Georgiana has spent her entire marriage acting outrageously and with reckless abandon to gossip, all in an attempt to gain her husbands attention. She was heartbroken when she believes they married for love only to find out that Brock had instead married for money. Since then, the couple have maintained a vast distance both emotionally and physically. But all that’s about to change.
One night, Georgiana takes things a step too far and attends a party meant to pair married persons with a lover. When Brock finds out, he in enraged and immediately storms the party to retrieve his silly wife. But Georgiana realizes before she even sees Brock that she’s made a mistake. That she doesn’t want this life of parties and lovers and sadness. She wants love, she wants her family back home in Wales. So, she thinks really hard and suddenly, her beloved Aunt appears. Only she’s not real, she’s a powerful illusion Georgiana has managed to create with Druid magic!
Now that Georgiana has used her long-suppressed powers, she’s the target of another powerful Druid who wants her dead to prevent the prophecy of Georgiana ruining his chances to take the throne. With her suddenly loving and doting husband in tow, she makes the track back to Wales. Back to a similar place she can practice her magic, where she meets another druid she is told she is destined to mate with. All the while struggling to find forgiveness for Brock and a handle of what her true destiny is.
I liked this book but I wasn’t in love. I found the chemistry between Brock and Georgiana lacking and that paired with a ton of Druid information and lore – seemingly out of nowhere- muddled the romance further. A lot of time was spent on Georgiana’s training and the read is just left to believe that she’s easily willing to love and trust Brock just because he refuses to leave her to be mated to another man. I liked Brock as a character however. The high society lord who scuffles with would be assassins for his wife and is outcasted and set aside by her family. Georgiana herself wasn’t horrible as character either, in fact, I quite enjoyed her stead fasted belief in herself and her love for her husband despite their problems. There was just something that didn’t click with me and I think it’s the division between plotline and romance- I could have done with a more in depth dive into the tension and pain between these two characters.
