5.0

This historical romance starts starts out as as a sweet meet cute. An older man dies and his oldest son has moved to the West Indies. His second son lives in London and moved into his home place after his fathers death. The will is read but items are missing. A chest that hasn’t been seen in years was left to the older brother but has never been claimed and is missing.

We come to find that the brother died, and left his son and daughters, but he didn’t keep in contact with his family after he left.

The gentleman saves the Eloise from falling out of the ash tree where he is hiding as his uncle doesn’t want to believe his that he is the son of his long lost brother.

Eloise is the oldest daughter of the second wealthiest family in Surrey. Her family had taken over caring for the poor and unwell people of the parish.

This is an easy read, and if you love historical fiction, you will absolutely love this book! The romance side of this book is understated and not spicy. This is a book you can recommend to your mother-in-law or mom, without blushing.
