Publisher's summary

Inheriting a home near two eligible bachelors seems like a dream come true. But which man deserves her trust—or her heart?

Kate Kingston wants nothing more than to instill her love of art into the hearts of her pupils, but when a solicitor arrives to inform her that her uncle died and she inherited his estate, she is hesitant to leave the comfortable life she has developed. Encouraged by her friends to embrace the new adventure, Kate uproots her life and travels to Larkfield where she must face the demons from her past—and work to replace the spoiled memories from her childhood with happier ones. The only problem: she doesn't know the first thing about running a large country estate.

When an injured shoulder sends Peter Evans home from the war, he finds that his younger brother Martin is far from ready to give up his authority over the family estate, and even less willing to leave old quarrels in the past. But when a beautiful lady moves in next door and requests help in learning to manage her estate, Peter is willing to offer his knowledge—and his heart. If only Martin didn't have his sights set on the new neighbor, as well.

But when trouble finds the inhabitants of Larkfield, few people believe the misdeeds are more than a run of bad luck. Convinced that someone is trying to hurt her friend, Kate must track the culprit, and she can't do it alone.

But how can she know which brother to trust?

The second book in the Seasons of Change series, A Forgiving Heart is a stand-alone novel.

Surprising ending

I was thankful that the narrator remembered to use different voices for different times in the narrative. It would be strange to hear a child's voice on an adult. The child version of the villain was a little creepy. The story was very captivating and in the end the héroe was who I thought deserved to be. However I believe the punishment should fit the crime and the villains punishment should have been much harsher.

What did I just read?!? This is not OK

I almost returned the book at the first chapter because the narrators voice is so childlike it is off putting. It makes all the characters lines sound even more immature and silly than thy already are. But beyond that, the plot is seriously lacking. As far a being not OK… I don’t want to give away to much in case anyone still wants to waste their time on this book. But let’s just say that the treatment the villain is given in the end is not acceptable, The author tries to act like a forgiving heart allows him to be treated in a certain way, but actually he is practically rewarded for his crimes that are deserving of death, she puts forth the concept that if a member of your family commits a crime, you are allowed to hush it up. Forget the victims, they have no say in the matter. Much less the woman he has taken advantage of. I was so taken aback I thought the author was about to justify his action by saying something like “But it’s her fault, because she was asking for it”. It is not a forgiving heat, but a willful and prideful ignorance that is celebrated in the end. That is not ok by me.
