THE IMPERFECT PROPOSAL - The English Gent #4 - by Annie Dyer (Thea and Shea)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Being caught in a cupboard in a compromising position with my latest hook up by my new colleague isn’t a great introduction.

The worse thing, that new colleague - she’s my estranged wife who’s been MIA for more than a decade.

Throw in the fact that neither of our families knew we were married in the first place and it’s safe to say, events maybe aren’t going as smoothly as planned.

Thea and I married ten years ago in Vegas, the day we both qualified as doctors. I knew plenty about her: the way she kissed, how she liked her coffee and the best way to make her see stars.
What I didn’t know was that she was the daughter of a Lord, was ridiculously wealthy and she’d signed up to Doctors Without Borders.

The morning after our wedding, she was gone.

For a decade, all I’ve had are postcards, sent to wherever I’ve been working, with no return address. Those, and a heart that no matter how good a doctor I am, I just can’t fix.

Now Thea’s back in London.
And she wants to be back in my bed.

Our first proposal wasn’t perfect. Would the second lead to the same fate?

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is Thea and Shea's story and it's also book 4 in this series. Each book is supposed to stand alone and while you could read this story as a standalone, I encourage you to read "The Romance Rehearsal" first. In fact, I stopped reading this book and re-read that book so it could all be fresh in my mind because this book runs concurrent with that book and both Shea and Thea are major characters in that book as well as in this book.

This book was just absolutely awesome. At times I was frustrated because its also a very complicated situation and Shea is the wronged party and he really made her pay for her mistakes and does not forgive easily. 

Thea and Shea have been married for ten years. But they have not seen each other until now. It's very much a reversal in that Shea is the wronged partner in this story and Thea did the runway bride thing but after the wedding and wedding night. She did mail him postcards, but they have not talked since their wedding night. That is until she ends up back in London. 

The ties between Thea and Shea are very complicated and I loved that author explored that. In "Romance Rehearsal" we see Thea and Shea's siblings get their second chance but what no one knows is that 10 years before their siblings knew each other very well and married. Then they also both end up in London and work in the same specialty and also the same hospital. It makes for an extremely complicated second chance.

Shea has a lot of anger for how Thea treated him, and I loved how honest he is with her about his feelings and thoughts. My heart broke for these two as they had a really hard road to finding their happily ever after. This is a wonderful story about second chances, love, family, and forgiveness and its one of my top reads this year.
