Okay, so this book is just downright romantic! I loved reading this romance. It was clean and filled with high morale and
made me want to work on my home relationships. Marianne has lost her mother. Her father seems to have taken off after her mom's death. Her twin sister is away for the summer in Town. Marianne prefers the country. Marianne is heading to Edenbrooke to be with her sister as her sister tries to get the eldest son to ask her marry him. Her sister gets everything she wants.
Marianne is so excited to go. Not only because it is in the country but to get away from her Grandmother's critical yet concerned view.
Even her trip to Edenbrooke is eventful. There are many twists and turns that I was really quite surprised about.
If you love clean romance, you will love this book. I enjoyed every moment and couldn't put it down.
