Editorial Reviews

Blacksmith Aaron Dawes never forgot the day he laid eyes on Miss Diana Highwood. But would this aristocratic, elegant, and easily most beautiful woman in the county be courted by a village smithy? For two years, Aaron and Diana observe the social proprieties while fighting the slow burn of mutual attraction. Marriage out their respective classes is unthinkable. Diana’s mother is holding out for a duke for her daughter, and Aaron needs a woman who can be a helpmate in his trade. Is it a love to last a lifetime or will practicality rule the day?

Verdict This classic story of love across the social divide matches two characters who are strong and compassionate in their love for each other. The intricacies of village life coupled with a lively group of supporting characters make for an engrossing read. A great title for Regency romance readers.—Debra M. Dudek, Fountaindale P.L.
