The Forbidden Promise
by Lorna Cook
As with Lorna Cook’s debut novel, The Forgotten Village, this is a lovely light & absorbing easy read. Both books are dual timeline and both feature an element of mystery along with the history and an element of romance. Although the romantic aspects are rather predictable the story as a whole isn’t and it’s written without any patronising of the reader (which always helps!). The characters are well rounded and believable & the setting here in a Scottish stately home is original.
I’ve enjoyed the book very much & I would describe it as the perfect holiday read;enjoyable & interesting enough without being too demanding.
The ending however did let it down a little - it reminded me of the ending of the film Pretty Woman!
