Book Overview

Craig Cavanaugh opened his briefcase and drew out the folder containing the manuscript. It was getting dark when he finished reading. No question, he thought, Kitty Traherne can write. Her face came back into his mind. He saw the pain in her eyes, heard the urgency in her voice, as he recalled the passion with which she had told him her reason for writing this highly controversial book. A slight flush had swept over her pale face as she said, "I think...

Second chances at love

Daring Bride picks up the stories of several Cameron/Montrose females from the earlier books. Kitty has a hard time forgetting the horrors she saw in the Great War and the love of her life whom she lost as a direct result of that War. Her bitterness creates a deep chasm between her and twin sister Cara that lasts for many years. In a cathartic measure, Kitty writes a book about the devastation of the Great War and meets a loving, caring book editor in the process. Could this be her second chance at love? Likewise, Evalee has lost her own great love and returns to Virginia widowed and penniless with a young daughter to raise. As she builds a business from the ground up, Evalee meets two men who love her and want her to spend their lives with them, one for whom money is no object and one for whom a love of books and teaching children is his main objective. Can one of these men be Evalee's second chance? Finally, Bryanne goes to Italy at the expense of her grandmother Garnet to get over losing her first love in a fatal accident. Will Bryanne, too, finally meet someone and get another chance at love? This is a great entry in the Montclair series, and my only criticism is that Peart needs to put a family tree in each book to keep me straight on the rather complicated family relationships.
