This one felt different as it was a widow and a second son that fell in love.

Eve married someone not of her class and was disowned. She loved her husband and then he died. Now she is back in England. She was, well honestly normal ;) A good woman.

Marcus has PTSD and has left the life of a soldier. He uses his rage as a fighter. He was also normal, it feels like I am at a loss for words here but they were both normal, nice, he had small issues and they fell in love.

The setting is 1906 so yes Edwardian romance was another thing that was different, and interesting.

But life is never easy. There is suspense in this novel too as, oh I shall not say, but something from the past comes haunting them. And a bit of drama as Marcus's sister in law tries to play matchmaker and not between him and Eve.

A nice romance with a suspenseful twist. (

First in the Thornbrook Park series - I picked this up because we had a query about the Anglo/Boer War concentration camps and it was mentioned that one of the characters in this book had been there. I was really hoping for some more historical details about the camps, but was disappointed. Widowed Eve Kendal has returned to England from India and is staying with her friend at Thornbrook Park whilst she tries to sort out her financial position - just where is her husband's money? Captain Marcus Thorne, war hero, is plagued by his war experiences and has turned to boxing as a way to deal with his anger. He is also trying to take care of the family of his friend who was killed in the war. He visits his brother at Thornbrook Park. His brother's wife is trying to make a match between Marcus and her sister Alice, but Marcus and is drawn to Eve, the couple starting an affair and also looking into her missing investments. When the investigation turns nasty and Eve's life is threatened, will Marcus be able to save her in time? Okay read. (

Set in 1906, this book was a refreshing read full of romance and suspense. I liked that Eve and Marcus were not the usual H/h found in historical romances. As a widow, Eve had the freedom denied to young girls and spinsters. Marcus was a second son. As such, there were many opportunities for them to be alone in each other's company without raising too many eyebrows.

There was also an element of mystery to the story as Eve and Marcus began to investigate her husband's missing investments in an Indian diamond mine. People connected to the mine were going missing and Marcus was worried that Eve's life was in grave danger. There were so many possibilities for who was out to get Eve that it kept me guessing to the end.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading other books by Sherri Browning. (

"A wounded hero and bold heroine who defy the conventions of society...Readers will enjoy their visit to Thornbrook Park." �??RT Book Reviews

A lady's maid finds forbidden love in the halls of England's grandest estates in this romance for fans of Downton Abbey

Disowned for marrying beneath her, Eve Kendal has returned to England destitute after her husband's death and the mysterious disappearance of their savings. She's looking for survival, not romance. But from London to the Yorkshire countryside to the elegant estate of Thornbrook Park, Eve's path seems destined to cross that of the dashing but violent Captain Marcus Thorne.

For Marcus, a return home means facing the demons that drove him to war in the first place. As he and Eve begin a steamy affair, tensions that had been simmering just beneath the surface threaten to explode and shake the very foundations of Thornbrook Park.
