Unspoken and bittersweet truths

This tale of love is bittersweet and the truths revealed at the end caused my heart to ache for the couple. The story is at times reminiscent of Betty Neels' work. For the most part it is not overwhelmed by non-stop action and passion but instead uses a more realistic approach to relationships and life. People need time. They need time to get to know themselves and each other. The heroine is a confused young woman pulled into a storm and blinded by beauty and false charm. The hero is not a he-man. With the exception of his being rich, he is a regular man, perhaps even better than the average man. The women do not drool as he walks by; he is often overlooked (even by the heroine). His sense of patience, honor and kindness sets the overall mood which also works as a foil to his brother's, the original fiance, unpleasant behavior and actions. Overall, this story is a wonderful change of pace and a pleasant read.

Great addition for Sara Craven fans!

This is information from the cover of the book: IT WAS OUTRAGEOUS . He couldn't be serious! One day Amanda was happily engaged to Nigel, a flamboyant British car rally driver, the next she was the reluctant fiance of his stern, laconic older brother, Malory Templeton. As if she hadn't been through enough. Hadn't finding Nigel in the arms of another woman been more than she deserved? The hard glitter in Malory's eyes told her otherwise. Malory was a virtual stranger to her, but Amanda had no choice. Her own foolish pride had caused the crazy switch in fiances, and Malory, it seemed, was going to hold her to it!
