Lauren Ambrose has made a life for herself as a fledging artist, far from the ancient secrets and cobwebbed past of her family’s historic estate in Texas. Generations of the Ambrose women have suffered at the hands of a curse, and the last place Lauren wants to spend time is at the Ambrose Estate, among the tragedies of the past. But when her grandmother, matriarch of the Ambrose fortune, requires Lauren to attend an urgent business meeting, she reluctantly travels home.
Nick Matthews is ready for a battle. Lillian Ambrose, co-founder of Ambrose Oil, has agreed to hear his investment idea, but no one has ever successfully partnered with the business tycoon. When he arrives at Ambrose Estate, prepared with weeks of research, the last person he expects to meet is Lauren, a dynamic and captivating woman with a past full of secrets. As Nick gets to know Lauren, he discovers she is mostly perfect for him, except for one, major drawback . . . The curse that has the power to destroy everything between them.

My Review 🖤
There is some intrigue with the Ambrose curse that quietly looms over the Ambrose women, and a little drama with an ex did pique my interest, but even then I still felt like there was something missing. I love Heather B. Moore's writing, which is a big reason why I kept going, hoping that I would better engage with the plot and characters with time, and there were times I thought about calling it quits, but I'm glad I stayed the course, as the ending was happy and quite satisfying.
This was the only book that I've read in the series, and even though it can be read as a standalone, maybe if I'd read the first book in the series I would've better connected with the characters. I do plan on eventually reading the first one to see if my hypothesis is correct, but for now I am glad I stuck it out, but I'd be lying if I say I wasn't a little disappointed, as this was not "perfect" for me.
My Rating: ★★★
