This was a sweet, endearing read that had it all. A widow and her young daughter are on the run from her horrid father who after beating her most of her life, is now threatening her daughter unless she marries an old man that he owes money too. To escape this horrible predicament her husbands parents send her to the country to hide with her cousin. Unfortunately, or fortuitously, that is not where she ends up! Humor, passion, horror and revolution are just some of the emotion experienced whilst reading it and I finished it in one sitting eager to see the happily ever after. Five stars are a must for my first Aubrey Wynne novel! Now I have to go back and read the first one!

I was pleased to have received a Netgalley copy and I have freely given this review.
