The Gentlewoman Series Book 4
PAULA'S REVIEW:
Louisa is a merchant’s daughter who is escaping an arranged marriage and makes a Big Mistake. She seeks employment and eventually becomes a companion to Lady Halverton who sees the gentlewoman that is hiding in Louisa. At Lady Halverton’s tutelage, she becomes well read and capable. She captures the attention of Lord Halverton, son of Lady Halverton. Lord James is following in his father’s legacy until he finds a flaw in his father’s character.
With an authentic voice, the author takes us to Georgian England following a hero who is searching for his true calling and a heroine who is trying to overcome her past. Louisa and James grow and subjugate the constraints of society to seek the good they can offer to others.
This was a sweet, clean historical romance with likeable, honest characters and a setting that puts you in the story. Lessons include righting wrongs, taking responsibility, standing up yourself and furthering worthy causes.
