Their Second Chances Season by Ella Matthews #BookReview

 

 

Welcome to Ella Matthews for her latest novel, Their Second Chance Season which was published on 24th April.      

Their Second Chance Season Can a ballroom reunion...  Lead to a union at the altar? 

War hero James Ashworth needs a rich wife to restore his family’s fortune. Despite the scars battle left on his soul, he’ll do his duty—even if everywhere he turns, he sees the woman he loved and lost...

Meeting James catapults widow Amelia back to the past—the letters he stopped responding to while at Waterloo and her subsequent forced marriage. Yet, when she discovers her father’s role in the Ashworths’ misfortune, she’s compelled to help—even if she has no intention of falling for the man who broke her heart!

                                    My Thoughts                                               

     This  is a marvellous trip into regency England and introduces you to the Ton where people can mix according to the different customs of the time.  Time has passed since Amelia has known James but she finds that the feelings she felt at the time have not changed.  This is a story which shows you that fami;y ties can be overridden and  that childhood friendships can develop.

  This is full of the details of the time amd lets you see how different genders were expected to behave.  Amelia has a certain freedom as she is a widow but even so.she is expected to subjugate her wishes to those of the men in her life.
