Henrietta makes her home in Boston where she spends her time writing her own enchanting historical romances, and chasing around her dog for long hours, without even noticing. She truly believes the most perfect heroes and heroines are imperfect, and she rather enjoys torturing them before giving them a well deserved happily ever after!

⚖️⚖️ONE EXPLOSIVE WILD RIDE ⚖️⚖️
Spinning stars Stan! Henrietta just cranked my tractor, dialed my number and rang my bell with this hot little firecracker, delivering some harsh lessons and relentless expectations. One skillfully composed, hard hitting, heart pounding, pulse racing, adrenaline pumping, page flipping, block busting piece of perfection, exploding this baby to life brilliantly. Crushed limitations and boundless restrictions are heightened and expanded, unmasking the soaring ups and titillating downs. Catapulting this gem into a tailspin with a life-altering culmination. The attraction and chemistry collides with such intensity and ardor, exploding with boundless emotions and infinite affections, bringing our characters closer, uniting them together beautifully. The characters, banter, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits adding diversity, transforming into genuine realistic personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and vivid descriptions creating an elaborate backdrop that makes the storyline explode. Remarkable job Henrietta, thanks for sharing this amazing thrill with us.

Extremely poor editing
Inconsistencies throughout the book. Ex. Both Edward and Williams father supposed to have died within a fortnight of each other, y e t William's father was very much alive later in story. Aunt Charlotte is at the cottage then is never mentioned again, as well as Annabelles parents.
