The Rose and the Thistle
The Rose and the Thistle: A Novel | Laura Frantz
7 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
In 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England. Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known. No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible. Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts. Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies--and those who pretend friendship may be enemies.

Thank you to Revell for sending me this FREE COPY to review for them!! This was The 4th Novel I've read by Laura Frantz, Author which is safe to say she's one of MY Favorite Historical Fiction Authors as of recent. The way she captivated the readers attention with the facts and research she does to make the story enjoyable is why she's a favorite of mine. The Characters were so interesting and enjoyable to read about.

Through beautiful and skilled writing, I was deeply drawn into the storyline of this novel. Every time I picked up this book, I time traveled to Scotland in the early 1700‘s. I saw the beautiful gardens, inhaled the various scents, tasted their food, heard the bagpipes and fiddles and felt the emotions of the characters that I came to love. I highly recommend this book!

“Blessedly alone, Blythe sought an upholstered bench in a little alcove where she was hidden from sight, uncaring about the crush of her violet taffeta skirts.”

Wonder what that is about? Check out the full post.
