I also appreciated the progression of the romance between Rose and Rylan plus the bit of mystery and intrigue that affected their lives. Historical facts about the pottery industry as well as descriptions of how the pottery was made gave the book even more authenticity. Although I pretty much guessed early on who was behind undermining their business, there were still enough surprises and drama to hold my interest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Potter&#8217;s Lady&#8221; will join &#8220;The Brickmaker&#8217;s Bride on my keeper shelf. If you enjoy a good historical romance, both of these books should appeal to you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10857\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>This book was provided for review by Bethany House, a division of Baker Publishing Group.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>In the beautiful rolling hills of West Virginia, Rose McKay seeks a measure of success&#8211;in business and in love.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When Rose McKay convinces her brother, Ewan, to invest in a pottery business, she&#8217;s determined to assist him in making the endeavor a success.

He just wishes Rose wouldn&#8217;t insist on changing the way they do things.
