Dearly Beloved

by  

A story of true love brought together by fate and difficult circumstances.

Diana Lindsay is raising her son alone in the country with only a single maid as her sole friend and companion when a woman from London happens upon her cottage during a blizzard. Diana has only known of country life and is intrigued when she hears this woman tales from London.

Deciding that fate has brought her new friend and the opportunity to go to London, Diana jumps at the chance to find love in London.

Gervase Brandelin, the Viscount St. Aubyn has not lived the life of a saint, but over the years he has worked had to redeem himself in his work and life choices. When he happens upon Miss Lindsay a a party, the immediate pull of attraction feels to right to be wrong… almost as if he know her from before.

Both harbouring many secrets and even more hurt, can these two reach past that to find love and redemption in each other?

I enjoyed Mary Jo Putney’s writing and found the characters very compelling. I felt their hurt and their joys. This book dealt with some very mature themes. I was concerned when these themes were introduced, but I feel like it was handled well and integral to the plot.

This was a hot and dramatic read, that had me on the edge of my seat and melting in my chair at times. I recommend this book.

Dearly Beloved by Mary Jo Putney is to be re-released June 25, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books (Zebra) through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
