This book definitely picks up right where the last one left off. Cora is on her grand tour, but she's not free of the kidnappers who tried to abduct her in Paris. They seem to follow her from place to place and seem willing to stop at nothing to get a hold of her.
Will can't deny that he's falling in love with Cora, but he doesn't feel he'll ever be worthy of her. She's so far above him and everyone seems more than willing to point that out. While he wants to be the man Cora needs, he's afraid he'll never achieve that dream.
This book was full of great descriptions of the places these people visit, but there were times I felt the story got a little lost and the book read more like a travel guide. I've personally never been to any of these places, so reading about them made me a little jealous. The action picks up more in the second half of the book and we're left with another cliffhanger. My recommendation is to read these in order and have a short gap between reading them. Even though the author does a nice job bringing you up to speed, I definitely felt a little lost at times. A year and a half is too long!
Fortunately, I have the third book in the series, Glittering Promises, waiting for me on my Kindle. I made a promise to myself to get it read in the near future. We'll see how that goes. Don't let the scowling man on the cover dissuade you from reading this book. Just make sure you have the time and dedication to devote to the whole series - otherwise you'll never find out what happens in the end! Good Book!
