Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a Cinderella story with a twist of revenge.Ms. Goodger has drawn her characters so well that they come alive. This story takes place when Newport was THE place to be and when divorcees were absolutely to be shunned. Henry Owen, a ruthless rogue in need to marry to claim his inheritance of an ancestral home, sets his sights on Anne Foster to complete his plans. Anee is an overweight, shy wallflower and can hardly believe that this wonderful man (in her eyes) wants to marry her. At the end of their wedding day Henry tells Anne that he must see to some business and will be back soon. He disappears and shortly thereafter, when Anne has to return to parents' home in disgrace, divorce papers arrive with no word of explanation. Anne soon becomes aware of the plot concocted by Henry and his friend Alex Henley to get Henry's inheritance. Anne is comforted by her best friend, Beatrice, and is totally shunned by everyone, even to the degree of being pushed out of her own home. Her mother does not want to lost HER social standing. Two years later a slim, beautiful woman - Anne - appears at a social gathering at the urging of her friend, Beatrice. Anne knows she will be shunned but feels she must do this.When Henry sees her, he does not recognize her and is instantly attracted to her. When he learns her identity, he is stunned and can hardly believe that this sophisticated woman is the woman he dumped two years ago. Beatrice convinces Anne to turn the tables on Henry by leading him on until a marriage proposal and then refuse him. However, the complication is that Anne has never stopped loving Henry. A subplot between Alex and Beatrice is very good. Five stars ++/
