Larken by S.G. Rogers, Suzanne G. Rogers

5.0

this had all the elements of a typical historical romance but with more depth. Larken is scarred, physically and emotionally, giving her a depth many heroines lack. I like that she tries to stay strong and is not always successful. She seems more real than many other women in these types of books. Brandon is emotionally traumatized as well, racked by guilt over the death of his brother. they handle it so differently. She is cheerful and sunny and tries to help others where as he shuts himself away freezing his heart so it can no longer feel the pain. they are opposites but by the end they compliment each other by helping one another heal and move on from the past to look forward to the future.

Sweet and cute

Whimsical and sweet, Larken is a loveable character and I enjoyed reading about her relationship with Brandon. It was a cute story, with a touch of drama toward the end. Would recommend for a quick, cozy read.

The Miracle Orphan meets her Prince Charming. Quick and easy read. Forced into marriage Larken quickly realizes Brandon isn’t who she was expecting. They quickly learn they are just what the other needs and their love blooms.

The story of a "Miracle Orphan" who loses her well-off parents in a train wreck and is subsequently made penniless by her adopted parents. She retains her whimsical nature and imagination despite all odds, and unexpectedly finds love in an arranged marriage.

Larken was an amazing character. She shows so many windows and mirrors her feelings are so real.
Myles was so positive and sweet. He was just filled with a light if he was real he would be my best friend. There were things I didn't like about Mr.King but in the end, he was great.

Liked it well enough. The characters were alright, Myles was my fav. I only wish that Larken hadn’t cried so much - it was getting annoying.

Though this was a sweet love story set in the 19th century, it just moved along too quickly for me. Larken went from an orphan who had been taken in by a greedy couple only wanted to profit from funds given for the "Miracle Orphan" to her being forced to marry a man looking for a mother for his new young ward. Her new husband is handsome and nice enough but aloof. Things move along so quickly that they are soon in a comfortable and romantic relationship. There was not enough building of that relationship. Also, it seemed too convenient for her to discover a couple of important people from their pasts. That said, it was an enjoyable read.
