Rose Golightly, at five and twenty, considers herself on the shelf; an old maid too old for the marriage mart, so she’s settled for helping her brother’s family at their country home. While traveling to a wedding, she is confused by her mixed emotions regarding her pursuit by a young man and the other man she comes to love. Now that she has decided what she needs to do to help Richard survive the carriage crash, she can’t hide the feelings she has for him any longer.
Richard Kerre, Viscount Strang, has decided to dissolve the contract he just signed to marry a woman he can no longer tolerate. In the meantime, it’s love at first sight when he sees Rose upon his arrival at an estate they are both were bound for. As far as he is concerned, she is the only woman for him, and there is nothing he won’t do to have her. Even if that means he must fight his father and give up his fortune to do it.
Yorkshire is a fascinating story that immediately caught my interest and kept me reading to the end to see what would happen next. I was very appalled by the actions of the minster, spouting his personal religious beliefs of how people should behave. I was particularly unhappy with his pompous, look-down-his-nose attitude towards numerous other characters, especially the women. At first, the murders were considered an accident, and upon learning what happened only created more suspense, that added to the mystery of who committed them. There were a few of the characters that took on the task to solve them, and I was surprised to find out who dunit!
Lynne Connolly does a wonderful job with her creativity of all the characters, and the vivid descriptions of the period clothing, and the treasures at the manor. This is the first book in the series, Richard and Rose; and I am looking forward to reading the next story in this historical romance.
