it was amazing
bookshelves: virgin-heroine, emotion-grabber, excellent-epilogue, excellent-plot, family, hero-rich, some-angst
Read 3 times. Last read August 24, 2022 to August 27, 2022.

Reread. Sweet, funny and emotional. Trademark of JM.



Absolutely one of the most emotionally satisfying endings and epilogue in a historical romance (for me anyway).

I wish there where more books/authors that gave as much detail, closure, emotion to the ending of a love story's like JM.

Loved Ian and Elizabeth and their love story, so touching, moving, sad, affecting and poignant!!!!

Quotes Esther Liked

Judith McNaught
“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.”
Judith McNaught, Almost Heaven

Mariannj I loved Ian so much. Loved him and Elizabeth though I didn’t find her as compelling and endearing as Alexandra was in Something Wonderful. Oh the Townsendes being related to both Ian and Elizabeth made me 😍. It was so good to see them appear in the book. Anyways, I definitely agree with you. JM knows how to give as much “detail, closure, emotion to a love story’s ending”. She’s a superb story teller. Something Wonderful and Almost Heaven are my absolute faves. ❤️❤️


Esther Wasn't his just a beautiful and emotional romance. And the ending was beautiful, totally great. Also one of my favorite. 😊

Mtve41 Sweet review Esther. I’m re-reading JM these days as well (thanks for her books showing up
In my feed). I recall Almost Heaven as one of my favorites too but haven’t re-read it in several years. Will have to see how I feel about it now. Thanks for the reminder of these sweet memories.


Vashti I love this author!


Jena You’re making me want to bing on JM books again. 😂

Lynsey A Great review, Esther! Man, can she write. So sad she hardly writes any longer and then only contemporaries. I love her historical books. She is a favorite author.

Thank you Lynsey. And definitely top romance author in my book and I miss her historical's so much.

Ivy H This is my favourite historical romance novel ever and I've read it so often that I can't keep track 😂. I wish today's authors would write stories that are half as good as this.

Great review, Esther! : )

Great review, Esth..."


I miss her so much Carmen, no one touches her or Julie Garwood in writing romances.

And thank you.
