The Chateau on the Lake by Charlotte Betts

4.0

---

This was the first Charlotte Betts book that I had ever read, and I was quite impressed with it! I found that at first, it started out a little bit slow however, once Madeline and Sophia left England, things started to get interesting. I found that there were a few parts in-between that were a tad boring, such as when Etienne and Madeline were tending to the fields, and there was no real 'climax' happening within the story itself. However, once the book started to wind down towards the end, it started to get a lot better, especially when the drama with Jean-Luc started to happen. I really cringed when I read about Jean-Luc, it made me upset to hear all of the disturbing things that had happened. Things eventually worked-out for the best in the end for Madeline, despite all of the loss that she had encountered throughout most of the book. Looking forward to reading another Charlotte Betts book soon!
