Book Review: Sea Glass and Fireflies by Kate Ellington

 

Blurb: 

Elsie Hayward moves into her uncle's seaside estate on what should have been her wedding day. All she wants is peace and quiet, and to escape the guilt that's haunted her since her betrothed was lost at sea.

Any hope of tranquility is dashed, however, when Charles Rockingham arrives in town. A lifetime ago they'd been best friends and almost more. If there's one person she can't hide her feelings from, it's him.

Charles hasn't received a letter from Elsie in over a year. He returns home hoping to recapture the deep bond they once shared, but shadows of the past stand between them.

One last secret must be revealed before they can find their way back to each other.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was a good read. Elsie lost her fiance, found a quiet place to grieve, and ran into her oldest best friend, Charles. Her emotions were up and down, guilt over some of her feelings regarding Gabriel, and realizing that she had always loved Charles. Misunderstandings and secrets pulled them apart before things were revealed. I appreciated Elsie's mourning, doubts, and love, and was glad that she came to her senses. Charles was so protective and caring, and then hurt when he thought that Elsie was pulling away from him. They belonged together, and I enjoyed their journey.

I received a copy through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
