Lady Jennifer and Ben Ellis have an attraction but there's the gulf of her disability and his background. Lady Jennifer has some dreams and most of them are out of her reach but when Ben realises that he can help her achieve some of them he goes full bore, and has to apologise occasionally for overreaching and not checking in with her if that's what she wants. The slow development of the relationship and the realisation that they were in love was just do nice to read. All-in-all a very good read. ( ) Mary Balogh always delivers. I'm enjoying the Ravenswood series very much, and I've been waiting for Ben's story. He's the illegitimate older brother who is widowed with a small child, Joy. He's always been able to fade into the woodwork while ensuring that only the best happens for his family. Jennifer is the granddaughter and sister of a Duke and is far above his station. She was stricken with, I'm guessing, polio as a child and can barely walk. Ben is a solutions guy who wants to open Jennifer's world for her. She's always been content with her life but stifled. As the two get to know each other, they gradually fall in love, but society's strictures stand in their way. It's a slow-burn love story that incorporates all the Ravenswood crew and even some characters from previous series. I enjoyed it very much and can't wait for the next book in the series. There is an absolute quiet, joyful, comfort in reading a Mary Balogh novel. You have to be prepared for glacially slow, but her characters are so lovely that you just want to continue to share their amazing development. Ben and Jennifer both grew so much here, and it was gorgeous to see how they fell for each other; as always the families here were wonderful, and the running theme throughout was belonging. I think more Balogh rereads need to happen this year as I adore her storytelling. Gentle, loving romance. Despite both belonging to a large extended family (because his sister married her brother), Ben and Lady Jennifer cannot ever be a couple. Their stations in life are just too different: she is the daughter of a duke, and he is illegitimate. But when Ben realizes that Lady Jennifer, crippled by a childhood illness, wants--and deserves--more mobility than she has, they are drawn together.

Appartient à la sérieRavenswood (3)
"Left unable to walk by a childhood illness, Lady Jennifer, sister of the Duke of Wilby, has grown up to make a happy place for herself in society. Outgoing and cheerful, she has many friends and enjoys the pleasures of high society-even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park. She is blessed with a large, loving, and protective family. But she secretly dreams of marriage and children, and of walking - and dancing. When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aidof primitive crutches, he instantly understands her yearning. He is a fixer. It is often said of him that he never saw a practical problem he did not have to solve. He wants to help her discover independence and motion-driving a carriage, swimming, evenwalking a different way. But he must be careful. He is the bastard son of the late Earl of Stratton. Though he was raised with the earl's family, he knows he does not really belong in the world of the ton. Jennifer is shocked-and intrigued-by Ben's ideas,and both families are alarmed by the growing friendship and perhaps more that they sense developing between the two. A duke's sister certainly cannot marry the bastard son of an earl. Except sometimes, love can find a way"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
