Despite the obstacles that are in their path, Gabriel and Sophia are determined to make this the moment where they learn to heal and to love again
This was a fantastic read and totally had me captivated from the beginning. The Great Estate is a story that is set in the Georgian Era. Which is a bit different than what you are normally used to. It is set in the early 1900's...so think Titanic era. We have a story of a couple that have been married and care quite a bit for each other. We see how much they individually want to make their marriage succeed, and it is quite lively at times seeing them sort through the problems and conflicts that arise. I love seeing this theme of these two battling issues out and working toward a solution. Both are opinionate characters, strong and stubborn. But we see an influx of other character that just add more to the story. What was most intriguing about this story, that while these two try to make an effort to work things out, they also have to deal with family relative gettings in the way. What surprised me most about this story was how much I fell in love with this story. I wasn't sure before reading this one how I would feel about it, but boy was it a fun romance. Even though it had a serious tone to it, it still had those lighter moments. The romance was sweet and charming and I loved seeing these two connect to each other again. I haven't read the first two books, but after reading this one I am intrigued to try out the two other books!
I love the classy cover here, with the deep dark colors, It fits the time period and I love how realistic it looks.
The Great Estate is a stunning romance of rediscovery, healing, and true love!! It's a story that will keep the reader captivated and glued to the story from the first chapter.
