"...the characters are well rounded and grow...The authors are well matched, each bringing her individual styles to the book." -- Patsy Glans, Romantic Times Book Reviews

Product Description
The family money has brought her everything she desires, but she is about to risk it all...

Sophie Broadmoor adores fancy balls, beautiful gowns, and expensive jewelry. Indeed, she enjoys everything the Broadmoor wealth provides and has earned a reputation as the wildest of the Broadmoor cousins.

During a trip to England, she falls head over heels for Wesley Hedrick, a wealthy widower who promises her the world. But Wesley's promises never seem to come true, and soon Sophie finds herself in a very compromising situation.

Why does it have to be Paul Medford, the young minister working with her father, who shows up during her worst moment? Paul is full of promises, too--and it's clear that he has feelings for Sophie. But after all she's been through, dare she trust him?

This review is from: An Unexpected Love (Broadmoor Legacy, Book 2) (Paperback)

I loved this book...can't wait for the third and final book to come out. Sad that it'll be almost a year before I get to read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars what an excellent sequel, September 17, 2008

By	Kimberly - See all my reviews

This review is from: An Unexpected Love (Broadmoor Legacy, Book 2) (Paperback)

"An Unexpected Love" is the 2nd book in the Broadmoor Legacy series by Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller. And I found this sequel to be somewhat more enjoyable then the first book--"A Daughter's Inheritance". I read the book in 2 days. But most of that had to do with the fact that I didn't have power for 3 days and had nothing better to do with my time. :)

Cousins Sophie, Fanny, and Amanada Broadmoor are sent to England by Amanda's father Jonas Broadmoor. He was hoping to marry Fanny off while they were in England so he could gain control of her money. However while in England, Sophie meets and falls heads over heels in love with Wesley Hedrick--a wealthy widow. Wesley promises the world and what not to Sophie but she soons discovers his promises to be nothing but empty and finds herself in a very compromising situation. Enter Paul Medford, the man who works with her father at the Home for the Friendless. He offers Sophie an arrangement that could benefit them both. He obviously has genuine feelings for her but can Sophie learn to love again after suffering such heartbreak and sorrow?

I really enjoyed Sophie's side of the Broadmoor story. We see a dramatic change in her character from the first book to this book's end. And what a heartfelt change it is. I also enjoyed reading tidbits about Fanny and her situation with Michael. I was hoping he would return in this book but I suppose it shall happen in the next. We also get to know Amanda a bit more and someone new enters her life. I also really liked how the book didn't dwell much on Uncle Jonas trying to scheme his way into controlling Fanny's money. Yes the beginning had its share with Daniel Irwin, the boy Jonas sent to England with the Broadmoor girls. However it was nice to see that once Fanny turned 18 it died down a little. And getting to know more about Paul Medford's character was enjoyable. He was portrayed as an annoying busy-body person in the first book but in this book we see he truly loves Sophie and is a man of compassion and kindness.

Overall I really enjoyed the book and was glad to see the 2nd book improve upon the first. I really look forward to the 3rd book. I'm hoping along with Amanda's story, we learn more about Sophie and Paul's married life and see Fanny and Michael get their happily ever after. Too bad the 3rd book's not out till summer 2009.
