Book 2 of 2: Unexpected Brides
"All her life, Emma did what she was told… until love taught her to speak."
Emma Jenkins has always faded into the background; quiet, obedient, unseen. But when a stranger arrives with questions about her family’s past, he sees her. Truly sees her…
Graham Barrow expected to find a lost heiress, not a young woman treated like a servant in her own home. Drawn to her strength and silenced spirit, he vows to help her uncover the truth, and claim the life she was never allowed to live.
A story of quiet defiance, buried secrets, and the unexpected love that sets a woman free.
review titled: A Tender Love that overcomes all the Lies
Graham was quite the surprise. Emma's first meeting with him proved to startle her and not trust him. But turns out he really was a good guy ! It takes Emma quite a while to see that in him but when she does, she falls hard ! Graham was the first to fall hard for Emma. Even with her dowdy clothes and her beautiful hair, scrapped back off her face, But, that silvery eyes, got his attention right away !
As he hangs around, he gets an eye full of what's been going on in that household ! And none of it is good ! He plans on correcting that and he ends up doing just that in some pretty clever ways ! Ooh, that Aunt and cousin of hers made me SO mad !
Treating her like a "slave" in her own home, giving her servants quarters, little personal money, giving her dowdy hand-me down dresses, and just in general, making her look as ugly as possible. Hey, why let her get married or do anything that would take her away from being their servant. That's what they always thought. They WEREN'T happy to see Graham enter the picture and did everything that they could to prevent him from interfering. That is until the cousin took it upon herself to try to snare Graham, the rich, handsome YOUNG, man. She put Emma in some pretty dangerous situations through her greed and jealousy.
Her father, was blissfully unaware of what was going on with Emma. She was protecting him because he had been so critically ill. Lies, abound in that household but they will be exposed. And when they do? Oh, boy, it's awesome how the tables get turned !
I adored the happy ending that Emma and Graham get with just a little bit of sadness but a whole lot of joy also at the end.
