Their love story is dramatic and conflict-ridden but the chemistry between them is established since their first meeting. Elizabeth and Ian’s characters are relatable and compelling.
The main draw of the story, for me, was the characters. Once he decides to be open and vulnerable with Elizabeth, he is the sweetest and the most supportive person in her life. He has reasons to behave and think the way he does, it is his defense mechanism. In the beginning a lot of times, he comes across as a little too harsh but then as you get to know about him more, it gets clearer. He is arrogant, shrewd, handsome, and very intelligent. Things have become harder for her since the entire Ian chapter and now she is left at her uncle’s mercy, her guardian, who just wants her to get married to anyone if he can help financially.Įlizabeth and Ian’s attraction to each other is stronger when they meet again but both have their misgivings about each other. It is revealed in the flashback how the Camerons’ have been struggling financially which is why it was important for Elizabeth to get marriage proposals in the first place. Elizabeth’s father left her and her half-brother Robert is in huge debt and after Robert disappears, the burden falls on her. The story sets a good pace right from the start and keeps you hooked. The history between Elizabeth and Ian is unraveled after the first couple of chapters and it gives you a complete sense of Elizabeth’s side of the story. She is discovered in Ian’s arms and her reputation is blown to pieces she has been hiding from the world at her home in Havenhurst ever since then. They are drawn to each other and Elizabeth especially is scared of her pull toward Ian. Elizabeth doesn’t need to play dumb or hide her opinions and concerns in front of him like she has been taught to do. From the first time Elizabeth and Ian meet, there is chemistry straight away. Ian Thornton is considered an outcast because he doesn’t have any title to his name. The story of the novel focuses on Elizabeth Cameron and Ian Thornton’s love story which is adventurous, passionate, and dramatic.Įlizabeth Cameron is introduced to London society and immediately is a hit among her peers.
