The Mistress of Tall
Acre is another of Laura Frantz’s books that just shows what an excellent
storyteller she is. I went into this
book not really knowing the premise and was rewarded with such a richly layered
story. Thankfully, I can read one of her books and
know there will be a HEA, however to get there is quite a journey that can put
the characters and the readers through a gauntlet of emotions. This one was no exception and had me flipping
through the pages, desperately trying not to peek at the end, to see the final
resolution. Taking place right after the
Revolutionary War, this is a story of heartbreak, love, pain, and one that is
hopeful. I would even say there is a bit
of a gothic feel to this tale as it is shrouded in mystery and secrets and an underlying
feeling of malice. Her characters are
phenomenal yet flawed and the romance is not to be missed. Go
ahead and pick this one up and read the story of General Seamus Ogilvy and
Sophie Menzies, you won’t be disappointed.
My thanks to Revell Publishing for providing me with a copy for an
honest review and as always the opinions are my own.
