BOOK THREE IN THE ENGLISH GARDEN SERIES. IT FOLLOWS THE STORY OF ALEXANDER TATE AND CASSANDRA STEELE. IT IS A WONDERFUL LOVE STORY.
GREAT read!! Hard to put down. A touching story of God's faithfulness in every circumstance of life.
great read,
There is a reason that Jane Austen and the Bronte Sisters are authors whose works are read, re-read, and turned into movies: they create vivid worlds where likeable, headstrong characters live.
Then there is this book, by Christian author Lori Wick. It will probably not be read beyond her faithful readership, nor will it ever be optioned for a film starring Kate Winslet.
The setup is rather trite: redhead Cassandra reads books (often in foreign languages) to temporarily blind Alexander Tate, and the two eventually fall in love. The biggest problem I have with Wick's books is that while she has two main protagonists, she always writes entire scenes and often chapters with secondary and tertiary characters from other books in the series. This is distracting, and it prevents the reader from getting fully into the story. Her research on life in Victorian England is seriously wanting and, while I've enjoyed a few of her other works, this series is best left on the shelf.

Liked the first, liked the second, and of course liked the third. All so far a nice read.
I enjoyed this series, it was very different from her other stories.
Set in Victorian England, this is a Christian alternative to the secular historical romances.
After Mr. Tate is thrown from his horse he is struck with temporary blindness. To get away from the busyness of London he retires to the country. There he meets characters from the first 2 English Garden books, including the Steele sisters.
This is another Lori Wick classic you will enjoy. Ask for it today.
