Appointment in Bath by Mimi Matthews

 

Appointment in Bath by Mimi Matthews and is the fourth in the Somerset Stories. I feel like it can be read as a stand-alone, but for more enjoyment read the whole series. Meg Burton-Smythe meets Ivor Beresford one day when she falls from her horse. They become friends. The only issue is that their families are sworn enemies.

I was reminded of Romeo and Juliet while reading the story, but thankful the story did not end the same as Shakespeare’s famous play. The characters growth throughout the story was beautiful to watch, and the author has an amazing way of sharing the thoughts and feelings of the characters as you walk with them. This closed door romance was delightful and the romance expressed expertly through dialogue, thoughts and beautifully crafted scenes.

This story had amazing romance, beautiful characters, and wonderful themes of forgiveness and redemption. I lost track of time and was immersed in Appointment in Bath. I highly recommend!

I was give a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
