The Promise of Miss Spencer by Sarah L. McConkie
4.0
I love the feeling of being surprised by a book because when I go in expecting one thing and get something even better...that feeling can't be beat.
The Promise of Miss Spencer is a clean historical fiction romance set around the time of the Small Pox epidemic. We get to hear the story through THREE different perspectives which might have been my favorite part of this book.
At Suzanna's father's death bed, he makes her promise to marry a certain gentleman to assure her safety and well being. A man she may or may not have feelings for but Susanna knows so little of love, she is not quire sure what to think.
The best way to go into the book is BLIND. I do this all the time and it never ceases to increase my enjoyment of a book. Not knowing the synopsis made me enjoy the book even better. The characters are a fun and the banter was funny and charming. There were several places I smiled and I really was kept wanting to read more! Susanna, Mr. Lacey and Lord Haversley are all wonderful characters in their own right and have an equal presence within the story which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Small Pox story line adds only depth to the story but never overshadows the romance which romance lovers will rejoice in! I'm so glad Sarah let me read a copy to review because I would have missed out on a really great story!
I only do honest reviews, regardless of how I am given the book... and I can honestly say that if this is your type of genre, then add this one to your list!
