5.0

Baron Cranston won't give his heart again—not after the way Abigail broke it by marrying another man. Now a widow, Abigail reveals that Cranston, not her late husband, is her daughter's father. She's shocked when Cranston proposes a marriage of convenience. Can she restore the trust between them?

This is an uplifting story that gives the characters a second chance after the heartbreaking way their young love ended. They both carry a lot of hurt, and Cranston a lot of anger. But he's sweet to his daughter and devoted to being a good father to her. It's an entertaining and heartwarming book.

Thanks, Booksprout, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Abigail and Gideon were in love when they were young, however her father did not want her to marry Gideon so he pressured her to marry a man old enough be her grandfather. Cranston was devastated and left town. Abigail was pregnant with Gideon’s child when he left. When her husband found out she was pregnant with another man’s child, he was angry and banished her to another home and had nothing to do with her. Years later she is now a widow and Gideon is back so she approaches him to explain what happened. Gideon wants to get know his daughter and agrees to marry Abigail but wants nothing to do with her. Can these two mend their broken hearts and reunite?
Oh the angst. I love the angst. I’m always here for the longing and pinning one character or both characters have for each other, it makes the book so good. Loved the book. This is the first book in this series Landing a Lord that I have read but I’m going to go back to read the others.

Short enough for a quick read. This book used the second chance romance trope along with a unique twist on accidental pregnancy, but the author failed to make me feel anything positive for the characters. In fact, I liked the side characters more than the main characters. Gemma, too, was sweet enough but wasn't a very remarkable child.

I would have liked to see some more emotions from both characters, maybe some conversations where they talk out their feelings and get over their past. The love confession and realisations both weren't as effective as they could have been either.
