The Arrangement by Mary Balogh
|
Summary: A mesmerizing story
of passionate awakening and redemption, Mary Balogh’s new novel unites a war
hero consigned to darkness with a remarkable woman who finds her own salvation
by showing him the light of love.
Desperate to escape
his mother’s matchmaking, Vincent Hunt, Viscount Darleigh, flees to a remote
country village. But even there, another marital trap is sprung. So when Miss
Sophia Fry’s intervention on his behalf finds her unceremoniously booted from her
guardian’s home, Vincent is compelled to act. He may have been blinded in
battle, but he can see a solution to both their problems: marriage.
At first, quiet, unassuming Sophia rejects Vincent’s proposal. But when such a
gloriously handsome man persuades her that he needs a wife of his own choosing
as much as she needs protection from destitution, she agrees. Her alternative
is too dreadful to contemplate. But how can an all-consuming fire burn from
such a cold arrangement? As friendship and camaraderie lead to sweet seduction
and erotic pleasure, dare they believe a bargain born of desperation might lead
them both to a love destined to be?

Comments: The Arrangement is
a story about finding freedom and love. By marrying, Vincent finds freedom from
his over-caring family. Throughout the story, Vincent struggles with
his blindness, but fortunately Sophia has all kinds of ideas to help Vincent. I
enjoyed reading how Vincent adjusts to his blindness. It is also a story of
Sophia learning to trust herself and others. The two characters help each other
grow throughout the story.
