review 1: I really enjoyed this story, it's been on my TBR list for ages - and I'm glad I finally picked it up and read it! I was pulled in right from the beginning. We meet Lucy and Sebastian in the midst of his proposal - and Lucy trying to decide whether to say yes - but having to promise to keep it all secret until after her cousin's wedding.Lucy quickly became my favorite character in this story. She was strong, protective of her brothers, thoughtful, creative and when she wanted to be - quite witty. Quickly she peeked the interest of James - next door neighbour to her cousin Portia's fiancee. On one of her excursions to paint, James stumbles over her on of his daily rides - as well as his sister Anna. From the beginning you can feel the connection these two have. Despit... moree her being secretly engaged.James and his sister Anna come to meet Lucy once a dinner party for Portia's engagement. Quickly sparks fly between Anna and Lucy's secret fiancee Sebastian. This creates quite the love triangle - Lucy & Sebastian, Sebastian & Anna and finally Lucy & James. All the characters have some ups and downs, and some obstacles to overcome to find their happiness - the story was well written and engaging.There were a few flagging moments in the story where is dragged, but it quickly picked up pace again to finish quite wonderfully. I've always been a sucker for a Happily Ever After story and this didn't disappoint.
review 2: hrmmm, it was okay. I was a bit disappointed in the writing. The first part of the book was interesting, the second half wasn't that good. There was something missing, and the little drama at the end was RIDICULOUS. A miss understanding and he's planning on leaving her forever? Seriously? I didn't like the heroine Lucy by the end of the book either. She was VERY TSTL. Over all it felt like an unfinished book or even poorly written fan fiction. less

I liked this, and remember bits and pieces, but not enough to actually write a review of it. sorry.

It started very well and then sort of went sideways. I'd say 3.5 stars over all.

I couldn't get past the second chapter. Snoozefest.
