Eh. Far less engaging than the first of the Nimway Hall series written by [a:Stephanie Laurens|9241|Stephanie Laurens|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1384909892p2/9241.jpg]. It is 1794, and Nimway Hall is now occupied by the daughter of our couple from the first in the series. The family has suffered a terrible loss: the death by accident of her eldest daughter, Caroline, the next Guardian of Nimway. Her twin sister Charlotte is about to marry the childhood playmate, and in honor of the wedding, a renowned Italian sculptor, Marco Rossi, has been hired to build a new mantlepiece from Carrera marble for the hall.
Marco of course is young, handsome, and viral. Charlotte is in reality passionate and wild. You know what happens. And the mysterious orb shows up to help things along. Yet overall it failed to weave the legend and magic surrounding the Hall into the story. I was counting the pages until this all too predictable historical romance ended.

nimway hall has magical protections and a special orb that brings people together in love. charlotte is mourning her twin sisters death and preparing for a wedding she isn't excited about. marco di rossi is a sculptor hired by her parents to create a masterpiece at the hall. they find themselves drawn to each other even though it could cost his career and cut her off from her family. in the end the mystery surrounding her sisters death is revealed and true love prevails.
"life isn't all happy or all sad. instead it's a fascinating mixture of both."
"fascinating? how can you say that?"
"because without one, we would never appreciate the other."
"you cannot change yourself just to please others."
"i'm just trying to be better."
"better implies that you weren't good enough before, and you were."
-i skimmed a lot of this book. its a multi-author series and i'm not inspired to read more by this author. 2 stars.

It was good -- I just wished it had been longer, more fleshed out if that makes sense.
