Sweet story
This was a nice wrap up to this series. I enjoyed the sweet and consistent love Henry had. The learning to trust part of love was a good angle and I enjoyed seeing how it played out. I also enjoyed seeing Edward’s wit again.

Though I felt the plot had plausibility issues, who doesn't love a good marriage-of-convenience-turns-to-love story? As always, Ashtyn Newbold creates sweet characters that you root for and situations that give them a chance to shine.
In this installment of the Brides of Brighton series, Eleanor is returning home for the first time in five years. She is a widow with a young son, and a hefty amount of emotional damage from her unhappy marriage. The danger of losing custody of her son moves her to consider a quick remarriage, and Henry Beaumont offers to be her savior. She knows he has always wanted to marry for love, and he knows that she is too wounded to trust him. But, as one of their married friends points out, love can start with a choice.
This is a quick read. It's best read in order with the other books in the series. All the other couples from previous books make an appearance.

I liked that we got to see what ended up happening with Eleanor, but this wasn't my favorite of the series. I'm left with some questions about too many things to feel completely satisfied. For example, Henry's motivation for helping her wasn't explained enough. I think had they had a relationship during childhood or unrequited love on his part, I would have bought in to it easier.

3 stars.
Newbold lets herself down again by historical inaccuracies and shoddy research.
She does however always write well so it’s easy to read.
More of a novella as it’s so short.
I have such a love/hate relationship with this author. I’ve never read books by someone that branch right across the spectrum in terms of how I feel about them.

Cute and lighthearted
This was a quick read with a classic regency romance. The plot was interesting but a little predictable. The main characters were nice. Though I liked Henry more than Eleanor. He is the easy-to-love hero. A bit too perfect perhaps. However, it’s really cute how the love grows and especially how he loves her.
I give it 3.75
