Really good book if not predictable great characters and travelling on the Orient Express would have been wonderful.
Two broken hearts, sworn off love, thrown together on a tour
Gigi has sworn off romance and love after numerous disappointments and has begun to find fulfillment designing and sewing dresses, much to her mother’s dismay. Now her aunt, Rowena, has asked her to accompany her on a tour aboard the Orient Express. The chance to see the sights and art of some of Europe’s great cities can’t be refused. The first day, Gigi is introduced to Professor Haskins, the guide for the tour and a handsome, single man of Gigi’s age. However, Professor Haskins has had his own disappointments with a broken engagement in his past and is now a confirmed bachelor. As the tour progresses, Gigi and Clyde (Haskins) are thrown together as the small group travels. Both begin to wonder if perhaps their disappointments could be put in the past. A revelation of past uninvited interventions, current matchmaking, and an unexpected ending to the tour leave both Gigi and Clyde unsure of the future and what it could hold. An excellent book. I highly recommend it. I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this sweet story. I would definitely give it 4.5 stars. Professor Clyde Haskins is smart, funny, and handsome. Who couldn't help falling for this bachelor? I also loved Georgina and her growth from beginning to end. She really grew in confidence as a character and I loved being along for the journey. She is such a thoughtful, compassionate woman. Aunt Rowena is also a great character. I was thinking she was going to be a stuffy aunt, but I loved seeing Rowena and Gigi grow together through the trials they face.
The only thing I didn't like was toward the end with GiGi and Clyde's misunderstanding. I felt like it was a little out of character for Georgina to not even listen to him or read his letters and I also felt like I was tricked almost as a reader which I don't like. But I felt the rest of the story was fun and cute. #netgalley #untilvienna
