The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward
Leo and Felicity's story
What a great book!! I was totally smitten with the MC our hero British aristocrat Leo. While he was spending the summer clearing his head from the pressures of the family business and duties, he meets neighbour Felicity, a strong, out spoken woman that he's instantly drawn to. The chemistry is real but they know when the summer is over they will have to part. Unable to fight the attraction they find themselves totally into each other until the summer ends and they must go their own ways. These characters broke my heart. They were both so real, so broken from their heartbreaking situation. Ms. Ward definitely kept my interest as she wove this tale into one of my favourite reads so far this year! The secondary characters were great too, I really enjoyed Leo's cousin Sigmund with his pompous attitude and sassy banter. I am looking forward to more from this storyline with Sig's story The Surrogate!!
