kenjariA Daring Pursuit
by Kate Bateman
This historical romance concerns Carys Davies, a young woman who is mildly scandalous for her daring outfits and bold ways. She is, however, hiding a more scandalous incident in her past, one that could be ruinous. Because of this, she has been avoiding marriage. Tristan Montgomery is Carys' neighbor and childhood friend. They have been sparring and sniping at each other their whole lives. When he accepts her mocking challenge to show her what she is missing by avoiding marriage, Tristan and Carys discover that their feelings for each other are much more passionate and deeper than they had realized.
This one was fun and fairly light on the conflict. The sparring and banter was fun. There's a bit of an intrigue plot in place of a third act break-up that brought tension and crisis to the plot without being too emotionally wrenching.
