Innocent on Her Wedding Night

Laine Sinclair has had a crush on Daniel Flynn, her brother Simon's friend, for years. Laine first met him when she was six years old, when her brother brought Daniel to the family home, Abbotsbrook, over the summer holidays. Daniel has been her friend, and protector, ever since. Years later, when she's seventeen, her brother dies in a climbing accident. Laine's selfish mother takes her out of the school she loves so she can stay at home, at Abbotsbrook, and take care of the household chores (since the maid got dismissed). The family is supposedly low on money now that brother Simon isn't there to help out anymore. When Daniel visits, he is surprised to find that Laine has suddenly left school, and is now doing the chores. After he show more realizes what's going on he eventually proposes to her. They marry, but the evil "other woman" tells Laine that Daniel married her only because of a promise he made to her brother before he died. Believing the other woman, Laine tells Daniel the marriage was a mistake, and they get an annulment. But, two years later, they meet again. Will the truth finally come out?

I really liked Daniel, I thought he was wonderful! I liked how he was kind to Laine when she was young. He recommended a school she would like, and visited her there, (to the envy of the other female students!) He always seemed to be there for her. Laine was a bit foolish for believing the other woman--she should've talked to Daniel and heard what he had to say. This wasn't a light romance, it sometimes had a sad, melancholy feel to it, and a lot of it was told in flashbacks. But I was always curious to see what was going to happen. This was an enjoyable and good read by Sara Craven. show less
