Book Review: The Betrothed (Cutter's Creek Book 7) - Vivi Holt
Synopsis:
Lady Charlotte Beaufort of Beaufort Manor, England, is accustomed to the finer things in life. She’s used to everything going her way. But it’s all about to change.
When her parents force her into an engagement with the Duke of Notherington, a man she barely knows, she runs away – traveling aboard a steamer to the New World.
Harry Brown, a silversmith’s apprentice from Greyburn, doesn’t stand a chance with the beautiful Charlotte. Then he runs afoul of the local thug, and he and his sister have to leave town. When Charlotte and Harry cross paths, the attraction is undeniable – but can they overcome generations of social barriers to admit their true feelings for one another?
Take a journey from the beautiful Lakes District of England to untamed Cutter's Creek, Montana Territory, where the rules of love are bound to be broken.
My Rating: ★★★★★
My Thoughts:
Author Vivi Holt is simply amazing! I have yet to read a book by her that is not great! This story was no different as it was a pleasure to read and captured my attention from beginning to end. I thought it was interesting and made for a different read having the story go from across the ocean to end up in Cutter’s Creek. Charlotte and Harry like each other however due to their social standings they appear conflicted with their feelings. It shows that no matter your standing in society the heart wants what the heart wants.
I t thought the story was well written with enough excitement to keep you entertained and a happy ending that we all come to expect. The journey they took was not an easy one and the way that Vivi spun it to show the hardships and good times made for a good read.
I am looking forward to the next book this authors writes. I know when I pick up a book by Vivi Holt that it is going to be a great read and will not disappoint.
