Every once in a while, I see a book that I myself wouldn't mind reading. This is one of those. The cover is gorgeous, and I'm interested in the Great Exhibition. I've actually been struggling my way through a biography on Prince Albert (I struggle because nonfiction is hard for me to get through), and found the Great Exhibition to be one of the more interesting parts of his life.
I'd thought this was the first book I'd read by this author, but looking back, I was wrong. I started this blog a little over 6 years ago, and shortly after that, I posted a review on Ransome's Crossing. I didn't like that book, but apparently I'd also read Ransome's Honor and enjoyed it.
The first book in the series is Follow the Heart. I recognized the names of the characters, but this definitely wasn't their story. It's okay to read these separately, although you will learn more about Kate and what happens to her by reading this one.
Caddy has the attention of two men: the tall, secretive doctor and the confident gentleman. Neal is hiding something from her, but Caddy is drawn to his heart and has the patience to wait for him to trust her. She's wary of the attentions of Oliver, and she has every reason to be. He's a cad and trying to gain her attention to win a bet.
It's clear who the reader is supposed to be rooting for from the beginning, so there isn't really any suspense about what's going to happen. My main complaint is that the end was so abrupt. Things just kind of ended, and when I looked, I was sad to see there weren't more books in the series.
On to the good. I liked most of the characters and liked the way things turned out. Even though it was predictable, I didn't mind it as much as I thought I would. This was a sweet, clean romance that I enjoyed. I picked up the first one, since I'd like to read more from this author. Good Book!
