This review is from: Ordinary Girl, Society Groom (Harlequin Romance Large Print) (Mass Market Paperback)
Ordinary Girl, Society Groom by Natasha Oakley
Harlequin Romance # 3894 - May 2006 4 Stars! ~ For the first 21 years of Eloise Lawton's life, it had only been her and her mom. She got the call while at university that her mother was killed in an auto accident. Not able to cope with her loss, Eloise had put her mother's possessions into storage, and then she set out to make a name for herself as a fashion journalist. Now after six years, Eloise is ready to deal with things and she rediscovers the letter that names who her father is, the man who had rejected her mother because he was already married. Feeling very bitter, Eloise writes to him and asks if he wishes to meet his other daughter. She wants more than anything to tell him exactly how hard her mother's life had been, while he and his "real" family had carried on with their life of privilege. Jem Norland isn't sure what Eloise wants, but her claim is preposterous. His stepfather is an honourable man and would never have cheated on his first wife, let alone abandon his child, and his child's mother. But when he confronts Eloise, he realizes there's a world of hurt in her and that she actually believes her mother's letter. He's conflicted by his loyalty to his stepfather and his growing need to protect Eloise. This is one of those emotional love stories that pulls hard on the strings of the heart. Though Eloise is at first consumed with her own pain, she realizes that in writing to her father, she's brought immense pain to his family. She's an amazing heroine and one easy to route for. Jem is a strong hero, who wants more than anything to shield those he loves from being hurt. That Eloise falls in that category takes him by surprise. There are alot of emotional twists and turns to this story that make the HEA hard won but wonderfully satisfying
