pickI adored Maggie and Simon. This book was so good!
Maggie is accused of trying to steal her friends fiancé and her reputation is ruined. She loved Simon, yet he turned his back on her.
Ten years later she is back in London and has a hidden identity, but has also stopped worrying about her reputation.
She and Simon find their way back to each other, dealing with the past, blackmailing and both of their reputations.
pickThis was a good romance. Your typical romance. Girl debuts, man lies and ruins her reputation. 10 years later she runs into the man she loved back then and their journey to falling back in love. Maggie is a strong female character, doesn‘t ask for forgiveness, knows who she is, plays up her bad reputation. The “mystery” was glaringly obvious. But the reasoning behind it was not satisfyingly resolved for me. I still don‘t know his motivation.
bailedWho is more interesting than the lead couple? Almost everyone else in this insipid tale. The debutante heroine‘s reputation is ruined by a lie. The hero slut-shames her for almost the entire book. He was a prize jackass for so long, no amount of apology could redeem him.
