About the book:
Verity Hatherleigh has a mind of her own—but her actions do not impress her viscount papa. When she gets into one scrape too many, he sends her off to the wilds of Scotland to rethink her headstrong ways.
Anthony Jardine relished his role as curate, but his new duties as laird of Dungally aren’t always to his liking. Though he thought his new inheritance would be a blessing, somehow he’s finding nothing but trouble on these estates. And the intelligent, compassionate, feisty lass who was sent to rusticate in his territory is one of the biggest problems. He’s falling in love with her, but she doesn’t share the faith that’s his foundation—not to mention he’s been lying to her about who he really is. For the truth-loving Verity, that may be unforgivable.
The tangled web these two have woven may spell disaster for their happiness—and for the tenants of Dungally.
My review:
This was another wonderful story by Carolyn Miller! I loved this whole series and I've been looking forward to Verity's story since being introduced to her in the first book and it did not disappoint! She's such a wonderful character, so bright and witty, straightforward and honest but also cared so much about people. I really enjoyed the banter between her and Anthony, with their funny play on words. My heart broke for her and the pain she felt from how her parents viewed her and treated her instead of loving her for who she was. She had a hard time believing anyone, including God, would find her lovable. Anthony was also a great character, honorable, witty, self-sacrificing and a strong Christian. I admired his determination to keep God first and not become unequally yoked. He did want to be judged for himself, not being the laird, so he didn't tell everyone who he was at first and that lie of omission got out of hand. I also thought the scene at the end was a bit odd but I'm not sure how else it could have been resolved at that point. The romance was wonderful; I loved that we got both of their points of view. There was also some excitement with a horse race and an almost kidnapping! This book worked well as a stand-alone but I highly recommend the first two in the series about her sisters. This is definitely a must-read!
I received this book from Kregel Publications. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
