My Thoughts: I love the cover of this book.
This is wonderful stand alone regency-era read is as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
Reading this story made me think of Romeo and Juliet but in Yorkshire, England.
Poor Henry he has no idea that as he returns from serving his country that everything he left is going to all be the same.
He finds out that his grandfather has become harsher with the local weavers. thus, causing some ill will.
Charles Dearborne one of the weavers crosses that line and causes some great ill will. Kate loves her father but she also loves Henry.
Kate wants to marry Henry but both Henry's family and Kate's do not want the couple to join.
