Welcome to the Blog Tour for Dawn’s Untrodden Green by Carolyn Miller, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
MY REVIEW:
Carolyn Miller has become a favorite author, especially her Regency era romance novels. Dawn’s Untrodden Green, whose title is based on a line from a poem, may just be at the top of the list. Neither the hero nor the heroine are what readers expect in a romance novel. Yes, Daniel is a military hero but he is not the tall, charming, and handsome man the townspeople are anticipating. And most cannot see past the birthmark that mars the beauty of Theodosia’s face and have relegated her to spinster status.
This book is delightful! I loved the wry humor of both Theodosia and Daniel and the almost instant connection and understanding between them. It was obvious that there would be a romance but I had no idea how much fun it would be to watch it develop.
There are more than one lesson to be learned from Dawn’s Untrodden Green. One is the obvious not to judge by outward appearance and the other is how difficult it can be to keep up with an untruth once it is told.
Do yourself a favor and grab a copy or even the entire series. I do not think you will be sorry.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by JustReads Publicity. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Title: Dawn’s Untrodden Green Series: Regency Wallflowers #3 Author: Carolyn Miller Publisher: Kregel Publications Release Date: April 11, 2023 Genre: Christian Historical Romance |
“Highly entertaining, refreshing, and witty. . . . [A] beautifully written, delightful, and faith-filled romance of two endearing hearts.” –Grace Hitchcock, award-winning author of My Dear Miss Dupré |
Not much happens in Theodosia Stapleton’s tiny Northumberland village. Certainly not to her. She has resigned herself to spinsterhood, caring for her ailing mother in the home of her grandfather, known to the locals as “General Contrary.” When her dear friend dies and leaves behind a daughter, it’s simple enough to take the child into her own quiet world. That is, until her ward’s famous uncle unexpectedly arrives and throws Theo’s tidy orbit completely off-kilter.
Fame was the last thing Daniel Balfour sought when he fought in the Peninsular War. But his brave exploits caught the attention of the King, and now the honors he was given hound him everywhere . . . even on his rushed trip to rescue his orphaned niece.
Theo’s quick wit and warm smile reassure him that Rebecca is in good hands, and he finds himself free to swiftly return to London and his responsibilities. But those caring hands are beginning to look like they could also safely hold his heart, and he’s tempted to linger. Unfortunately, marriage is simply not in the cards; the army is spouse enough for him.
Then an accident and a scandal lead both Theo and Daniel to discover that their best-laid plans may not have been what God designed for them after all.
