Anne Ellis, maid to the headstrong Daphne, takes her place in an arranged marriage to the rough-hewn Jude Eastman, but the love they grow to share is threatened by her real identity This description may be from another edition of this product.
Not weighed down by stereotypical scenarios, the characters had much to work with. Anne as the heroine is sweet and hard-working, maybe a little too so to where it's almost realistic. Her motivations make sense, spurred on by offenses met in a former life. 'Hero' Eastman has more hangups than most of them, and he thankfully doesn't forget half of his dilemma's seriousness as soon as he sets his eye on Anne. Bonuses include Eastman's father, who was at the top of my list of who to love in the story, as well as Carter, the other potential love twist. The romance, once they succumbed, was sweet without being cloying. Eastman's protective stance once he finally made up his mind made my heart sing (yes, gag me with a spoon but this is really what I felt!), and in regard to intimacy, what a surprise. I guarantee you won't guess the small twist that's very abnormal in romance novels when that 'first night' finally rolls around. Sexually, Forever Yesterday is not steaming off the pages in any way, shape or form, but the story draws you in and holds you there from the start.
The first is still one of the best!!

Hello! This is the very first romance novel I ever bought and read, and recently I bought it again (my old copy got lost in moving around a few times) just to see if it was as good as I remembered it to be. It was!! The characters are so real and the conflicts are ones close to anyone's heart. They're subjects we all get a chance to come to face with sooner or later. I would highly recommend this book, it's a feel good story that left me looking at me sweetheart in a softer way. (He likes it!!:))
