BLURB:
Lizzie
York, a young paraplegic, has the chance to teach at a new school in Oldcastle.
On a quest for independence, and to live alone, out from her brother’s watchful
eye, she encounters discrimination from narrow-minded villagers. Toss into the
mix: a school employee who sets her heart racing, a home of her own, and work
she is passionate about.
Peter Barrington, a
London solicitor, invests in Bright Academy. Having experienced pain and loss
in his past, he became a workaholic. He now desires a quiet life in the
country. He meets Lizzie, is immediately smitten, but respects her need for
independence. As they work together, their mutual respect and love grows.
When someone hides in
the woods and photographs them, Peter does everything in his power to protect
Lizzie. But Lizzie is up for a fight. Will their love be strong enough to
overcome hatred, and intent to harm, so they can forge a future together?

EXCERPT
“I do apologize for the interruption, ladies.” He smiled at
Lina. “I need a document signed. From the county. This should be the last. And
I have a couple of things to go over with you.”
“Okay,” Lina said, chewing at the sweet in her mouth and
swallowing. “No problem.”
Lizzie tried hard to ignore the handsome man who caused her
stomach to flutter and her heart to pound. His deep baritone voice, smooth as
honey, trickled to places it had no business. She cleared her throat and
resisted the urge to clap her hands. “We need to get started.” The women had no
clue how much work was involved. She took a quick peek at Peter. He and Lina
could attend to business, but this project had to start right away. “In front
of you is a stack of yellow netting, a pair of pinking shears, green ribbon
and…wait for it, a dish of boiled sweets.”
In three long strides, Peter crossed the room and stood
beside her. He wasn’t an overly tall man, his body wiry but muscular. He picked
up a piece of the netting and rubbed it between long, tapered fingers, then
glanced about at the ribbons and sweets, his gaze turning thoughtful. “This is
amazing. The place looks like a factory. I might need photos.” He fished out
his phone.
“No. No pictures, please.” Lina swatted his arm. Lizzie
doubted she’d ever think a wise thought again as she inhaled the man’s
delicious scent: clean linen and citrus mixed with something spicy. She
swallowed hard, overcome by his nearness. The way the room lacked air. The way
his long, elegant fingers, lightly held the netting.

My Review
One Unforgettable Friday is the third installment from Robena Grant’s English Village series. It is, also, my first introduction to the series and the author. I enjoyed Lizzie’s story. She is a great character that shows how strong and beautiful a woman can be no matter the circumstances. She is someone I could really look up to. Her and Peter had to overcome quite a bit and I enjoyed seeing them grow throughout the book.
I give this story four stars.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100 percent my own honest opinion.
