A violent storm. A sleepless night. A test.
Emma Widmore has longed to return to her childhood home since the day she was forced to leave it after her father’s death. Widmore Manor represents every hope Emma has ever had and every person she has ever loved. When she feels drawn back to Widmore Manor on a stormy night, she is granted refuge by the one person she is sure would still know her after all these years. But when James Atwood—heir of Widmore Manor and Emma’s childhood friend—shows nothing but suspicion, Emma’s hope falters. After hearing rumors of a test—a standard—that other young women have failed, Emma worries that she, too, will fail. As Emma seeks to understand this test, she must be reconciled with her past and learn what being home truly means.

I love fairy tale adaptions. This delightful story is so much better than the original. I loved the heartache and the joy, but mostly I loved the romance. I am delighted to have this modern classic in my digital library.

This was a well-told story of riches to rags and rags to riches. There’s some unbelievable events in the story but since this is a fairytale retelling, I guess I can let it go.

A really pleasant story with a very unique twist to a child’s fairytale. It has a different slants and angle thus making it a different story in the end. A story with a sweet romantic end

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, touching romance
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019

This was absolutely lovely. A poignant retelling of the Princess and the Pea. The main characters are very nice. And there is no villain except poverty. And it is a terrible villain in this story. I'm glad the author included it.

This is not a light hearted story, at least to me. I had to cry a little several times, but even so this is a lovely little gem.

Highly recommended

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2020

Peaslee begins her story in 1799, when Emma Widmore and James Atwood are childhood friends.
The story moves forward to 1815,
Where James has a reputation for being "choosy" about his future bride.
Peaslee incorporates elements from Andersen's well known fairytale and adds some elements from: The Secret Garden, to create a sweet romance.

This is an enjoyable addition to the series. It is an interesting Regency retelling of the Princess and the Pea. There are times when it felt as if there needed to be more to the story, but it is overall a good, but not great, read.

It made me cry. The hardships, the cold, the hunger. But, above all of that, the love and commitment. It is a very well crafted tale that draws on your heart strings. It leaves you aching yet satisfied. A great read.

Really great book. A heroine who goes from rich to poor. Her childhood best friend who goes from poor to rich. Will they ever reconnect? A simply beautiful story.
