Isabella Grayson is the oldest daughter of a wealthy, English newspaper
mogul who wishes to be like her father. Her parents believe that
Isabella shows
focus on marriage prospects than following her dreams of becoming a
journalist. Ever persistent, she pens an anonymous letter to her
father's newspaper that impresses her father and fuels her dreams of
writing. Her father reluctantly agrees that she can write a series of
article on aviation, but on the condition she must accept a marriage proposal within the year.
When the aspiring aviator, James Drake crashes his plane near the family's home, Isabella is smitten. She wants James to fulfill his dream of being the first to fly across the Channel and win prize. However, the closer the pair works together they discover they both have a dark secret. Will the duo be able to forgive each other and find happiness together? Will James succeed in being the first to fly over the Channel?
The Edwardian novel was an interesting and fun read. I love how the author wove in the mystery of Drake's father along with his desire to fly. My favorite parts were the family dynamics of the Professor and James. I think the author did a great job showing how family can both be people who are blood related or people who become family through a common desire. I thought the romance dynamic between Isabella and James was endearing and not annoying and back and forth like it sometimes happens in other romance novels. They both know they let each other down, but they worked together to put the past behind them and work towards a future together. A great read and I can't wait to read other works by the author.
