"Someone to Remember"

It's never too late to fall in love in this enchanting new novella in the Westcott series from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.

Matilda Westcott has spent her life tending to the needs of her mother, the Dowager Countess of Riverdale, never questioning the life of solitude she has spun for herself. To Matilda, who considers herself the aging spinster daughter, marriage is laughable--love is a game for the young, after all. But her modest, quiet life of order unravels when a dashing gentleman from her past reappears, threatening to charm his way into her heart yet again.

Charles Sawyer, Viscount Dirkson, does not expect to see Matilda Westcott thirty-six years after their failed romance. Moreover, he does not expect decades-old feelings to emerge at the very sight of her. When encountering Matilda at a dinner hosted by the Earl of Riverdale, he finds himself as fascinated by her as he was the first day they met, and wonders if, after all these years, they have a chance at happiness together. Charles is determined to crack the hard exterior Matilda has built for over three decades or risk losing her once again.

My Thoughts...

I've read a book or two by this author, however, when I bought this book I didn't realize it was the latest  book she has written in a series. Even though it is a stand alone book, I probably would have liked it better if I had read the other books in the series. 

 Something that I didn't like...was the story was 149 pages, in a book with 244 pages. From page 151 to 244 was excerpts from the six novels in the series already published. 
The Author wrote at the beginning of the book the reason for the excerpts was because it may entice you to read the other six novels, and if you have already read them, maybe you will go back and reread them. Excerpts are something I never read. If I enjoyed the novel I just read I will go get the next in the series on my own. Otherwise, just leave the excerpts out of my books....3 stars for this novella.
