Although this installment was not as exciting as the first, it was still a good read. Gabriel and Scarlett’s relationship was the highlight of House of Scarlett. Their intense chemistry sizzled and burned. Despite their differences in social standing, they were perfect for each other.
It was evident from the beginning that Gabriel had a good heart, but it was in this installment that his kind, caring and protective nature shone. He had a hard life growing up, but he was determined not to allow his harsh upbringing to prevent him from achieving his dream. However, events from his past, which had the potential to destroy his future, refused to stay buried.
Scarlett has her share of issues. I felt her pain and my heart hurt for her. I could not relate to her pain, as I never had that experience, but I knew it must have been hard. Her strength during it all was admirable. It helped that she had her friends’ support.
The story had me pins on needles, as I knew that a bombshell was imminent and being familiar with the author’s work, I expected it to occur at the end. What I did not know was how it would unfold. She did not disappoint and now I am champing at the bit once again, as I need to know how Gabriel plans to get Scarlett and himself out of this precarious position.
Conclusion / Recommendation
Once again, Meghan March delivered an engaging story that left me waiting with bated breath for the final installment.
