by Liz Fielding
A tender romance full of heart
Liz Fielding's Reunited: Marriage in
a Million is the an incredible first book in a 3 author trilogy
called Secrets We Keep. Published under the Harlequin Romance line,
advertised as "From the Heart, For the Heart", this tender romance is
truth in advertising at its very best. A five star read and then some! Reunited: Marriage in a Million is
an emotional read filled with memorable characters and scenes and a
delightful resolution.
Belle Davenport, widely known and loved host of a morning television
show, defied her husband Ivo. Taking a stand for her independence, she
joins the Great Cycling Adventure in the Himalayas, a charity event
that will benefit children. Bruised and bloodied from a fall, she
confides in two other women cyclists when Ivo does not rush to her side
despite the television coverage. When she returns home, Belle is
determined to lead a new life even if it means walking out on her
prestigious job and husband. Some secrets just can no longer be kept
under wraps. Can Ivo face the secrets that he has kept from Belle since
their wedding? Can this successful hard core businessman find a way
back to her heart and find his heart in the process of winning her?
What will her viewers and the paparazzi say when secrets are unveiled?
Belle Davenport keeps secrets of her past from her husband and her
television viewers. In an exchange for security, she compromised and
gave up her heart. Ivo kept a secret
from Belle before their marriage. Both have scars and dark pasts which
complicate their lives and dreams. When the secondary characters Manda
and Daisy enter the scene, will the marriage break apart or will Daisy
and Manda's past, current demands and their deeper longings open Belle
and Ivo's hearts to the love in their marriage?
How many times have we all heard those classic wedding vows? Most of us
could recite them as well as any minister. Liz Fielding revitalizes
these familiar words with such a romantic scene that I don't think I
will ever hear those words again the same way.
Just when I think Liz Fielding just can’t possibly move my heart any
more than it is already moved, she does it again. The scissors scene,
the jewelry pouch, the wedding ring ---there is even one scene with no
sex that just had me on the edge. Humor, passion, romance, and the
heart all together with some of the best writing I have seen this year.
The hero is to die for--true a bit of an Alpha but also a lost soul
that would steal anyone’s heart. The secondary characters are superbly
written. I hate them (and love hating them) but how quickly that
changes as more secrets are revealed---unforgettable characters and
scenes!
Reunited: Marriage in a
Million has a place reserved on my most special reads bookshelf.
This romance stole my heart in a big, big way. Read this book with your
heart. Make sure you have a tissue or a piece of chocolate next to you
or a child or a husband or a beloved pet to hug or a great girlfriend
to call when you finish this book. This book will make you want to
share love or have your hand touching your heart when you finish it. I
confess, I did have watery eyes a couple of times when I read this
romance….not because it is sad but rather because Reunited: Marriage in a Million is
such a beautiful romance and one so beautifully written.
