Josephine moved to Yorkshire with her family after several failed Seasons in London. They aren't very welcomed there due to her father wanting to make some major changes to the town, but there is one person who looks after her....their steward Will Crowle.Will worked his families land to the bone, wanting to prove that he was good enough for Josephine...her father wouldn't have it. But when Jo's father brings a Scottish man to be her intendant Will does everything he can to seduce and win Josephine's heart. This is definitely one of those historical romance novellas that you do not want to put down from page one. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that there is a special sneak peek at the end to someone who is a key character in this story! So I definitely can not wait to read that story. This was wonderfully written with adventure, secrets and times when you didn't know what was going to happen next....I have to admit the ending was slightly predicable but they way it came about wasn't. Will's family used to own the land where he is now the steward. Josephine is the oldest daughter of the family that purchased the land. He has loved her for 5 years but her father will not allow Will to court her. So instead they continue to meet, mostly to talk and share their lives. Jo has no idea that Will loves her but when circumstances allow her to see, she grabs her future with both hands. Really enjoyed the story and looking forward to Grant's book.
What do You think about Winning A Bride (2000)?
This has made me NEED to go back and read the first 2 as I really liked this one.
