Publisher's summary

In this sweet regency romance, two star-crossed lovers must contend with families on either side of the violent clash between progress and tradition.

Henry Stockton, heir to the Stockton fortune, returns home from three years at war seeking refuge from his haunting memories. Determined to bury the past, he embraces his grandfather’s plans to modernize the family’s wool mill, ignoring the grumblings from local weavers. When tragedy strikes shortly after his arrival, Henry will have to sort truth from suspicion if he is to protect his family’s livelihood and legacy.

Loyalty has been at the heart of the Dearborne family for as long as Kate can remember, but a war is brewing in their small village, one that has the power to rip families asunder - including her own. As misguided actions are brought to light, she learns how deep her father’s pride and bitterness run, and she begins to wonder if her loyalty is well-placed.

As unlikely adversaries, Henry and Kate must come together to find a way to create peace for their families, their village, and their souls - even if it means risking their hearts in the process.

NOT chick-lit. Great story, not so great narrator

This is a very good story about the war between weavers and mill owners during a transition period of industrialization. There were several subplots as well as the budding romance that requires the entire book to finally resolve itself. Well worth the credit and the time to listen.
The narrator reads very well but there were times when I couldn't tell which character was speaking in a two-way conversation between a man and a woman.
This is NOT chick lit. I enjoyed it very much.

Good Read!!

I loved this book. Sarah E. Ladd writing is always good. This is one of my favorite from her.

Enjoyable

I thought this was a great story. Its a different theme and style than I normally read, but that didn't pose any issues. There is a little romance, but compared to most books I read it was extremely mild. There was no sex, and only one kiss, which was fine. There was loyalty, and loyalty conflicts. Conflicts of progression and fear of change. I also had a couple actual legitimate shocks. I thought the narrating was fine. She did have different character voices than I’m familiar with, but that’s because the story was written in a different location than most of these type books. I bought this book on a 2 for 1 sale and I think it was worth the half credit.

Great Listen

Good narration. Interesting story. Wasn’t convinced by the romance, but thought everything was sweet overall nevertheless.

Pleasant story

Good read but not the author‘s best. The story’s Strange sudden end was not my favorite.

Well Worth a Read/Listen

This was my first Sarah Ladd book & I was pleasantly surprised. Her writing is exceptional! I could clearly picture each scene & emotion. The story was well planned & I was pleased with the ending. Also, the narrator, Nude Mason, was amazing!

Fantastic Read!!

This book is more than a love story, it is also an interesting look at how necessary progress may destroy a whole area's way of life. Truly intriguing!!

Great book

Oh loved this book and the narration was great. I look forward to more books written by this author.

Great listen

Loved this story. Gives us a different perspective on the industrial revolution. It was hard to accept change and technology. Sometimes tore families apart.
