Beyond Forgiveness

by Caro Fraser

Leslie Maskelyne had never done a thing in the name of love. Yet now, in the last, solitary months of his life, he indulges in one last act of a codicil to his will which changes everything. His daughters simply can't understand it. His son brought up with his eyes fixed firmly on his inheritance, can't believe his father meant to take it all away. Even Abby, the new beneficiary, doesn't know why it has happened. And she would rather not know, for, despite the fact that this strange twist of fate will make her richer than she ever imagined possible, it will also deny her the love of the only man she's ever really wanted...

Reviews

[Nikki H · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you've ever re-met an old love after 20 or 30 years, especially one for whom your feelings have never completely gone away, this might be the book for you ... The storyline depends on the legal technicalities of making a valid codicil and will, and since I know a bit about this, I did get impatient at how long it took for the main twist to be revealed. And I found it hard to believe that not one but two women with their heads screwed on right could be head over heels in love with the pretty worthless son of the main deceased character. But it's a good read and, as almost always with a Caro Fraser book, hard to put down. But I have now - sniff - read all of her books and feel quite sad that there won't be any more.

[Anthea Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Caro Fraser knows a lot about the law, which - to me - makes the story more feasible, and very interesting. An elderly man who is dying tries to make right something he did years before. This sets off a chain of events, involving a number of people. Well worth reading.

[Evie Maiolo · Rating 2 out of 5]

An easy read, with a slightly predictable storyline.

[Samantha · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ok, slightly predictable. The type of story that's been done before. The problem with the story is there isn't a character that you really like.
