I am so glad to be coming back to the Spindle Cove series this weekend! I missed reading about the strong willed ladies living in Spindle Cove!
In this novella, we were being introduced to Violet Winterbottom. A wallflower in a ballroom but a talented lady who can speak many different languages. Some of you might not remember Violet from the first book in the series, A Night to Surrender, but Violet was actually introduced in the first Chapter of the book! Here's a quote of her presence in Book 1:
“If Mrs. Highwood examined the young ladies too closely, she might notice that mild Gaelic obscenities occupied the center of Kate Taylor’s sampler. Or that Violet Winterbottom’s needle didn’t even have thread.”Now back to this book, it's the Spindle Cove Christmas Ball and it's also Violet's last night here. She was to head back to London the very next day as her parents' patience had ran out and they wanted to get her married off. However, a mysterious man came crashing through the ball and fell right before Violet's feet. Who is this mysterious who looked so familiar and had his eyes set only on Violet? I will have to stop here because I will be giving out spoilers if I goes on and on and on.
The book is only about 100 pages so it's a really quick and fun read for me. Despite the short length, the story was paced perfectly. We get to read about Violet's exciting and adventurous last night in Spindle Cove. An alpha male and an independent woman who can made up her own mind and say no when she really mean it. Unlike most historical romance, Spindle Cove always gave us strong women who can protect themselves against the bad guys. This is what set this series apart from other historical romance series.
The love between the two main characters was very touching and I like how we were told about their past and how their love survived through the long wait....TWICE!
This book is highly recommended to all historical romance lovers, but if you have not read the first book, go read that first!
