Nice story....

Everyone in the reviewer gave 5 stars...I'm not dare to give 4 stars...hehe...because it can decrease the rating. For me this story is nice...even not ...not the best around the book I've read...but still nice to keep reading untill the last pages.

Beautiful Romantic Historical

After the death of her father, Lady Mallory is forced to marry John Barron in order to keep her beloved home Castle Craig. John Barron, is disgusted with his father's schemes to control his life. After the wedding, John escapes Castle Craig and England for a life in the military, leaving behind his young bride to tend to their home. He is guilt ridden that they both have been used as pawns in their family's games and thinks that leaving her is the best plan. Seven years later, John is forced to return from the continent after his fathers death and take up his new position of Viscount. He lives it up in London with gambling and mistresses, all the while his wife is barely eeking by at Castle Craig -unbeknownst to him because he believes that she is well kept with the money he has alloted. Mallory decides enough is enough when she is booted out of her beloved Castle for unpaid debts -her husbands. She seeks him out in London demanding her Castle back and an divorce. John is shocked to meet the fiery beauty. Things go from bad to worse when he learns that his uncle has been mounting debts in his name and has recently disappeared with all his money. Anne and John go on into hiding, posing as steward and his wife, in hopes that the uncle will surface believing his nephew has left the country. In hiding, Mallory and John fall in love. The story is absolutely beautiful in the way John tries to redeem himself for leaving Mallory all those years ago. She's reluctant at first, but he lays *siege* and is determined to win her heart. It's very heart warming to see the hero pursue his lady. Very romantic with lots of ~sigh~ scenes. This one's a shelf keeper, definitely makes the heart flutter. If you liked this one, You and Only You by Maxwell is also terrific.

Love Is So Grand

Lady Mallory and John Barron had no say in their arranged marriage. He was given a nights notice and Mallory was given about a day - all was arranged and two strangers met the wedding night. The wedding night was not to be remembered by Mallory, other than her humiliation that her groom left and would be gone for 7 long years. Having been forced from Craige Castle for unpaid bills, she went in search of her errant husband with the sole purpose of gaining a divorce. She had heard that he had returned from the continent's wars and was whooping it up in London.What follows is an absolutely lovely romantic story of love, trust and redemption. I thoroughly enjoyed the attempts of John to woo back his wife and finding himself falling in love with the woman that was once the girl he had left behind. It was so terribly sweet and so romantic. I did not find it boring at all ... This was truly a very touching love story and showed the growth and maturity of the two individuals who learned to overcome obstacles and find themselves to be friends who rather liked one another and then found that once in a lifetime....lasts forever kind of love! Great story!

It wasn't the best I've ever read...

"Falling in Love Again" was not a bad book. In fact, I found I was enjoying it some of the time. I thought the characters had a good deal of potential, and with a bit of tweaking, the story could have been five stars. The problem I found, was that I was growing bored. I felt the plot wasn't anything new, and the heroine didn't really strike me as stubborn and fierce (though the hero seemed to think so), instead she seemed a bit obnoxious, and I really couldn't see what was so wonderful about her. Another thing I disliked was how they were supposed to be looking for someone, but they spent the entire time on a farm "mucking out the stalls." So the plot slowed down there. While this book isn't the greatest thing I've ever read, but it was fairly enjoyable. I would recommend not to buy it, but perhaps check it out at a library for a quick, non-heavy read.

Falling in Love Again was an excellent book.

I really enjoyed the depth of the characters and felt that I knew them well by the end of the book. The plot didn't ever become "thin" and held my interest throughout the story. There was a hot magnetism between the two main characters; they couldn't stay away from one another even though Mallory did her very best to resist her husband. I enjoyed reading about the "harvest home" and felt that the author not only researched it well but wove it into the plot in a well thought out manner. Readers will fall in love with Falling in Love Again.
