Lydia Wells dreams of adventure, but lives a protected life at Mrs. Peyton’s School for Girls. She often slips away from the school to visit the harbor and gaze at the fishing boats, the merchant vessels, and the majestic ships of the line. She can’t wait to leave Falmouth and go…anywhere.

But when her father is lost at sea, Lydia must take responsibility for herself and her younger sister, Charlotte. She takes a job as a nanny and begins a new life in the home of the handsome but volatile Colonel Michael Hartford.

A summons from the opulent Boscombe Hall comes as rather a surprise. The truth about the Wells family background is about to change everything. Lydia will have her adventure. Can she and Charlotte find happiness in their new life without giving up the people they cherish?

This book was fantastic! The characters were very well developed in the book. It was a pleasure to read and re-read some portions as the descriptions were so good!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story, clean romance
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2019

I liked the story, and the author was good at describing the scenery, the emotions, and the problems that were happening. The story was somewhat different than most Regency stories at the beginning especially, but later it did contain the balls, the nobility acting as they do, and the servant class acting as they must. The main characters are 2 sisters and the men they love, which makes the plot divide and overlap all throughout the book, with subplots from other characters intertwining with the sisters. The many characters were not hard to follow, but it did cause the story to be long and to drag at times. There were also lengthy descriptions, discussions, and the thoughts of the sisters that were bogging down the story. I appreciated that the story was clean, but there also was no emotional passion with the many couples except for Charlotte.

Truly a historical romance. I was taken out of the everyday and transported to the British isles for a time. Different than the drawing rooms of London, but truly the time period. Great read as the snow comes down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute story

I'll preface by saying, overall I enjoyed this book.

It started out pretty slow I really wanted to like it but was having trouble getting into it. I think part of the reason is it's only a single female perspective and the main male wasn't even introduced into the story for a while. By about halfway it started getting more interesting. The book would really benefit from a good editor there were countless misspellings. The main thing I disliked about the book was the dialogue between the two main characters was really awkward and confusing. They really had no chemistry. The rest of the dialogue was ok.

Anyways I did enjoy the book, but it definitely could have been better. I did overall enjoy the writing style and story.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little repetitive
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2019

I finished the book because I found I could not predict what was going to happen. That doesn’t mean I enjoyed all of the reading. I found Lydia and Charlotte too forward for the era. The older sister talked when she should have not spoken and kept silent when she should have all the while repeating incessantly the reasons behind her actions or lack thereof. I read a lot if “telling” what happened and not as much “showing” what happened. Many a good story is buried by exposition. It was hard for me to know what made the couples fall for each other because it was not really shown. But this book is good if you seek light entertainment. I liked the fierce loyalty between the sisters, Mrs Peyton and Mrs Tumbridge and Hugh.

I loved the story. It has well developed characters and flowed well. The only thing I didn't like was there were too many mistakes like "though" instead of "through". The author needs to proofread her work or hire an english major to do it for her. Otherwise, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a really good historical romance.

I enjoyed the way the characters were brought to life. They made me feel that I was getting to know them and wanted to read more about them. I was disappointed when it was finished. I would certainly recommend this book to other readers.

I found this book unsatisfying. Loads of extraeneous detail, the Colonel doesn't appear as a romantic interest until most of the book is over.

I read the book to the end and didn't skip very much. Some of the rhetoric was infantile, especially for war veterans. But the book was exactly as described and reminded me of a Barbara Cartland novel but without the knowledge of upper society.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 23, 2018

this author seems not to be aware of the stunning divisions among social classes in what is called the "united" kingdom...language, parents' occupations and education still determine your place in the world...the plot of this text is totally unrealistic, anachronistic and wrong...a baronet's carriage does not have a "regal" crest on the door, a captain's daughter does not introduce herself to her employer's housekeeper by first name (!), and an uneducated fisherman, speaking cornish, with illiterate, poor parents, does not marry the daughter of an earl, no matter how handsome, brave or devoted he may be....this is pure fairy-tale, wishfulfilment melodrama, with
echoes of charlotte bronte, maria edgeworth and mills and boon...the author can write, but the plot is ludicrous, unrealistic and reads like the fevered dream of a young teenage girl...it was too silly to be funny...sorry...two stars for language skills...but nothing for plot, pacing, or verisimilitude...the biggest difference between europe and the us is the fact that europe has classes, while the us is one bubbling melting pot for the lower middle class...dreams and aspirations can become realities there, which would simply be laughed at in europe...an ambitious author has to consider this rigidity, and make her characters behave appropriately...or place them in a modern setting, maybe in canada? that does work...
