A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

A Lady at Willowgrove Hall (Whispers on the Moors #3) - Sarah E. Ladd

A Lady at Willowgrove Hall is the third book in the Whispers on the Moors series.  The first two books, The Heiress ofWinterwood and The Headmistress of Rosemere were good books that I enjoyed.  I looked forward to this book as well.

Cecily has fallen in love with the wrong man.  He’s the son of a nobleman and she’s just the blacksmith’s daughter.  When her father finds out about the affair, he takes her to a boarding school and leaves her there.  After five years, Cecily has no idea where her father or her twin sister is.  She takes the position of companion to an ill older woman and hopes that she’ll eventually be able to locate her sister.

Nathaniel is the steward of Willowgrove Hall and does his best.  Nothing is good enough for the lady of the house and he longs for the day when he can come into his inheritance and leave Willowgrove and his past behind him.  When he finds Cecily wandering the land in the rain, he isn’t sure what to make of her.  Finding out she’s to be the new companion to the mistress of the house, he vows to keep his distance.  His heart doesn’t agree.

These two think the best course is to keep their secrets buried.  No one will accept them if they knew the truth, would they?  As they get closer, they’re going to have to make peace with the past if they want to be together.

This was a good book, but it isn’t my favorite of the series.  It doesn’t have much that ties it to the other books in the series, making it okay to read them alone or out of order.  I’m curious to see more from this author.  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
