Her cousin owns a cleaning business and calls her to give her a chance for a regular cleaning job for the lord of the local manor. When she arrives the first day she sees the aftermath of one of the weekend parties that are talked about in the village. After introducing herself to Nicolas Blunt, she finds out that she will be cleaning only his private rooms.

Nicolas is emotionally as well as physically damaged after a car accident took the life of his wife the year before. He has a reputation of being very closed off and hostile, which Holly finds out is true to some degree. They soon find that they are attracted to each other, but they both have emotioal issues which may be too difficult for them to overcome. They will have to learn to let themselves love each other. This is a wonderful romance with a lot of ups and downs, and I loved it!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.

Damage Dick Francis's Damage Hardcover

Good fun, a fast pace, and genuinely unputdownable. The 50th Francis book is both an homage to the father and a tribute to the son's great writing talent. What an incredible book. The main storyline, which delves deep into the world of the British Horseracing Authority, could have stumbled into the realm of boring under another author's reins, but not so here. Even the internal politics and board meetings are suspenseful and move the story along at a nice, crisp pace. Like every Francis book, the story simply flows. And so much action! No less than four sub-stories ride along with the main plot, all interesting and not always easy to address, and the author handles each one with great sympathy and sensitivity. (I'd say more but it would be a spoiler.) Felix Francis again demonstrates a true, empathetic understanding of what motivates people to act as they do. I rather liked being inside Jeff Hinkley's head as he thinks through his personal relationship while thinking his way through to the ultimate villainous conclusion. As an added bit of fun, long-time Dick and Felix Francis readers should watch for a little inside baseball humor in a conversation Jeff has with his colleague Crispin about watching out for all the possible things that can go wrong at a race meet.
Felix Francis continues to surpass himself with each book which makes it hard to pick a favorite, but this is certainly on the short list and one I already look forward to reading again. Like I do all Francis books. A bit earthier than I am used to with this author, some welcome humor, compassion, interesting bits of trivia and history woven throughout, and a heck of a yarn to boot. As my British friends have taught me to say, I'm chuffed! The 50th book is a splendid addition to the Francis library, and my own. Bravo, Felix.
