My thoughts-

Once I saw this book was available to review, I was pleased.  I had read the rest of the books in the series and enjoyed them, so I was sure I would enjoy this one.  I did. 

I would have appreciated a synopsis of the other books in the series.  It has been a while since I read them, so I need to be reminded about what happend in them, since they are linked.  There was a family tree, but it wasn’t enough for me.  I needed a list of the characters and how they related to each other.

I really liked the Kemsley’s.  Tessa, Matilda, and Benjamin were the perfect people to help Clara after the trouble she had left behind in London.  I was proud of the woman that Clara became.  She left London as a young lady who did everything her parents said to having a mind and determination of her own.  It also helped her parents realize who she was and how they also needed to change.

This was a great book in the series.  I always enjoy reading a romance novel that also draws on the strength of God.  I’m looking forward to reading Carolyn Miller’s next book, Winning Miss Winthrop, the first book in the Regency Brides: A Promis of Hope series.

I recommend it!
