Scars aren't always on the outside

The Viscount’s Veiled Lady (Whitby Weddings, Book 3) - Jenni Fletcher

Frances Webster lives with her parents and her sister who is almost out of her first year of mourning. Frances herself is scarred from an accident and has resigned herself to being a widow, hiding herself under a veil. When her sister dispatches her to beg Arthur Amberton to meet with her; she goes, reluctantly. There she finds a man changed by hard living and trying to overcome a minor mental breakdown he had. The two of them find a friendship, but her sister was engaged to him and she can't help wonder if there's still something there. He's not sure that he could be a good husband, his emotional scars run deep. They're both helped by his brother and his brother's wife.

It all starts very well and the story of two people, one scarred externally and one internally kept me reading and then somewhere half way through it seemed to lose it's direction a little over half way through and it just seemed to be throwing more obstacles that seemed to come out of nowhere really. I liked how he restored her confidence and treated her so well. 

Good story, pacing could do with work.
