Between The Pages
While I didn’t read the first three books in The Darlings of Deadwood series, I didn’t feel lost in the plot. This story stands well on its own and is filled with a good punch of emotion. Bertha is a strong woman but loses herself after being forced into a love-less marriage. The authors takes you into Bertha’s journey over the next twenty years, which is an engrossing storyline. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I really enjoyed her writing style and storytelling. She has a good voice for emotional drama. You’ll want to clap your hands when Bertha finally rediscovers her true self, and the twist that lies ahead will leave you smiling. I thoroughly enjoyed this historical romance and will check out more books from this author.
