Time again for another review of a great book!

Synopsis

She wasn’t looking for love…

When Lucie Kennington flees the bright lights of London for the quiet Derbyshire countryside, she’s shocked to discover that the heir to the Bluebell Castle estate is far from the wizened employer she expected.

In fact, Arthur Ludworth might just be the most handsome man Lucie’s ever laid eyes on – and a terrible distraction! Sowhen she stumbles across a legendary painting feared lost for centuries, she can’t believe her luck – perhaps this is the hidden treasure to save Arthur and his family from ruin?

But it’s only a matter of time before Lucie’s past catches up with her and by then it’s too late, she’s falling for him…

My review

I am going to be brutally honest… when I started reading this book, I was kind of panicking…

Normally it takes me a couple of weeks to finish a book, being a working person, and not always having time to read chapter after chapter after chapter.

And thus receiving the book so close to the deadline, totally freaked me out…

I already saw myself neglecting work, family etc. just to finish the book on time and having also a small fear that I wouldn’t really enjoy this book.

But how wrong can someone be?

I started reading it, and before I knew, I read more than I initially wanted.

I

Just

Couldn’t

Put

The

Book

Away!!!

Every free minute I found, I continued reading as I had the need to know what going to happen next.

It’s the most common of lovestories, man meets woman, mutual attraction, trying to resist, giving in but then how to cope with secrets?

Is it because it all takes place in a castle? Or because there is a search for a hidden treasure? Or because I understand Lucie’s passion for art?

All of the above are plausible reasons that made this different than other more cliché stories.

It dragged me into it, I almost wanted to go over Bluebell Castle myself and submerge in that great fantasy…

Lucie is so recognizable, with her insecurities. And Arthur… oooh Arthur, how I wished you were actually a real man. But then of course, falling for me, instead of Lucie 😂.

So yes, I was very happy I liked the story so much that I had no problems with the deadline. But I was also sad, as I finished it so quickly…

But no worries for me, as I know that the next book of Bluebell Castle will be there (hopefully very soon!) so I can continue with living in that great castle, with all those amazing people!
