In the first book of the series, Winning Miss Winthrop, we are left wondering what will happen to Lord Winthrop's sister, Julia, as she runs away to marry Major Thomas Hale against her family's wishes. Now that her husband is no where to be found, Julia contemplates returning home as she is without money for basic human needs. Will her family forgive her for betraying them?
This book explores whether certain sins are too bad to be forgiven. Many times in christian circles, sin is seen as being on different tiers for severity instead of seeing all sin as grievous before God. Of course, different sins do have different consequences. I liked that the author asks the reader through the characters "what do you believe about forgiveness?" The story is interesting as more and more mystery arises as to where Major Hale has been and why he was gone. I like trying to solve a good mystery. I didn't like the major indiscretion by Major Hale after he was married. It kinda sullied the story line for me. I did think that this final book did wrap-up the series well and didn't leave any loose ends concerning the main characters.
Carolyn Miller is writing another set of Regency Brides novels called the Daughters of Aynsley. Which should be interesting since we are introduced to Miss Hatherleigh Aynsley in The Making of Mrs. Hale.
