In Sickness And In Health: An intriguing Regency romance (The Yorkshire Saga Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Valerie Holmes (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 19 ratings

A Regency adventure story you need to get your hands on! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Jane Aiken Hodge and Jane Austen.

Will Sophia be ruled by her head or her heart…?

1809, Yorkshire

Ten years ago Sophia Baxtor-Lodge’s world was torn apart when her mother died in childbirth.

Her father, Sir Kenneth, became cold and distant, and Sophie sought comfort in the only friend she had ever known – the stable lad, Isaac.

But when Sir Kenneth found Sophia and Isaac locked in an embrace he drove them both out in a fury.

Isaac was sent to fight for his country in the Peninsula Wars, and Sophia was shipped off to a Ladies College.

Now Sophia is back at Fenton Hall, helping organise the estate on behalf of her father’s new, much younger, wife Cynthia.

Sir Kenneth is determined to marry Sophia off before she gets up to any more mischief, and introduces her to the charismatic trader, Mr Lucas Huntley.

But Sophia’s heart still lies elsewhere…

Can Sophia ever repair her relationship with her father? Will she obey him and marry Mr Huntley?

Or will Isaac find a way to come back to her?

IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH is a stunning traditional British, Regency romance novel full of adventure and espionage, with a love story at its heart.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but something’s missing
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2020

    2.5 stars rounded up to 3. I enjoyed the story, but I felt like something was missing. I think flashbacks may have helped in this case. And the characters seemed inconsistent in their personalities, though their intentions never wavered.

    I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly good read

    It's been a while since I read anything that could be called romantic fiction but I really enjoyed this. The Regency period comes alive through the author's subtle descriptions and realistic dialogue. The characters are well drawn and believable so that I was able to invest in them and genuinely care about their fate. I found the author's knowledge of the period both informative and interesting so as a reader i was "there" without having to wade through over long descriptive passages. Having discovered the saga at book four I'm now going to go back and read the other three!

    A lively and captivating book that is very thoughtfully written. As someone who knew little about this period of history, I found In Sickness and in Health, which is set in the early nineteenth century, to be a fascinating insight into the lives of North Yorkshire’s stratified social classes.

    If you are a fan of historical fiction - this is one to go for!

    From the moment I started to read I was hooked, & sucked into the, storyline, so much so that I didn't want to put it down. Valerie's writing gets better and better. I am looking forward to reading Valerie's next book.
