The Red Cottage by Hannah Linder

Book Description:  Meg Foxcroft has never minded the tattling village gossip or her uncle’s ill-tempered rebukes. After all, she has Tom McGwen—and one day, they will build their own cottage, paint it red, and live a wonderful life.

But then the unthinkable happens. Meg is attacked, her uncle’s apothecary shop goes up in flames, and when she wakes up in the arms of an eloquent lord, she remembers nothing. Not even her own name.

In a frantic race against time, Tom plunges into dangerous water, bent on sheltering Meg from harm and discovering who wants her dead. Even if she despises him. Even if it’s now the handsome lord she casts her smile upon.

As danger swells and truth comes crashing around them, Meg must confront the past and decide who she trusts—and loves—before the enemy makes the final strike.

My Thoughts:  A new to me author who does not disappoint.

This story of hardship and love takes on a new vibe when it comes to Gothic Style Regencies.

Meg Foxcroft grabs the readers heart and just when all seems lost life seems to get even more difficult for Meg.

And then so many things begin to happen and Meg really doesn't remember a thing.

Then Tom, whom Meg really doesn't like at all decides that he is the only one who can find out what is happening to Meg. 

Is it her uncle?  The mean bully acting out and trying to look innocent?  Or is it someone with a vendetta against Meg and her family and Meg is in the way?

Such a great read with just enough action and adventure to lure the reader into the love life of Meg and what her choices will bring her.

You'll want to read this mix of mystery and gothic regency. 

A not to be missed story!
