Mrs. Sommersby's Second Chance by Laurie Benson
5.0
Let me just say something up front… Although I haven’t read all the books in this series, I now really want to because I loved this book and meeting all the characters makes me wonder about the previous books, so you guys really have to check out the entire series, because that’s what I’m doing next: reading the books I haven’t read yet.
Speaking of this book in particular. Regency novels was what made me start in this crazy Historical Romance addiction that I have now, and it’s still one of my favorite sub-genres. Overall, despite not having read the previous books, except “One Week to Wed”, I knew this was an amazing ending.
Like I said, this is the final book in the series and I got from the characters interaction how important Clara is for the series and to the other character. I had already gotten a feeling for the characters with “One Week to Wed”, but this one gave me another perspective. Maybe because I don’t really know the story of the other characters and haven’t followed the storyline of the series correctly.
Speaking of the characters… Clara, brilliant, always love when a matchmaker meets her own match. William was charming, such a hard-worker and I absolutely loved him; then again don’t I always love the hero in the historical romance novels I read? But let’s get back on track… their moments together were amazing, I loved seeing how they reacted to one-another, especially Clara, it made things funny and exciting.
Then there were the other characters, some I have met in the first book, and that I could see the family feeling and strong friendship there was between them, which made me want to read the books and know about their own struggles, accomplishments, dreams and lovey-dovy moments.
Overall, I loved it. I can never resist this kind of genre and the all matchmaker character. And this book was very unique because it follows characters that are older (late 30s, early 40s) and I loved that because they so deserve their own love story. Plus, Clara and William are so cute together! And if that don’t win your heart then I have no idea what will.
