BLOG TOUR w/ GIVEAWAY: A Guarded Heart by Heidi Kimball


ABOUT THE BOOK

Three years after a shocking scandal destroyed her family and forced her into isolation, Eleanor Hayward finally has an opportunity to put her painful history and dashed hopes behind her. But reentering society is no simple task. In her cousin’s glittering ballroom, Eleanor is stunned when she comes face-to-face with the man who broke her heart those years before.

Edmund Fletcher thought he had laid the past to rest until he unexpectedly encounters the woman who so nearly became his wife. Soon to be engaged to another, Edmund knows he must let go of the complicated feelings he harbors for Eleanor. However, when the Hayward scandal resurfaces and the truth behind their parting is revealed, Eleanor and Edmund are left reeling. Tormented by thoughts of what could have been, they realize it is impossible to rewrite history. But is there a future in which they might both find happiness—and true love?

REVIEW

Kimball has written a tender story about reconciliation and forgiveness.  Eleanor has spent the last three years of her life hiding away from society.  After her brother's choices destroy her social standing, she's tried to put her life back together.  Being dropped by her almost fiance at the same time didn't help any.  But now she's hoping to rebuild her life.  But running into her former flame brings up all the pain of the past and she's left reeling.  Edmund, on the other hand, has spent the last three years trying to forget Eleanor and her actions.  After running into her again though, he realizes that his feelings aren't completely gone.  And when he discovers the real reason for their parting, he's torn between duty and love.  I sympathized with Eleanor's difficulties and even Edmund's struggles brought a pang.  But both make the best of some very difficult situations and their hearts take care of the rest.
