The politics of the day come into play with Harvey working for the British military, and society mingles into the dynamic as the French befriend the English diplomats and their company. Gabrielle thinks she has found the perfect escape from her domineering and abusive stepmother, but love is not cooperating, even with the assistance of Harvey. He gets involved with good intentions, and naturally his friendship turns to stronger feelings. The future seems impossible as Gabrielle digs herself in deeper, and it was entertaining to see how everything wove together to resolve with a satisfying happy ending.

Hockey romance + modern day marriage of convenience? Yes please!

Eli needs a quick fix to be able to stay in the country and continue his hockey season, and Bailey is animal shelter worker who is alone in the world except for her grandmother suffering from dementia who needs better care. I really feel like they would have ended up together anyway but the unusual circumstances accelerated their relationship. Nothing like proximity, sacrifice, and commitment mixed with complicated dynamics for amazing chemistry and romantic tension! Eli is such a light in Bailey's world, and I love how they care for each other and show it in their actions. Such a great falling-in-love story with a perfect balance of depth and humor! I'm loving the Appies players and hope the authors keep writing their stories.
