Review
Moira's past has left her scared of the future, while Rory believes he has none, thanks to a family history that some call a curse. This of course leaves them perfectly placed to find refuge and hope in each other, despite what seems like the whole world against them. I genuinely liked both the leads and how they treated each other, and so bought fully into their happy ever after. I do want to warn for mention of past spousal abuse, for any who may wish to avoid this, but I also appreciated seeing Moira's trauma treated gently and respectfully.
Can I take a moment to rave about Moira's pot plants? They pop up three times in the story - I won't spoil the fun (though everyone around me got to know as I came across them as I couldn't hold in the joy) but each time helped me fall a little more in love with Moira and Rory. I never thought pot plants could hold so much meaning!
Best enjoyed surrounded by greenery (plant moms of the world, rejoice!), this is a light and enjoyable historical romance!
