I liked this story, I'm glad they go rid of the ridiculous revenge plot quickly and into a death threat mystery. Dec 21, Meg marked it as dnf Shelves: romance , , audiobook.
I read the description and while I have a hit or miss relationship with second chance romances, I felt immediately drawn in. In the story there is someone who is trying to make sure that Nick dies and who that is revealed just before the end and it was unexpected.

Very different from the other two books. This book had a bit of suspense and thriller in it unlike the other two previous books. Loved the writing style. I loved that fact that Ellie was portrayed as slightly different from Amelia and Madeline, because she didn't had a scandal on her part that stopped her from wanting to get married. Mar 18, Sofia Currin rated it really liked it Shelves: historical-babey. I actually really enjoyed this book and the plot too.
The plot was a little iffy but it all worked out in the end I guess. The characters were cute and sweet and didn't fall in to the usual trope of past lovers with revenge schemes. I was pleasantly surprised by that.
Characters from earlier Muses of Mayfair stories pop up to provide the comic relief. Nov 08, Cinzia rated it really liked it.

The book is written really very well, excellent plot, enriched with a little mistery, all the characters well delineated and described, even those which appear marginally and I love the irony, in dialogues between the characters that I've always found in this series.
Ellie and Nick are both marked from the past, which left indelible scars in them, Nick tries to hate the woman who finds in front of him, but he can't find the girl he knew. Ellie in turn blames herself and she fears the intensity of feelings for Nick.
Love and hate, revenge and forgiveness, passion and tenderness. Beautiful and I can't wait to continue the series, I hope the next book is about Prudence. Thanks to Netgalley and Sara Ramsey for the book. Ma Ellie Clairborne sa che tutto questo sta per finire, insieme a lei.

Ellie e Nick sono entrambi segnati dal passato, che ha lasciato in loro ferite indelebili, Nick tenta di odiare la donna che si ritrova davanti, ma in lei non trova traccia della ragazza che conosceva.
Amore e odio, vendetta e perdono, passione e dolcezza. Bellissimo e non vedo l'ora che prosegua la serie, spero con il libro su Prudence. Si ringrazia Netgalley e Sara Ramsey per il libro.
Bittersweet Great narrator! She makes the characters come alive. The story is full of angst and bitterness but with an HEA! Nov 11, Kathy L. Muses of Mayfair Through enjoyable story.
