What is this book about?

Daphne Blakemoor was perfectly happy living in her own secluded world for twelve years. She had everything she needed–loved ones, a true home, and time to indulge her imagination. But when ownership of the estate where she works as a housekeeper passes on, and the new marquis has an undeniable connection to her past, everything she’s come to rely upon is threatened.

William, Marquis of Chemsford’s main goal in life is to be the exact opposite of his father. Starting a new life in the peace and quiet of the country sounds perfect until his housekeeper turns his life upside down.

They’ve spent their lives hiding from the past. Can they find the courage to face their deepest wounds and, perhaps, find a new path for the future together?

My review:

This story was a very sweet romance read, but what I loved more was the deep inspirational thread that ran through it. There is something deep within humanity that wants to be seen and loved. Daphne and William’s story addressed that need in a great way. The one drawback for me was that I couldn’t get into the story until about a quarter of the way in, however at that point it dared me to put the book down before the end. I couldn’t do it.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Deep inspirational thread

What I didn’t like about this book:

Slow start

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Deep inspirational theme, variety of good characters, and pleasing sweet romance. This is the second book in the series. While it can be read as a standalone story, I recommend reading the first book in order to fully appreciate Daphne’s background and the estate history.
