What is this book about?

Tainted by scandal and forced to leave London for the quieter Brighton countryside, the Honorable Miss Clara DeLancey is a shadow of her former society self. She’s lost the man she loved to another and, in a culture that has no patience for self-pity, is struggling with depression. A chance encounter brings her a healing friendship with the sisters of an injured naval captain. But Clara’s society mama is appalled at the new company she’s keeping.

Captain Benjamin Kemsley is not looking for a wife. But his gallant spirit won’t let him ignore the penniless viscount’s daughter–not when she so obviously needs assistance to keep moving forward from day to day. Can he protect his heart and still keep her safe?

When they’re pushed into the highest echelons of society at the Prince Regent’s Brighton Pavilion, this mismatched couple must decide if family honor is more important than their hopes. Can they right the wrongs of the past and find future happiness together–without finances, family support, or royal favor?

My review:

This is one of those stories that serves as a reminder that we don’t know what other people are going through. Clara DeLancey was in book one of this series and she doesn’t appear to be a very good person. In reading her story, we begin to understand her struggles. Clara’s journey to find the One who would fill the hole in her life was very inspirational.

Clara was surrounded by people who either disliked her or were apathetic and I really enjoyed the selflessness and light that Benjamin and his family brought to her. Their romance was slow burning and very sweet.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Sweet romance

What I didn’t like about this book:

Slow start

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Nice inspirational journey from selfishness to embracing God and a very sweet romance. This is the third book in the series. I recommend reading at least the first book in the series to fully appreciate what makes Clara ‘dishonorable’.
