Book one-eight-five: My False Heart

My False Heart (1999)
Liz Carlyle

Rating: 2/5

I’m not sure if I was half asleep when I read this or what, but for most of the time I had no clue what was going on. The stuff with the main characters in it made perfect sense, but the other bits… I couldn’t even keep the other characters straight.

Isolated from society by choice, the beautiful Flemish refugee has fled her homeland in search of a secure haven for the children in her family. Essex seems a perfectly safe place to hide, until one rainy night when a dark stranger enters her home, her life, and eventually, her heart...
