Shine Like the Dawn by Carrie Turansky
4.0
Shine Like The Dawn was the first story I’ve read by author Carrie Turansky, but it won’t be my last. It had all the ingredients that I love—The Edwardian era, a dashing hero, and a tender romance.
Maggie was immediately endearing to me because my heart broke over the tragedy she’d suffered. Her struggle with raising her younger sister by making ends meet as a milliner while attempting to keep resentment and grief at bay tugged at my heart strings. I rallied for her to give happiness a chance again.
As Nate’s character flaw was…um…er…nothing. He was the perfect hero! Always wanting to do what’s right. Always the mannerly gentleman. His attentive dealings with Maggie and sensitivity toward her pain made me hope for a match between them. He reminds me a lot of Edward Farrars from Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.
I was surprised by the mystery weaved through the story and enamored by the gentle romance. Above all, the theme of forgiveness and unfailing love danced across the pages and into my heart.
So in conclusion, I recommend this story and this author.
