When housemaid Martha began an affair with her Master's son, Lucien, the future Earl of Marchwood, it was always destined to end badly.

Single, pregnant and unemployed, Martha struggles to forge a new life for herself and her daughter, only for Lucien to inadvertently destroy it.

She and her daughter are homeless and starving when they come to the aid of a man who proves to be their salvation.

Lucien is still obsessed with his lost love, the only woman who has ever rejected him.

A chance meeting seven years later could spell disaster but can they put their pain and pride behind them and seize this opportunity, or will old ghosts ruin their last chance at happiness?

Glaring errors like calling the stable a barn or the mail coach ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

I would have given this give stars of it was set in the very late 1800's or early 1900's. I feel Martha would not have been able to be in the business world in the mid 1800's. Glaring errors like calling the stable a barn or the mail coach a stagecoach bothered me. I wondered if the writer did any research. It was almost as if there were two writers one for dialogue and one for setting. I did like the characters. I would like to have read an epilogue. Follow thru after such a long courtship seemed needed. The ending was very abrupt. I was glad it was KU.

solid 4 star read

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2013

I really enjoyed this book. The author took an often told tale and put an unique twist to; the result was a story you must read.
I loved the heroine. She was so strong but yet vulnerable at the same time. She lived through things that people today can only imagin, and she came out on top.
I liked the hero. He could be sweet, but he had that edge to him that I love in my hero. I do wish that the author had showed him wallowing in misery a bit more. She showed his anger, but I would have loved to see him become a unrepentant rake. Drinking, gambling, and womanizing. I love watching a guy fall apart after his heart has been broken. :)
The writing flowed well. It kept me interested; it's a book you just can't put down! I read that there was editing issues but I believe the book has be edited again, because I did not notice any errors. There are a few phrases that sound a little weird, but I believe that is because she was attempting to use more formal language. (Which is often seen in historical books.)
I did feel that the story could have been fleshed out a bit better. The hero's mother could have played a much larger role; I think that her controlling and uncaring nature could have added depth to the story. I also think that the story of her family could have been played up a bit.
I read a few reviews that say that the first half of this book is not a romance. Because of those, I considered not buying it. After reading it, I have to disagree. Yes the first half showed how the H & h dealt with their heart break, but I always felt that it was romance driven. Granted the H & h were not together, but everything they did seemed to lead their thoughts to the other.
Over all it was a great story; a must read for those of you who love historical romance.
*****spoiler******
I believe what happened to the heroines younger sister was not needed for progression of the story. I almost feel as if it was added for shock value. The way it was handled left me shaking my head. I thought that the heroine's father (and brother to a lesser extent) should have had to pay more for their sins. I'm fine with her sending them off, but we needed to know what happened to them. I felt that left a big hole in the story. This alone knocked my rating from 5 to 4 stars.

Just different enough from the typical romance and/or Victorian

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2012

The book was just different enough from the typical romance and/or Victorian that I liked it without being able to identify exactly why. I know it is because the characters and situations seem more real than such genres usually do - maybe because three (four, five, probably six) of the most major characters are thinking for themselves without it being blatently pointed that they are thinking for themselves. I also like the variety in personalities among the characters (including but limited to that some don't think for themselves but they do so just like people of today do so). Even the minor characters are distinct, memorable, and believable.

There are a few imperfections. I noticed the "flower" instead of "flour" too, but seriously, such mistakes were few and far between. There was a time or two near the end of the book where I thought a thread of the story didn't really work but again, it was more like needing just a touch more polishing than anything really distracting.

Great Story!

This book had me enthralled from the first line. I could not put it down. Martha reminded me so much of myself. I am very prideful and could absolutley understand the reasoning behind many of her actions. I think this book does deserve the title of Pride and Prejudice, because you encounter so much of those emotions in this book.

Yes there are some editing errors, but if you can get past those mistakes, then you can enjoy the story. I highly recommend to anyone 13+...

This is one book that you should DEFINITELY purchase!! Worth every penny! I was so enchanted with the characters. Deeply invested in their story and in the end, grateful to have it on my Kindle Fire! I was impressed with the personal strength of Martha and was cheering her on from page one! Gus was not only a Godsend, but an example to Martha of what a loving relationship could be. I could not put it down...finished in less than a day, to the detriment of the family laundry!!

Captivating Love Story

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

I would have given this book a five star rating but the story had several grammar errors but it did not take away from the story line. the author drew the reader in fro the beginning and kept our interest throughout the story. She also allowed us to experience the many emotions of her characters as they struggled with their feelings and other problems in their lives. The story had intrigue, suspense, betrayal, suffering, abuse, surprises, and romance.

The best way to describe this Victorian saga is that it is a cross between A Woman of Substance, with Pride and Prejudice.
It tells the story of an earl's son and the housemaid who ends up pregnant by him.
Her life is one major rollercoaster of disaster being followed by amazing good luck , followed by more disaster and so on .
Sometimes the writing style was a bit too simplistic, skirting over some very serious subjects but the general storyline kept me interested.

I must admit thet I realy enjoyed this book and when I had to put it down I could not wait to pick up and carry on reading. This is almost like a rags to riches story except it was all earned by wanting to get on away from povety and to care for her newborn child and of course luck. I felt for Martha when she was having to live rough with a new baby and then meeting her benifactor who helped her on her way to a new life. I suggest you read this book as whatever one says does not do justice to Catherine's book, from morals of past society and stigma it makes you thankful you live in this day and age. I hope Catherine does a follow up of this book as I personally would like to know what happens next. VERY WELL DONE CATHERINE. (Irene)

After reading the ratings for this book I was disappointed I didn't enjoy it more. I thought it a bit long winded and explanatory. There was very little romance and that was nearing the end of the book. The love scene lasted all of a few lines, the author gave more information on the new alarm clock that had just been invented. Overall it was quite a good and unusual story for this genre but for me it lacked passion and romance

So enjoyable!

I loved this novel, it was so well written and fitted in with the time period perfectly! The romance was also well written but the story line in general had me near weeping both in happiness and sadness at parts! I found myself unable to put the book down and would recommend this to anyone who likes a beautiful romance set realistically in a period of history!

Nice story of rags to riches.

Martha's affair with Lucien (the future Earl of Marchwood) ends badly, leaves her with child struggling to survive. In a fateful night they meet a man and form a relationship that proves to be constructive for both.
The story is moving gracefully depicting the life of the upper/middle class and the gruesome conditions of the lower class. It is refreshing to see how the characters develop from selfish adolescent to responsible adult. My only complaint is the using of some modern words although not much. All and all is a very interesting read.
