Her fateful meeting with Lord Trentham (Hugo) on a deserted beach at the Pendarris estate and the subsequent development of their relationship made for good reading. Gwen always seemed so aloof and not quite alive and it was great to see her growth into a wonderfully alive and caring person.
Lord Trentham was a big, burly man who seemed at times so crude and rude but then so tender. He was a very plain speaking man who had been through the horror of war and came back a titled hero who was wounded inside. His care for his sister and stepmother was admirable.
I really liked the humor that was apparent from time to time especially as Hugo would say he hadn't decided if he was courting Gwen even as he actually was.
The secondary characters were well done and at times helped moved the story along but it was Gwen and Hugo that made this book!

Mary Balogh writes some of the best sex scenes. She handles them with taste but does not leave out the feelings of passion and love The way Hugo and Gwen traversed between two worlds was somewhat amazing although at times I was not sure whether they would be able to do that.
All in all a very satisfactory story that I highly recommend. It is also available in audio from Audible.com
