My Review and Rating:
Forever Winter by Amber DaultonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Susanna Lorican is set to wed Viscount Camden Beckinworth but it appears fate is not on their side. The wedding is set at Christmastime, and everything has been perfectly planned. Then the snowstorm hits and their minister is badly hurt. The roads are too dangerous to traverse, making the search for a new minister unattainable, the delivery of the wedding dress unthinkable, and the arrival the guests impossible. The wedding may have to be delayed until spring, distressing Susanna for more than one reason.
The marriage between Susanna and Camden is based on love rather than convenience or familial alliances. I found that to be a refreshing take on a historical romance. So many I read are based on what the groom or the bride’s parents can get out of marrying their daughter off. I know that’s the way that era was in the aristocracy, but Forever Winter was a breath of fresh air. Susanna and Camden are wonderful characters, the setting magical, and the story beautifully written.
The book does have some dark moments, however, and the author writes them with realism, tenderness, and care. Another problem with the regency era was the abuse and assault of women and the lies spread by their assaulters. The author does a remarkable job writing about this particular subject.
Thank you for the great review! I'm so happy you enjoyed Forever Winter.
