About
this book:
“Cornwall was in her blood, and Delia feared she’d never escape its hold.
Cornwall, England, 1811
Blamed for her husband’s death, Cordelia Greythorne fled Cornwall and accepted a governess position to begin a new life. Years later her employer’s unexpected death and his last request to watch over his five children force her to reevaluate. She can’t abandon the children now that they’ve lost both parents, but their new guardian lives at the timeworn Penwythe Hall . . . back on the Cornish coast she tries desperately to forget.
Jac Trethewey is determined to revive Penwythe Hall’s once-flourishing apple orchards, and he’ll stop at nothing to see his struggling estate profitable again. He hasn’t heard from his brother in years, so when his nieces, nephews, and their governess arrive unannounced at Penwythe Hall, he battles both grief of this brother’s death and bewilderment over this sudden responsibility. Jac’s priorities shift as the children take up residence in the ancient halls, but their secretive governess—and the mystery shrouding her past—proves to be a disruption to his carefully laid plans.
Rich with family secrets, lingering danger, and the captivating allure of new love, this first book in the Cornwall Novels series introduces us to the Twethewey family and their search for peace, justice, and love on the Cornish coast.”

Spiritual Content- Talks about God & having faith; ‘H’s are capitalized when referring to God; Mentions of God; Mentions of faiths, prayers, & praying; Mentions of churches, church going, sermons, & vicars; A couple mentions of a book of prayers; A mention of a saint;

My personal Rating-
This book
has been on my list to read for a while now, so I’m happy that I can cross it
off the long TBR list. Overall it was a good book, a little too kissy and romance-y
at times, but overall it was an entertaining read. Not my favorite by this
author, but still a good one to just enjoy reading. I don’t have much to say
other than that and the fact that the cover is beautiful. I will mostly likely
pick up the next book in the series when it releases.
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
