MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n I enjoyed the first two books in Ladd’s Whispers on the Moors<\/em><\/strong> series so I opened “A Lady at Willowgrove Hall” with anticipation. Within the first page or two I was totally immersed and did not want to put the book down – even to sleep. Sarah has a special talent for drawing her readers into the story and making them feel a part of it.<\/p>\n “A Lady at Willowgrove Hall” is a story about secrets – secrets that seem to grow larger and more burdensome each day.\u00a0 The very lives of three of the characters have been grievously affected by these secrets. Cecily’s secret weighs her down with shame and feelings of unworthiness; Nathaniel’s has kept his secret in order to protect his mother and sisters; and Mrs. Trent has allowed her secret to cause her to grow bitter and unforgiving toward Nathaniel and his family despite their innocence.<\/p>\n I liked the way Cecily and Mrs. Trent grew to care for each other despite the negative warnings shared with Cecily when she first arrived at Willowgrove Hall. Nathaniel’s mother and sisters were special secondary characters who added depth and humor to the tale. There were moments when I was unsure whether Cecily would choose Nathaniel or allow herself to be swayed by Andrew, a man from her past. I think she made the right choice.<\/p>\n I loved the way Sarah handled the subject of secrets and how they gain control of one’s life as well as the freedom that comes after bringing the shadows of the past into the light. I highly recommend “A Lady at Willowgrove Hall” as well as the other two books in this series. I look forward to Sarah’s next series.<\/p>\n This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n Her secret cloaks her in isolation and loneliness.<\/strong><\/em> Cecily Faire carries the shame of her past wherever she treads, knowing one slip of the tongue could strip away everything she holds dear. But soon after accepting the position of lady\u2019s companion at Willowgrove Hall, Cecily finds herself face-to-face with a man well-acquainted with the past she\u2019s desperately hidden for years.<\/p>\n Nathaniel Stanton has a secret of his own \u2013 one that has haunted him from birth and tied him to his father\u2019s position as steward of Willowgrove. To protect his family, Nathaniel dares not breath a word of the truth. But as long as the shadow looms over him, he\u2019ll never be free to find his own way in the world. He\u2019ll never be free to fall in love.<\/p>\n When the secrets swirling within Willowgrove Hall come to light, Cecily and Nathaniel must confront a painful choice: Will they continue running from the past . . . or will they stand together and build a future without the suffocating weight of secrets long suffered?<\/p>\n Learn more and purchase a copy at Sarah\u2019s site<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n Find out more about Sarah at http:\/\/www.sarahladd.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n New Regency from @SarahLaddAuthor AND a Kindle HDX giveaway!<\/strong><\/p>\n Award-winning author Sarah E.
