What a Woman Desires edition by Rachel Brimble Romance eBooks Reviews
This book was frustratingly slow to come to the ultimate conclusion. The main person was elusive and difficult to understand. The sister was equally secretive. Not enough information to keep it interesting. I don't recommend this book, not up to the authors standard.
Poor writing, dull story

Her parents thinks her life is scandalous and does not want anything to do with her and her new lifestyle.
When her father suddenly dies, her younger sister writes to her to come home since she is tired dealing with the burden of taking care of her mother whose health has been steadily declining. So she returns home to bury her father and hKopes to rush back to her life on the stage as she plans not to stage.
Thomas Ashby is a groom on the Danes Estate and is still in love with her despite thinking she is just a spoiled girl who ran off. When the meet again, they still find themselves wanting each other. But he does not want to move as he loves the area and being near his family.
When her father’s will is read leaving her the estate, her mom with enough money , and the sister his place in Bath while she would rather stay in the small town. Monica finds herself looking for a solution to make everyone happy including herself and knowing that she cannot stay since she is still in love with Thomas and he is not willing to have anything more with her because of the difference in position.
Will they be able to have a future or will she end up marrying someone else in name only to go back to her other love?
Oh the second chance romance we all have someone that will always be in the ‘what if’ pile, and Rachel Brimble gives us a lovely look at Monica’s chance to get her answers. In a lovely twist that isn’t embroiled in the Tonne and the social atrophy of that set, this Victorian era story has lots of elements to make it unique.
Monica is the eldest daughter, and while she longs for a life more exciting than her small village of Biddlestone, she doesn’t act on those feelings until a potential husband is presented to her. Refusing the husband, Monica alights for Bath, a coastal city far different from her home village, to start her life anew. Five years of toil and she is the undisputed queen of the theatre community wealthy, independent and unwilling to answer to anyone she has the life she dreamed of. But, her years estranged from her family did not make her untraceable, and she receives a letter telling of her father’s passing and her mother’s ill health. Monica decides to return to her childhood home for his funeral.
I found her a bit selfish and perhaps more ‘forward’ than a woman of her time would have been, but in her defense, she also had a very narrow view of the world as a whole, despite her time alone fending for herself. The class structure of the time was rigidly defined, but starting to change, and her confusion in this absolutist thinking when she herself had overthrown the expectations showed most clearly in her concern for the estate’s tenants and what would happen to them should the estate fail. And in her feelings and reservations about Thomas.
Thomas has grown up on the estate – and always had a crush on Monica. One that he thought returned for much of his young years. I had a few problems with Thomas, while I appreciated his loyalty to his own family, the estate and even to Monica, his temper and lack of restraint on his many passions felt immature and made him less believable as THE match for Monica. But, they did circle about one another near endlessly for a long while there These two pined away and circled about the very obvious attraction and feelings, sometimes with a near callous disregard for one another’s feelings, and then suddenly Thomas asserting that he wouldn’t hold her back from her dreams or desires.
Fortunately, we do move on from that, and they both seem to come to their senses, and a lovely romance is in the offing. These two are SO very stubborn that a visit from someone to bash their heads together for sense would not have gone amiss, but when they got it, it was lovely.
Little moments are left to wonder about Monica’s sister has her own infatuation with someone who remains nameless, and there wasn’t a clear picture of Monica’s mother and what eventually happened with her, but this was a fun story that kept me engaged and enjoying every moment.
I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review all conclusions are my own responsibility.
...who found the thoughts of the hero and heroine, not to mention the dialogue between them, to be repetitive and boring?! So there is a class difference. Got that the first time it was thought about and or discussed. (That subject has been done by better authors.) Notwithstanding her back story (the author could have covered that more thoroughly), the heroine reminded me of a selfish, spoiled, ill-tempered teenager who demanded her way through the entire book ... until the very end when everything pretty much instantly resolved. Huh? And the abrupt ending.
I have completely lost confidence in relying on reviews from other people when choosing books to read from , especially when it's written by an author I have never read before.
Good book! Enjoyed it a lot!
This book pulled at my heart strings. I think I felt so many different emotions as I read it. I never saw the ending to this book until the last chapter. I really enjoyed reading this and recommend it. It is a historical romance yet so many issues in this book are current.
