Somewhere My Love by Beth Trissel
As a new summer tour guide at Foxleigh, a beautiful historic estate in Virginia, Julia Morrow is far from home. British and raised by extremely sheltering and strict parents, Julia is on her own for the first time. Almost from the moment she steps foot on the grounds of Foxleigh Julia feels as though she’s come home. Glimpses of scenes from two hundred years past flit through her brain and she can not shake the feeling that she knows this place.
Foxleigh was once home to Cole Wentworth. A former military man, Cole was all by officially engaged to an English girl, Julia Maury, Cole was murdered in his room after a sword fight with a misbehaving admirer of Miss Maury. Cole’s descendant, William (called Will) Wentworth is the spitting image of him and not thrilled about it. Even two hundred years after his death, Cole has quite the following and Will assumes Julia is one of them when he sees her reaction to meeting him.
It quickly becomes apparent to Julia that she somehow has the memories of the first Julia and she tries to convince Will that she’s not off her rocker. Will on the other hand, tries not to believe her even though she knows things that she shouldn’t and he experiences memories of his own of Cole and Julia. Intensely drawn together though, Will and Julia can not dismiss their instant and deep attraction to each other.
With an upcoming annual ball to be held at Foxleigh, events take a strange turn as they start to mirror the time before Cole’s death. Using Julia’s memories and those that Will reluctantly provides, they attempt to alter the course of things to avoid history from repeating itself.
I liked the premise of this story and it was very well written with very detailed characters. I figured out pretty early who the “bad guy” would be but there were enough twists to keep me wondering if I was right or not. Somewhere My Love is written in what I call English Romance. By English Romance I mean that it’s a proper speech, dress-for-dinner type of lifestyle where women retreat to their room to rest when upset and there is always at least one imperious type family member to be won over. The men are very gentlemanly even when fueled by passion.
