What is this book about?
In the fallout of her deceased father’s financial ruin, Annabelle’s prospects are looking bleak. Her fiancé has called off their betrothal, and now she remains at the mercy of her controlling and often cruel brother. Annabelle soon faces the fact that her only hope for a better life is to do the unthinkable and run away to Fellsworth, where her estranged uncle serves as the school’s superintendent. Upon arrival, Annabelle learns that she must shed her life of high society and work for her wages for the first time.
Owen Locke is unswerving in his commitments. As a widower and father, he is fiercely protective of his only daughter. As an industrious gamekeeper, he is intent on keeping poachers at bay even though his ambition has always been to purchase land he can call his own. When a chance encounter introduces him to Annabelle Thorley, his steady life is shaken. For the first time since his wife’s death, Owen begins to consider a second chance at love.
As Owen and Annabelle grow closer, ominous forces threaten the peace they thought they’d found.
My review:
The sweet romance between Owen and Annabelle was a slow burn, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment they were together. From the very start, I admired Owen and his dedication to his employer, his daughter, and to Annabelle. He was her knight in shining armor on more than one occasion.
Annabelle was at the mercy of her selfish brother and his scheming, leaving her to take drastic measures and trust people she knew so little about. Her journey through betrayal to self-acceptance was inspiring.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Slow burning, sweet romance
What I didn’t like about this book:
Nothing
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes I would. Sweet romance, page turning mystery, looming danger, and good characters. This is the third book in the series but it is a standalone story.
