About the Book
In 1715, Lady Blythe
Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his
Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England.
Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe
awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven
sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known.
No
sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady
Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He
has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political
leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of
comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best
for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as
possible.
Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting
alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts.
Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who
appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies--and those who
pretend friendship may be enemies. (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
Oh my goodness how I love Laura's books! I was so excited to read this story since I knew that it was mixed with some of Frantz' personal family history. I read this book slowly taking each chapter in with pure joy. You can't rush a Laura Frantz book as it has so many details that you won't want to miss. The faith message is well written and I appreciate how Frantz handles real life issues and shows how merciful of a Savior we have. I adore the characters of Everard and Blythe and Everard's brothers are even a delight. The history is fascinating, the setting breathtaking, and the romance sweet. This is historical fiction at its finest. I am ready to pack my bags and visit Scotland!
I highly recommend any book by Laura Frantz but this one is superb!
Five Stars.
