My Review
Wow! I have not been intrigued by a book and read it almost
nonstop like this one in quite some time. Where is the option for 100 stars, surely this one deserves it!
Who could ever imagine the rags to riches story awaiting inside these pages? Dank,dark and dangerous that's London's East End where Raina Bretton lives in poverty and works as a rag woman.
Seemingly chosen by random in a dark alley by a handsome stranger she is whisked off to a new life of glamour and servants. There is a catch though, she is now Lady Enderly who is said to be taking a break from the public's eye. Who really is Lady Enderly though and where is she?
A very real gothic feel will accompany you as you read the pages of this book with the abbey in it's decay and ruin. A foreboding feeling will linger with you as secrets are rampant and what about those who threaten
to reveal her secret identity?
I could not read this book quickly enough danger,mystery,romance a haunting prose. This is one not to miss! Published August 20th 2019 by Fleming H. Revell Company I was given a complimentary copy. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
GoodReads Summary
Raina Bretton is a rag woman in London's east end when a handsome stranger appears in a dank alley and offers her a glittering smile and a chance for adventure. Rothburne Abbey has a unique position for her, one that will take her away from her hardscrabble life and give her a chance to be a lady. Things she could only dream of might be coming true. But some dreams turn out to be nightmares. Though Raina has traded squalor for silk and satin, something about the abbey is deeply unsettling. As she wrestles with her true identity, the ruin, decay, and secrets she finds at the heart of the old mansion tear at her confidence and threaten to reveal her for who she really is. Only one man stands between her and the danger that lurks within--and only if he decides to keep her biggest secret hidden.
