The Love Note

Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at the seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor.

Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings--mostly negative ones--about the man who wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of enticing clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she misplaces the letter and it passes from person to person in the house, each finding a thrilling or disheartening message in its words.

Laced with mysteries large and small, this romantic Victorian-era tale of love lost, love deferred, and love found is sure to delight. 

 My Rating: 4 Stars

What a fun story! I liked the premise of the mystery letter and the historical backdrop made for an excellent read. The characters were perfect for the story and I loved the addition of a real life historical figure. The book had almost a lyrical quality to it and I felt immersed in it early on. Beautiful story.

I received this book as a member of the launch team and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
