I think perhaps my favorite part was getting to know Arabella, and seeing her faith both grow and be tested as she learned to accepted her role, not to be owned, but to grow in her faith and to let her newfound strength help others. I loved meeting the cast in this one, all of the characters were fun and interesting to read about. I was right! I enjoyed her The Lost Princesses series, and Jody Hedlund's latest is just as good, maybe better! I don't read a whole lot of historical fiction, but I do enjoy it when I find the right book, and this series has been showing up quite a lot on my radar lately, so I was ecstatic to have the chance to read this one! (And on a personal note, I think there might have been I reason I read this 'series' out of order!) I loved all the messages of hope, love, faith, family, healing strength, and forgiveness in this! I plan to read the first The Reluctant Bride soon, but this series can easily be read as stand-alones, so it doesn't matter, they are more companion novels with some similar characters and setting mentioned, but the story-lines are each their own. *I received an early copy from the publisher.
