A widow at just 30 years of age, Rose Finlay is determined to put all ideas of marriage and family behind her and pursue an independent life. But when she notices a young woman about to be led astray by a roguish aristocrat, bitter memories from her past arise, and she feels compelled to intervene. The unintended consequences of her efforts will ultimately force Rose to reexamine her life in a new light.
As the overseer of his two widowed sisters' financial and domestic affairs, John Milburn carries heavy responsibilities for a single man. But he's faced with his biggest challenge when his headstrong niece falls prey to the attentions of a powerful man who could ruin both her and her family.
When Rose and John join forces to protect his niece, they put everything they hold dear--including their growing attraction--in jeopardy.
My thoughts:
This is one of my favorite
books that I have read this year. I have
loved the entire series but Holding the Line is one that I have thought about
long after I finished reading it. Rose
Finlay is a strong, disciplined, hardworking widow, she knows what she wants
out of life and she is very focused. It was all going well until she overhears a
conversation between a young man and, somewhat naïve young lady. I love how Rose knew what was happening and
went outside of her comfort zone to try to help the girl avoid a big mistake.
Rose obviously will need help
and who better than the uncle of the niece being led astray? I loved John Milburn; he sure has his hands
full with his family situation but luckily, he has Rose to help him sort out
the many challenging things that keep him on his toes.
This novel has it all, an
amazing storyline, memorable characters is perfectly paced and will make you
shed a tear. If you love historical fiction, this is a must read.
Thank you to the publisher
and Netgalley for my copy. All opinions
