A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh by Carolyn Miller

3.0

While I enjoyed this story I have to admit it isn't my favorite from this author. I'm not a fan of science, fossils, and the like so that aspect of the story I found to be a bit boring. Not the fault of the author at all, it's just not my cup of tea. But I did enjoy the rest of the story and the buildup to a breathtaking climax. Miss Hatherleigh was a very likable character and I loved the relationship she had with Emma, Gideon's sister. The way the two became friends and the bond they had was so nice to read about. I also liked the chemistry between Caroline and Gideon. It was so natural and I'm so glad the author went with an attraction between the two instead of them not liking each other. I liked the way their feelings toward each other progressed. I can't wait to read more about these two and Emma and Lord Kenmore in future books in the series.

The story itself is nice and I liked the faith theme that ran throughout. I liked the way Caroline questioned things instead of automatically believing everything she read or heard. It made the character and the story seem more authentic. As always the author has a way of using words and descriptions to transport readers to the time period. I always feel like I'm stepping back in time when reading one of her books.

A new series from Carolyn Miller is cause for celebration and readers won't be disappointed in A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh. This story has characters to love and despise and a story that I found to be unique to the genre. I can't wait to read the rest of the series and to see what's in store for these characters and their friends!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine.
