A review by jessbookishlife
Rags-to-Riches Wife by Catherine Tinley

5.0

This is not the first, neither it will be the last book I will read of  Catherine Tinley. I have fell in love with Historical Romances thanks to the regency books I read, and Catherine Tinley was one of the authors I read since the beginning.

I love to sit back and relax with a good historical romance novel and I certainly was able to do that with this story. As we follow Jane and the turn of events that Robert's arrival led, and that made her life turn upside down, I found myself feeling empathy for the characters thanks to their realism and the interactions between them.

Something I love about historical romances is the fact that, although we may know how it's probably going to end, the journey is always exciting and we can definitely find different layers and topics that give an added emotional and interesting depth to the romance and the storyline.

Personally I love a good story with plot twist or unexpected moments, but the most fun I have is when a book is character based and I can focus more on the relationships and the character development, because if the storytelling is amazing and the characters shine, I can enjoy it and relate to them and feel as if I'm part of the family or group of friends.

Catherine Tinley brings us characters that we can't help but get attach to. They are well constructed and the adventure they take us on was entertaining, and the moments that despite everything just made me think "No way! It can't happen." or "This is awesome! I know it." was what really made me even more excited.

Thanks to Jane's story and how she can handle what life put on her path, as well as Robert's personality that complemented Jane's and made their moments so much fun to read... I just loved them! As well as I loved their story.

Overall, it was yet another novel that I loved and that transported me to a different time and location.  Such a loving story that I enjoyed and quickly read because I couldn't stop until I knew what would happened on the next page, the next chapter...

And as a lover of the genre, I truly recommend this book, because so far Catherine Tinley hasn't disappointed me and I can't wait to read the next novel.
