Customer Reviews

Wonderful story!

This first book in a new series by Carolyn Miller brings back beloved characters from the first series and also introduces some new characters that have their own appeal. Catherine Winthrop knows what it is like to have loved and lost a good man. She thought he loved her too, but one day he broke off their relationship without any explanation. Several years later, a tragedy has befallen her family, and Jonathan Carlew comes back into her life because he has inherited the Winthrop family estate through a distant family tie. Old misunderstandings arise, Catherine's mother becomes unbearable, and the old lovers clash every time they meet. Soon circumstances begin to spiral out of control, and Jonathan and Catherine must make difficult decisions that affect their future. Can they ever reconcile and move on, or will the past continue to haunt them? I cannot begin to express how much I enjoy Carolyn Miller's books. Every one seems to get better and better. I love how she is able to write about so many different characters who have various problems and perspectives and make each one authentic and believable. Personally, I enjoy books more when authors write from the heart about real life situations and struggles. No one is perfect, and everyone fights their own battle in life. Sometimes relationships do bring out the worst in people. The question is, what will people do with the lessons they learn? Will they change for the better, or use their circumstances as an excuse to continue bad behavior? Carolyn's use of biblical principles and her unique grasp of the inner workings of various relationships continue to keep me coming back eagerly for each new book she writes. If you enjoy Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, or genuine stories with good life lessons, you will definitely enjoy this book! I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher with no requirement of a positive review. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
