Their divergent paths have caused them to grow as people, and it’s fun to see them come together. I simply loved Sam and Willie, who are utterly believable, unique and interesting.
The plot and the two main characters are largely responsible for this story’s success. Through the years, heartbreak, and hurt feelings, the love that originally brought them together endures. They share the stories of their lives and find that they each have kept tabs on each other. When they meet again (both victims of the bad weather), both have matured and are able to relate to each other as adults. In the intervening years, Willie marries one of her protectors, and Sam married the daughter of one of his mentors. When Sam came home and discovered what had happened, their interaction did not go well, and a subsequent one was little better. Her beauty attracted the attention of an up and coming artist, and she became a high-priced courtesan. They intended to marry but were cruelly separated when Sam was impressed by the navy.īelieving Sam to be dead (and cast out of her home by her parents), Willie had few options open to her. He had lost both parents when he was young and supported himself as a fisherman, and she was the daughter of the local blacksmith. Captain Sam Pellow shares them they both grew up in the same Cornish fishing village. The heroine, Wilhelmina, is currently a duchess, but her origins are much more humble. The book I read then was merely okay, but I loved this story. I reviewed her once before, years ago, when she was first making a transition from traditional Regencies to longer European Historicals. From This Moment On by Candace Hernįrom This Moment On by Candice Hern was an unexpected delight. The premise is interesting, and each author brings something a little bit different to the table. According to the forward, this was Mary Balogh’s idea, and I thought it was a good one. All concern couples who get stuck at an inn for one reason or another, and each couple has a prior acquaintance but has not seen each other for ten years. The premise of the book is quite fun and original: Each story has the same basic plot elements. Though the cover is snowy, the four stories each take place during a different season of the year.
Initially, I thought It Happened One Night was a Christmas anthology.
