A Georgian Era Romance

ABOUT THE BOOK

Seth Braxton, a patriot of the American Revolution, unexpectedly inherits his loyalist grandfather’s estate in England. Seth is torn between the land he fought for and the prospect of reuniting with his sister Caroline, who was a motherless child taken to England at the onset of the war.

With no intention of staying permanently, Seth arrives to find his sister grieving over the death of her young son. In the midst of such tragedy, Seth meets Juleah, the daughter of an eccentric landed gentleman. Her independent spirit and gentle soul steal Seth’s heart. After a brief courtship, they marry and she takes her place as the lady of Ten Width Manor, enraging the man who once sought her hand and schemed to make Ten Width his own. From the Virginia wilderness to the dark halls of an isolated English estate, Seth and his beloved Juleah inherit more than an ancestral home. They uncover a sinister plot that leads to murder, abduction, and betrayal–an ominous threat to their new life, love, and faith.

MY THOUGHTS

Author Rita Gerlach is a new-to-me author, and I loved this book. I was transported away to a time of manor homes, horse and carriages, and faithful servants. The English countryside grew before my eyes as Rita skillfully detailed the surroundings.

If you haven’t watched the book trailer, please watch it! The book is every bit as good and intriguing as the trailer says it is!

To me, Surrender the Wind is not only Seth’s story but also his sister Caroline’s story. Both of them along with Juleah are wonderfully developed characters. I’m hoping that the author plans to continue the Braxton family story now that they live in America.

If you enjoy historical fiction, I have to give this book a definite thumbs up to put on your reading list!
