My Review:

I am enjoying these interconnected stories of Sarah M. Eden's. I thought at first I would read each series by itself, but then decided to read them in the recommended reading order (see below). And, I am so glad I did. I am enjoying seeing how the characters from different books are connected.

Well, this one is my least favorite so far. I had a hard time getting into the story at first, not knowing why Elise ran away, but it was aggravating me because of why it seemed. In a way, I was right, and I didn't enjoy the plot point that was driving the story. 

I liked Miles (the cousin of Marion-her story in Drops of Gold), and enjoyed learning more about him and his sister Beth. However, I would have enjoyed the story more if Marion had made an appearance in this one.

Miles and Elise are both somewhat lost in reclaiming their relationship, and a bit clueless as well. There is a small mystery running in the background, and it resolves quickly (near the end of the book), but needed a bit more.

It's difficult to say more without giving any spoilers. I liked the story, but when compared to the others, it was a bit underwhelming.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):

They were inseparable in their youth, the very best of friends, two halves of a whole. For four years, Miles Linwood, the Marquess of Grenton, has felt incomplete without her. When a carriage breakdown leaves him temporarily stranded in a tiny town, Miles makes an unexpected discovery that will alter the course of his life, and rewrite the pages of his past.
