Love Unseen

About the Book:

Hannah Hadley is a permanent fixture in London Society and well on her way to becoming a spinster. Despite her beauty and kind disposition, Hannah has accepted the harsh reality of her situation: she will never marry. Continually affected by an illness from her youth, Hannah acknowledges her chances of entertaining potential suitors, at least respectable ones, is slim.

To members of the ton, Jonathan Carter is undeniably unsuitable. Though he is in possession of a massive fortune and is handsome as well, there remains an insurmountable black mark against him: his is new money. Even so, he’s caught off guard when his enchanting neighbor, Miss Hadley, flatly rejects his offer to dance. Despite their rocky introduction, however, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. But when circumstances force Hannah from her home, the couple’s warm association comes to an abrupt end. Now, Jonathan must find a way to rescue the woman he just might love or risk losing her forever.

My Review: 

Hannah Hadley has many things to overcome in her life. When a life-altering incident occurred, Hannah could have chosen to be bitter, but instead chooses to make the best of her life. Hannah cannot seem to do anything to please her mother. In fact, the more she tries, the nastier her mother gets. It is a surprising twist to the story when her mother reveals why she loathes her. Hannah is by far the better of the two women and a person you’d love to have in your circle of friends. 

At first, Jonathan Carter reminded me of Mr. Darcy with his aloofness towards the people he meets at a ball. But, I quickly realized that all is not as it seems. As his true character is shown as the story unfolds I found him to be one of my favorite characters.  

Things to enjoy: 

Cinderella theme

Overcoming heroine

Determined suitor

Forgiveness

Rocky courtship

Seeing Hannah have a happy ending with Jonathan was just what I wanted to happen to her. It was so rewarding to see Jonathan be her hero and champion. Readers of historical romance will enjoy this book.
