A Certain Magic by Mary Balogh

5.0

A sweet second-chance romance that's one of Ms. Balogh's earlier books. Alice and Piers have been friends (and secretly in love) for years, though each married another. Now widowed, they have a chance to find romance when Piers is trapped by another woman.
I really enjoyed this story. Alice and Piers are sweet together, yet I wanted to shake Piers before he finally realized that Alice was the woman for him. When he was repeating the mistake of his first marriage, I was horrified. It was truly nice to see the happy ending.
