​My Review

I've not read anything by Sarah Ladd before, and I've had this book for a couple of years and I'd never gotten round to reading it.  However, I was flicking through my kindle yesterday and came across this book.  It is a Christian regency romance, a genre I am particularly keen on, and I must say I was remarkably impressed. Ladd has a lovely voice, and 'A Stranger at Fellsworth' is a real page-turner. If you're looking for a sweet, clean romance story with a gentle Christian message, then this book is for you. Her style reminded me of writer Julie Klassen, another Christian Regency author.  Sometimes I do find regency to be a little slow-paced and dialogue driven, however this book had moments of action coupled with moments of tenderness.  A thoroughly enjoyable read, one which I highly recommend. and I look forward to reading more by this author. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. ​Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
