Now to stalk my mail box for next month's books. :D I have purposefully saved this review for the very last day so no one forgets to pick this one up!

*My Thoughts*
I wish I could be one of those people that can start out by saying, "I have long been in love with Laura Frantz's writing", but alas, I cannot. I can say however that I have been in love with her writing ever since the very first page I read of Love's Fortune! Laura truly did open the doors to my love of all things Historical Fiction and has helped show me the beauty of our past! I proceeded to BEG for every single book she had ever written...I'm only missing one which I plan to have by this Christmas!
This is one of the most well written stories I have EVER read and most definitely the best marriage of convenience story. There is nothing ordinary about this story! From the very first page, I was obsessed with Sophie Menzies and shockingly I found a new favorite man-at least for now! (Sorry Silas...James!)
I found Sophie and Seamus' relationship to be the sweetest thing and completely realistic! Their struggles were completely understandable and their little girl was an absolute doll. I was in love before I ever opened the book! I loved her hair so much, I had my darling sister imitate it on me! You can see the pictures on my blog. :)
As usual, the history within the pages is priceless. Absolutely one of the best books I have ever read, hands down. Laura turned a sweet story into a work of art, and I can't wait for her next novel! As it is, I've already read this one four times in a month!

*My overall thoughts*
An intricate story on how two people struggled to find love in the midst of heartache, The Mistress at Tall Acre is a true gem!
