SYNOPSIS

After a most heartbreaking dissolution of her engagement to her unfaithful fiancé, Elise Sutherland leaves New York for a much-needed visit with her extended family. At her cousin Marni’s invitation to Toronto, Elise looks to find solace with both Marni and her favorite uncle. When Marni introduces Elise to Mr. Jarvis St Clair, a friend and business acquaintance, an unexpected challenge occurs. Although dashing, witty, and also from New York, Mr. St Clair elicits the worst in Elise, as she provokes unwanted responses in the man.

Just when Elise believes she will be relieved of the man’s company, an unforeseen issue arises, which has Marni asking her dear cousin to take her place working at Toronto’s Industrial Fair. The unfortunate catch is that Elise will have to work alongside the very man she despises. The forced proximity causes emotions to intensify, and conflicts arise between the two.

Through Elise’s vulnerable journey of self-discovery, she makes the acquaintance of a very spirited and enlightened woman — Miss Felicity Gervais. With Felicity’s wise, yet unconventional counsel, Elise ventures into a world undiscovered. As Elise learns to attune herself to intuition, she finds a route to her true self and her most heartfelt desires. A synchronistic journey of the spirit awakens Elise in her very soul and has her yearning for love again. Elise then finds herself in the presence of two new gentlemen of interest. But are these gentlemen worthy suitors, or will they only compound her troubles? Will Mr. Jarvis St Clair push Elise past her ability to cope?

REVIEW

This is the 3rd book in this series that I have read. Quite honestly, Fair Opposition is not on par with the first two books. I’m a bit uncomfortable with the way some of the characters had tarot card readings and premonitions (not attributed to hearing from the Holy Spirit). Also, in the latter chapters, the character Lawrence is sometimes referred to as Norman. It took me a few paragraphs to figure out it was the same character. My guess is there was a name change somewhere along the way but the “ctrl-f-change all” edit was not completed.

I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
