A Beautiful Love Story
Reviewed: 09-19-20
Renee Ryan has written a beautiful book about Love and the source of that Love. Read this book for pleasure and for inspiration. In the Bible, it says, "Love comes from God," (1 John 4:7) This book is a very interesting story that begins in the approach to Ellis Island from London bringing a woman with her thoughts of revenge. It seems God has a different plan.
The book has plenty of action in a backdrop of New York City when the city had horse drawn carriages and motor cars too, There are sweatshops, tenements, people coming from all over Europe, a snooty upper class and all kinds of opportunity for good and evil. Enjoy!
Love does come from God and this book gives an example of how that works.

I wanted Romance; I got it!
Reviewed: 08-08-20
I love to escape into Romance Novels and I have standards. I want excellent heroes and heroines and a very good story.
This book met all the criteria.
What made it exceptional, is the hero had qualities I noticed I didn't think to expect. When I learned of these qualities I fell in love just as fast as did the heroine.

Couldn't Put It Down
Reviewed: 07-14-20
I found this to be a good book, which of course I expected, since I am a fan of Ms Carr's books. The book had its share of Romance and it had more. 6 characters, all different, each with something to learn and something to teach the reader.

One of the best things about Romance novels is they don’t have to be absolutely realistic. The hero in this novel is not only rich and handsome, he is smart, sweet and good with his hands in more ways than one.

Excellent Writer Writes Another Good Book

I do enjoy reading romance novels about the English Aristocracy of the 19th century and this writer is on my short list of favorites who can write a fresh story about the same old English.

Lady Sophia's Lover meets that standard because he is lovable and she is bright and beautiful. It is Romance after all and at it's best. I've listened to this book at least once before.
