An Evening to Remember
Tamara Gill
Historical Romance
When hearts collide, can love overcome the secrets of the past?
Lady Matilda has faced the London marriage mart for three Seasons, and with each passing year, her resolve to remain independent grows stronger. She’s determined never to lose herself in a marriage that would stifle her adventurous spirit—until she meets Lord Christopher Wright, at a country wedding.
Christopher ignites a passion Matilda never expected, but he’s hiding a secret: a long-ago betrothal made in haste, one that threatens to destroy their blossoming love. As his past comes to light, Matilda’s fears of losing herself as a wife seem all too real.
Will Christopher break free from the promise of his youth and win Matilda’s heart, or will the weight of deception be too much for her to forgive?
Uncaged Review: So, Lady Matilda Lane-Fox is at her dear friend Charlotte’s house party when suddenly Charlotte’s brother, the Marquess Charteris, Lord Christopher Wright, shows up. Matilda can’t deny her instant attraction to Christopher and steals a kiss from him. Matilda doesn’t think anything will come from it, especially when she finds out that Christopher enjoys kissing her too. Well, one kiss leads to several more, but the house party is about to get interesting because Lady Delphine also has a very strong attachment to Christopher. Pretty soon, Matilda and Christopher are spending a lot of time together. The only problem is that Christopher doesn’t want to marry anyone because he might already be betrothed. What is Matilda to do, and can she convince Christopher to take a chance at love, or will he deny the growing attraction and let Matilda leave him?
When I heard about this historical I wanted to instantly read it because I am just a sucker for best friend brother romances. Sure, it’s familiar and almost formulaic, but I just enjoy them so much! Also, how could this book even be a novella? It sure didn’t feel or read like one. The story felt complete and even with some minor confusion about the characters, because I didn’t read the other two books in the series, this story was still a very quick page turner and a lovely read that I liked it! I do plan on reading the others just so I can understand the relationships between all the characters, but it isn’t necessary to read this in order because it can still stand alone. I couldn’t help but fall for Christopher even though at times I didn’t trust him because he had so many secrets, but Matilda was an amazing heroine that I just adored her! I do look forward to more and Ms. Tamara Gill has definitely turned me into a faithful reader of her stories! Reviewed by Roslynn Ernst
