About this listen
"I didn't really understand what love was. I didn't know what it meant, that I should've fought harder for it."
Banished from home by her angry father, Julia Devon travels to Bath to fulfill her role as family spinster by assisting her cousin, Lady Macon, in caring for her dying husband.
Nathaniel Hastings's life runs in a predictable pattern, until a routine visit to one of his ailing patients brings him face to face with Julia, the woman who broke his heart five years before in London.
Julia and Nathaniel find themselves unlikely allies as they work together to tend to the family's needs, fend off Lady Macon's scheming brother-in-law, and avoid confronting the pain of their shared past. But could this accidental meeting be their second chance at love?

Nice yet empty
Sally’s stories, of which I’ve read many, are empty as this one, although this is better than most. Yes, they are clean. But every plot is boring and mundane, based on old lost loves reuniting but afraid to share their feelings—as the case with this book. Each has a weak plot followed by weak, simpering characters that could solve their problems by chapter 3 if they’d just talk to each other. This is unfortunately a case of such. The love story feels empty, because resolution comes in the last 5 or 10 minutes of the book, and while the love is believable, weak plot and weak characters that don’t have the gumption to speak their mind reign supreme in each of her novels, including this. It’s nice a clean read, but I believe a clean read can include a little more romance without compromising the clean factor. The fact characters can never speak their mind and resolve their problems, while living in total angst rather than talking is tiresome, because once again, one conversation could solve any of her books including this one, by chapter 3. If you want a clean read, Sally’s work is that. They’re entertaining for a book you read once, but not one you would ever go back to as a beloved story with beloved characters. Overall it’s a nice read, but it feels hollow and empty like you’ve missed the best part of the story somehow. Her work does not inspire readers to laughter or tears, and I think this is vital in any great novel. To move your readers to laugh and cry shows true investment in the characters, and there isn’t enough anything to inspire the reader to care, the hero or heroine dying would improve the story, by the mere fact of moving the reader to care. So I restate, clean, nice, insipid.

mispronunciations
First of all, the narrarator mispronounced physician, every single time, which really bugs me, but also, just as the other review says, these stories are clean but empty.
