Well.. I have simmered on this book for over a week now. I love Elizabeth James and in Secrets of A Hart, she did not disappoint.
I started this book around 8pm and could not stop. I finished it around 7am lol.. I instantly fell in love with Kendall. She is broken and bruised. She just wants her happily ever after.
Tristan comes back to town to help with his ailing father. He had an instant attraction to Kendall.
"I was feeling a connection with her that I'd never felt before with anyone."~ Tristan
After enlisting the help of her best friend Averi, he was on a mission to make her see he was just a guy that deserved a chance. Kendall tried but she couldn't resist his charms after all, she had secretly loved him since the ninth grade. She always felt she was never good enough for the guy that had it all. But now she finds it hard to resist his charms.
"I was in awe of the skill with which he handled the bike and the way his biceps flexed every time he accelerated the bike." ~Kendall
