Genre I reckon: Sweet Regency Romance + a ghosty or two
This is a very sweet Regency romance. Even the ghosts are kindly relatives.
Louisa is cast upon a great-aunt after the death of her father, and she finds herself going from riches to, well, not quite rags. But life is definitely different in tranquil Northumberland, compared to her lively Scarborough home.
The plot moves along at a steady, sedate pace. And the characters are brought to life with wonderful writing.
One of the ghosts wears a kilt and brings a lovely Scottish flair to this story which is set close to the border. Not scary at all.
Erasmus, the haunted great-grandson, has a stammer which he has been ridiculed for all his life. He has tried his best to overcome it, but there's still traces which has left him reluctant to socialise enough to pursue a wife.
This is my first Sally Britton book and I suspect it won't be my last.
A thoroughly enjoyable Regency tale with a treasure hunt!
* I received an ARC of this book but am voluntarily leaving a fair, honest review.
