The Maid of Fairbourne Hall~

It's Monday!

What are You Reading?

joining Sheila and her readers at Book Journey

with my current 'just read and enjoyed ' recommendation ...

To escape a scheme to marry her off to a dishonourable man, 

Margaret Macy flees London disguised as a housemaid.

If she can remain unwed until her upcoming birthday, 

she will receive an inheritance, and with it, sweet independence. 

But she never planned on actually working as a servant. 

And certainly not in the home where she lands...

Faced with the first real work of her life, 

Margaret struggles to keep her identity secret ~

especially when suspicions arise and prying eyes visit Fairbourne Hall. 

Can she avoid a trap meant to force her from hiding?

Brimming with romance and danger, 

The Maid of Fairbourne Hall

takes readers inside both the fascinating above stairs and below stairs

worlds of a 19th-century English manor, 

where appearances can be deceiving...

I loved this book! 

 to whet your own appetite ~

I'm providing reading samples of

 The Maid of Fairbourne Hall

 found here for your enjoyment!

this adventurous Regency romance kept me fascinated from beginning to end ~

the storyline had abundant suspense and intrigue 

 keeping me turning all 400+ pages!

Margaret worked on many of my emotions as her character

developed from frustrating to favoured.

realistic characters, true to the era depicted, added to the authenticity.

{i do wish it would be set to the correct spelling of the country and age} -

i think that too would add to its authenticity

the faith aspects are handled well and accurately to this historical period.

an addition to the story rather than a distraction.

a highly recommended book!

a great movie of the period that interconnects perfectly,

is "Amazing Grace".

it provides relevant background info on the sugar plantations 

that bear on the storyline.

a highly recommended movie!
