Daniel's True Desire (True Gentlemen, #2)
Grace Burrowes
An Honorable Life Daniel Banks is a man of the cloth whose vocation is the last comfort he has left-and even his churchman's collar is beginning to feel like a noose. At the urging of family, Daniel attempts to start his life over as vicar in the sleepy Kentish town of Haddondale, family seat to the earls of Bellefonte. Challenged by Passion Resigned to spinsterhood, Lady Kirsten Haddonfield welcomes the new vicar to stay at her family's home while his is under renovation. Suddenly the handsome visitor has Kirsten rethinking her ideas about love and marriage, but a dreadful secret from Daniel's past may cast a shadow too long for either of them to overcome.

This was a very different type of historical romance. The first half of the book was a page-turner. I couldn't figure out how the author was going to pull her characters out of the situation to reach the happily ever after!
However, parts of this book dragged. It did seem too long, as another reviewer mentioned, there were extra plots that seemed to have no real purpose (until the end), and the relationship between the wife and cousin just didn't make sense..
Still, the author should be commended for providing a creative and unique plot and characters, which leaves readers guessing until the end.
