My first Regnecy Romance for the year and I loved it. I read it really fast and enjoyed every bit of it!  This new book by Chalon Linton, An Inconvenient Romance, is a sweet, clean love story about Leah and Charles. Childhood friends in 1811.  It was a fast read and I love how the book flowed.  

An Inconvenient Romance by Chalon Linton

Synopsis

The countryside of England provided an idyllic backdrop for Charles Brumley’s and Leah Hastings’s childhood. Neighbors and best friends, the pair passed many happy days racing through the rolling hills of Derbyshire. Everything was perfect—until Charles ruined it all and abandoned Leah for university.

Six years later, the former friends are thrust into each other’s paths once more. Leah had been looking forward to the ball, an opportunity to further her acquaintance with the handsome Mr. Wilkins— but when she sees Charles’s familiar face through the crowd, her traitorous heart leaps. Charles faces his own struggle: he has loved Leah since he was fifteen years old, yet it seems he is too late—it appears that her affections are otherwise engaged. As the pair tentatively renews their friendship, the spark between them is undeniable. After so many years apart, Leah endeavors to reconcile her feelings toward her once cherished companion. But when a conniving rival for Charles’s attention approaches Leah, the threat is clear: give up her association with Charles, or a devastating secret about her family will be revealed. Faced with an impossible decision, Leah must make a choice— the ruin of her family or the ruin of her heart?

My Review-

I loved how this book was written. Each chapter goes back and forth between the two main characters. It will describe a situation that happaned and then it will go to the next chapter and explain how the other pesron felt and build upon it with the other characters point of view.  It really helped me see how both of the main charters felt and their emotions thoughout the story.  

Part of the book I wished Leah would just talk to those she loved about what was going on and why she wasn’t letting herself fall in love, but I also understand the threats and the fear that she felt during that time. The story is a sweet, clean and quick read for anyone that loves the regency time period!  I loved this book and give it 4 STARS!!
