4.0 out of 5 stars
Very Enjoyable,
By Woodbuckley (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tavern Wench (Mills & Boon Historical Romance) (Hardcover)
This a most enjoyable story: well told, well written,sympathetic characters, interesting situations. Emma Lynn has been forced by her circumstances to become a cook in a tavern, owned by her former nurse Martha. Into her life comes Benedict Grantley, a gentleman of the highest order bent on solving a possible murder mystery laid before him by an old friend. The two are obviously meant for each other. There is of course the usual initial misunderstanding about her status, but the point is not belaboured to the detriment of either character. The plot is satisfyingly stretched by the deepening investigation of the death. Emma of course becomes involved. Love convincingly develops. The period is well done - no foolish modernities as regards the characters. The plot may be a little quiet as regards the romance being shunted aside by the investigation, but it looms large again with the solution and a nasty intervention by Benedict's sister. Only one final twist of this strand prevented a fifth star. Emma's foolish pursuit of a noble renunciation was quite unbelievable and astonishingly hurtful to more than her intended quarry. A good story - thoroughly recommended.
