review 1: Beatrix seemed totally confused and lost for a good portion of the story, but that makes things understandable from her viewpoint. She has not clue as to what she really wants until literally the last few moments of the book. Will took his convictions all the way to the end, when he made a realization that money cant and wont buy love or happiness.This was my first read by Gurhke, makes some unconventional choices in her hero and heroine for a historical romance, but things work out in the end.
review 2: It's been ages since I read a book by Laura Lee Guhrke, I believe the reason I stopped reading her was because of a few of her previous books I felt were, for the lack of a better word, crappy. Lately I've been seeing her titles around and it got me curious.
... moreI know she's in the middle of a new series, so I decided to start at the beginning. I'm beginning with the first book of Abandoned at the Altar series, Wedding of the Season.Beatrix and Will were childhood sweethearts, they always knew that they would marry. But a few weeks before their wedding Will gets an offer to join an Egyptian dig and he assumes that Beatrix will accompany him. She on the other hand does not want to leave England and gives Will an ultimatum, his dream or her. He chooses his dream. And Beatrix is left with a broken heart. Fast forward six years, Will is returning to England and Beatrix is getting ready to get married to another man. And that's when the struggle begins, following your heart or following what society deems acceptable.To be completely honest I didn't have high hopes for this book, so I was surprised on how much I enjoyed Beatrix and Will's story. They were both great characters, each with their own conflicts and desires and it seemed that they just needed a little more time to sort their feelings and set course to their life together. I enjoyed that the book set in the Edwardian time, it was a nice change to either Regency or Victorian times. The author did a great job with the fashion of time and also the technology that was available in the early 1900's. less
