“If you would take one step forward, darling, you could cry in my arms. And while you do, I'll tell you how sorry I am for everything I've done -" Unable to wait, Ian caught her, pulling her tightly against him. "And when I'm finished," he whispered hoarsely as she wrapped her arms around him and wept brokenly, "you can help me find a way to forgive myself."
Tortured by her tears, he clasped her tighter and rubbed his jaw against her temple, his voice a ravaged whisper: "I'm sorry," he told her. He cupped her face between his palms, tipping it up and gazing into her eyes, his thumbs moving over her wet cheeks. "I'm sorry." Slowly, he bent his head, covering her mouth with his. "I'm so damned sorry.”

“Because,” he said quietly as she stood up, “until you walked into it, this was an ordinary garden.”
Puzzled, Elizabeth tipped her head. “What is it now?”
“Heaven.”

Fingers crossed that you'll enjoy reading them!
Then why the 4 stars ??
Sequels series are my favourite from JM but in this book she just overdone it. The episode with the disappearance/murder/trial was totally unnecessary and unbelievable IMO. When I re read it I always skip that part.
I also liked this book and the Sequels series.
@Olnega, that's my least favorite part of the book, too. Completely unnecessary and I skip those chapters with the brother, too. I also don't care for the first few chapters where she goes to those two suitors' homes. During this reread, I realized how long and tedious Ian and Elizabeth's betrothal was, and due to this, the book has lost a star. :(
