HTML: Consummate man of business and rake at large, Worth Kettering, repairs to his country estate to sort out his familial situation, trusting the ever efficient (though as yet unmet) housekeeper, Jacaranda Wyeth, will provide his family a pleasant summer retreat. To his surprise, his household is manage by a quick-witted, violet-eyed beauty who's his match in many regards. As Jacaranda and Worth become enamored, the family she's kept hidden from him, the financial clients Worth feels singularly protective of, and the ragged state of affairs between Worth and his estranged older brother Hessian all conspire to keep Worth and Jacaranda apart. Worth must choose between love and profit, and Jacaranda must decide between loyalty to her family, and the love of a man who values her above all others. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

When she's offered opportunities to be vulnerable, to broach uncomfortable truths, to open wounds so they can heal, she instead chooses, to use Burrowes' own words, "to dodge and cringe and tiptoe around the past." If anything ever gets solved, or resolved, it's due entirely to the efforts of the people around her. And even then, she mostly says whatever she has to in order to avoid further conflict.
Romances, to me, are often about the growth the characters experience on their journey to finding happiness together. Worth grows. His family grows. Even Jacaranda's family grows a tiny fraction—gotta say, given their selfishness, I'm not looking forward to Burrowes' series on their love stories, ugh—but Jacaranda? Not at all. She gets to her happy ending because other people drag her to it, all the while graciously overlooking her inability to discuss difficult subjects with any degree of honesty, bravery, or clear-eyed directness.
