I dithered between two and three stars for this book, finally ending up on three because it's Mary Balogh. It is one of her earlier books which is finally what swayed me.
Rebecca was dumped by Christopher who opted for a wealthy wife. Years later he returns to find her engaged to the local vicar. It's a frustrating story because pretty much everyone is not a very nice person. Some of the reasons may have good excuses, but in the end, they all pretty much deserved their fates. It was still an interesting story as it provided me with a lot of thoughts about others ways they might act in their situations. ( )
