A Gift to Remember by Melissa Hill

This was an intriguing story, that begins with a cyclist running down a pedestrian on a busy New York Street. What follows is a rather one sided romance to begin with as Darcy, the cyclist tries to piece together the details of Aiden’s life with very few clues to go on. There is the added complication of taking care of Bailey, a rather large husky dog! We explore several parks, shopping areas and the cream of Manhattan high society with Darcy.
One of the lovely things about the book is the blossoming friendship between Darcy and her neighbour, who Darcy has previously dismissed as cranky and unfriendly, instead they find mutual interests and Grace begins to move on with her life! Throughout there are lots of book references and Darcy delights in the regency romances that fill the shelves of the book shop she works at. There are lots of colourful characters and we find out about Aiden more through Darcy and her meetings with people who know him and what they have to say about him than anything.
There are many twists and turns and the ending for me was a surprise which was refreshing as well. i enjoyed this book and wanted to keep reading so definitely a page turner.
