A new regency a la Downton Abbey, The Heiress of Winterwood combines likeable characters, unique romance and plot line to create a sweet and enjoyable story.

Amelia and Graham are two characters thrown into a situation neither one would have chosen if given a choice. Amelia has such a strong love for this little girl that isnt even hers and drives her to takean unconditional method to protect her.

I liked the flavor of this regency that it didnt stick with the normal and acceptable route to romance and the regency pattern. It breaks normal clichés and drives forward with a purpose to the story. Subplots blended well to add layers and tension. Descriptions were sweet and inviting, taking the reader into the story until I could close my eyes and see the story.

I thought the first quarter of the story could have used a bit of tightening and tension, but the middle was by no means sagging! I tried to pinpoint what I didnt immediately connect with while reading the story and I think it was just simply the style. It was by no means anything to dislike, I just struggled to always stay completely invested.

A beautiful cover, a good cast of characters and a novel I would definitely recommend to any regency lover.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publisher through Litfuse for my copy to review.
