    About this ebook

    An unlikely connection between two wary lovers becomes something more in this “engaging and compelling romance with undertones of suspense and drama” (Romance Junkies).
     
    When a broken heart leaves her life in ruins, American girl Honor Sontag flees to the seaside resort town of Brighton, England. She’s there to take a much-deserved break, and to search for her birth mother who abandoned her as a baby. But she soon finds herself entangled with a mysterious young man whose family seems to have a finger in every pot in town.
     
    Martyn Mayfair has sworn off women with any strings attached, but he’s irresistibly drawn to the charming American who keeps popping up in his life. All he wants is a relationship built on honesty, but Honor’s past threatens to undermine their growing romance.
     
    When secrets about her mother start to spill out, Honor must make an agonizing choice. Will she live up to her dutiful name and do what others demand? Or will she finally choose freedom for herself?

      The story is about Honor, a young American woman who has decided to try and find her mother’s family in the South of England. It’s a story of discovery, and of the inevitable relationship that develops between two young people: prickly at first, fraught with misunderstandings, and then a growing friendship. Sue Moorcroft creates three dimensional and believable people, and while some of her minor caricatures were rather stereotyped, I liked the two main protagonists, and also a teenage boy who is badly bullied at school. The ending takes a direction I wasn’t expecting, revealing more about Honor’s past and also her marriage, and then eventually leads to the expected and satisfactory conclusion. Overall I liked this book, and am glad I read it; but don’t feel that I can recommend it to friends due to the ‘adult’ nature of so much of the language and some detailed bedroom scenes later in the book which don't suit the author's style and rather spoiled the flow of the otherwise enjoyable book. Read on my Kindle while travelling.

      Should I say it again? Ok I will. I like Moorcroft's books because they feel so real and at the same time they are sweet and romantic. And they are so British, you have to love that feeling you get how you just want to go in live in the novel.To the story then. Honor leaves Connecticut because of troubles. I am not going to tell you what since we do not know it at once, but I do understand why she wanted to leave everything behind and start new. She is also looking for her mother who she has never known. Those two things are the troubles in her life. She has had her share of hard times but she still has a positive outlook on life and I really liked her for that. She has a good degree but she is willing to work as anything (except as what she know). Sure she could have told certain people certain things but life is not easy and she acted like anyone would act. To the man then, Martyn, and now I do not want to say more so not to spoil things. Let's just say he is really hunky, he does have a wandering eye (in the past that is) cos he has been hurt so he keeps things casual. But when these two meet they become friends since they are thrown into each other's lives at times. The attraction is there and building but neither wants to act. That is what I like about her books, people take things slow, they talk, they laugh and they fall in love.And it's England, they eat fish and chips, drink tea and say English things (which of course Honor does not understand what they mean but I have no trouble with. Used to that.) There is just something about a good British novel.So yes it is a novel about finding your freedom and falling in love. About meeting new friends and doing what you want to do instead of what other people want you to do. And last yes there is drama too, this drama comes in form of a big jerk whose ass I wanted to kick. But you can't let jerks hold you down and no one can hold Honor down any more. Conclusion:This was a lovely story that I read through fast. I was very interested in finding out who her mum was and what happened back home, and of course when she and Martyn would get together. It was sweet, uplifting and real. Moorcroft has not disappointed me so far and I hope she will write many more wonderful novels.I do recommend her novels. They are not contemporary romance and not quite fiction but a lovely middle thing in my eye.Rating:Good
