Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson

Readers who loved the Emma M. Lion series will thoroughly enjoy meeting Marianne from Edenbrooke. Yes, dear readers there is a ‘knight’ in shining armor. This complex character exemplifies the mystery of Pierce, the love of books as young Hawkes, and the witty banter of the Duke.How does the perfect romance novel  include a robbery, a shooting, and a kidnapping? I am not sure, but somehow Julianne Donaldson weaves it artistically into this beloved book!  No spoilers here, just the recommendation that you will not regret meeting Marianne Daventry. I can’t say as much for her twin sister. Sheila’s one word summary was noble and Kate’s was misunderstanding. We loved this advice to Marianne from an older wiser character: “ I have discovered happiness is being true to who I am. I hope you will give that idea some consideration.” “Don’t let others' expectations direct the course of your life.”Treat yourself to a whirlwind romance that even Jane Austen would recommend! You will savor your time in Edenbrooke!Blessings dear listeners!
