BLOG TOUR w/ GIVEAWAY : Forget Me Not by Sarah M. Eden

 
 
ABOUT THE BOOK
 
Nottinghamshire, 1785

Julia Cummings has long been acquainted with loss-her mother, her brother, her sister, her friend, all gone too soon. But the loss that pushed her grief to the limit as a young girl was that of her best friend, Lucas Jonquil, who abandoned her without looking back. Now, eight years later, Lucas has returned to Lampton Park, and Julia has steeled herself-she will never forgive the man who broke her heart.

After losing too many of his friends and family to early deaths, Lucas vowed to live life to the fullest. And after traversing the world, he has returned from his adventures to find his family and home as he left them-except for Julia. The little girl he left behind has blossomed into a captivating lady, a lady who makes it clear she despises him. With little hope of reconciliation, the former friends are blindsided when their parents make a shocking announcement. Lucas and Julia have been betrothed without their knowledge and are to marry immediately. Now Lucas must rely on the help of his closest friends to win the heart of a lady who loathes him-a lady he’s coming to love more deeply every day.

REVIEW

I adore Sarah Eden's Jonquil brothers series.  I've so enjoyed getting to know each of the seven brothers and reading about how they found love.  I look forward to reading Charlie's story. So, I was delighted to pick up this book that tells the story of brothers' parents, Julia (Mater) and Lucas.  I did notice that this one which still containing plenty of humor also has some really serious parts.  Julia and Lucas have a complicated history.  They were once dear friends, but Julia feels like Lucas abandoned her by claiming his inheritance when he did.  After so many broken promises, Julia is reluctant to trust Lucas again.  Lucas, however, has no clue why Julia pushes him away.  Things get even more complicated when their parents insist they get married.  Julia feels betrayed and Lucas has no idea how to fix their relationship. Luckily, the pair has help in the form of Lucas's group of friends known as the Gents.  With the help of these friends, Lucas and Julia manage to rebuild their relationship and find joy in each other once more. Having read the Jonquil boys books, I knew this would happen, but it was enjoyably sweet to read about it happening.  As always, Eden creates her setting, characters, and plot beautifully.  A wonderful start to a series that I have a feeling I will enjoy as much as I have the Jonquil brothers series.
