Eric Westerly is broken. He has finally got himself out of rehab. But the more successful his superhero movie "Water Bear Man" became, the more of a fraud he felt he was. His family is a total mess. He just wanted to be left alone. To disguise himself, he put on a hideous scar (theatrical makeup) and took on a totally unpolished appearance and goes by "Wayne Easton" in a corner of London. Now nobody looked at him closely. Until a plant whisperer came along... // Sage chose an oddball career "plant psychologist" to be free of her overbearing rich family. She also wanted to help random people find happiness. And this scarred but handsome man in the cafe can sure use some happiness. And Sage is irresistible, even by a broken man like "Wayne". But will she run the other way, when she learned who he REALLY is? And what about him, when he learned who she is?
Interesting. I knew Eric's story had to come up right after the previous book, the Royal Heir, which involved Eric being a supporting character and inciting factor. And this is an interesting twist on "disguises" and secrets. In a way, this is an "ingenue meets recluse" story, albeit, VERY nicely polished. 4.5/5
