Description
From USA Today bestselling author Josie Riviera comes the third heart-warming novel in the Romany Gypsy Seeking Series.
Do people prove their worth by strength, or by character?
Half-Romany, half-English lord, he lives a perilous Gypsy life … until a sweet English rose saves his life, and perhaps his soul. Widowed by a cruel husband, she's given up all hope of love. Brought together in peril, they dare to reach for a brighter future together.
Luca Boldor, Romany leader, lives a nomad’s life in Regency England with his Gypsy caravan. Believing his noble father abandoned him at birth, he refuses to acknowledge his English blood, or live a settled life. But when a vicious attack by a rival leaves him bleeding on an English lady's doorstep, he has no choice but to accept her help. Her gentle faith stirs his heart in a way he has long denied.
Lady Patience Blakwell, widowed countess, lives in near poverty. Her husband's heir uses threats to keep her from demanding her rightful inheritance. With a few faithful servants, she exists quietly in the country, only her faith keeping her strong … until the day a bold, handsome Gypsy collapses in her hall. He's unlike any man she's ever known, and she'll confront any subterfuge to keep him safe.
But when a secret from Lady Patience's past emerges, Luca must face his own past, or lose her and all hope of love. Will this strong man humble himself to open his heart for his lady?
AMAZON 4.5 STARS
What a great story with great main characters. I really liked it. Who would have thought that so such danger would surround an honorable, innocent widow like Patience? But then again, life has NOT treated her fairly at all! But that is also something that Luca has in common with Patience. He has been treated brutally for years. And he loathes the English with ever fiber of his body. But he also has some pretty valid reasons. Their first meeting is definitely dramatic.
There are several good secondary characters in this story. Patience has two servants who are as close as family. Both, Penham and Amelia do everything they can to help Patience even though their power to do so is limited.
Pulko is someone close to Luca as he leads the Gypsy tribe. He also proves himself stronger and stronger as he continues to remain loyal to Luca.
There is threats, and violence and even in the midst of all of that there is also a blossoming love. They couldn't be further apart in status and ways of living but they still are so drawn to each other. There are secrets concerning not only Luca but also a very clear threat towards Patience that is shrouded in secrecy. She's being accused of something that she did not do and it's very serious. Luca has secrets around himself as well but it's more like truths that have been withheld from him.
There is a well fought for H.E.A. that both of the M.C.'s well deserve.
