The Thief of Lanwyn Manor #ARC Review

In Regency England an advantageous match could set up a lady for life. Julia knows Matthew Blake, copper mine owner and very eligible bachelor, is the gentleman she should set her eyes upon. But why can’t she steal her gaze away from his younger brother, Isaac?

Cornwall, England, 1818

Julia Twethewey needs a diversion to mend her broken heart, so when her cousin invites her to Lanwyn Manor, Julia eagerly accepts. The manor is located at the heart of Cornwall’s mining industry, and as a guest Julia is swept into its intricate world. It’s not long, though, before she realizes something dark lurks within the home’s ancient halls.

As a respected mine owner’s younger son, Isaac Blake is determined to keep his late father’s legacy alive through the family business, despite his brother’s careless attitude. In order to save their livelihood—and that of the people around them—the brothers approach the master of Lanwyn Manor with plans to bolster the floundering local industry. Isaac can’t deny his attraction to the man’s charming niece, but his brother has made clear his intentions to court the lovely visitor. And Isaac knows his place.

When tragedy strikes, mysteries arise, and valuables go missing, Julia and Isaac find they are pulled together in a swirl of strange circumstances, but despite their best efforts to bow to social expectations, their hearts aren’t so keen to surrender.

Sweet Regency Romance Full-length novel, approximately 90,000 words. Second in the Cornwall series, but can be read alone.

Synopsis

Dear Lord,
I need Your help and sooner would be better than later. Wouldn't you know it, just as soon as I decide to attempt the 5-Day Bible Study Challenge, my parents start heaping on loads of pressure to get me into Julliard. My friend Amy isn’t any better, urging me to ask Luke Ryan to homecoming. As if the cute, transfer jock would actually go out with me. I mean, we’re kinda friends, and I’ve enjoyed our Geometry study sessions, but in case Amy hasn’t noticed, I’m the invisible one at Aubrey Christian Academy, and I like it that way. On top of that, I have a feeling Luke’s concealing something behind those chocolate-brown eyes of his. I know I can be self-centered and a bit melodramatic, but I really do want to seek Your will for my life. Then maybe I’ll even figure out which direction points up.

Sinopse

Querido senhor,

Preciso de sua ajuda e mais cedo seria melhor do que mais tarde. Você não saberia, assim que eu decidir tentar o Desafio do Estudo da Bíblia de 5 Dias, meus pais começarão a acumular muita pressão para me levar para Julliard. Minha amiga Amy não é melhor, pedindo-me para pedir Luke Ryan para homecoming. Como se o bonito, transferência jock realmente iria sair comigo. Quero dizer, somos amigos, e eu gostava de nossas sessões de estudo de Geometria, mas caso Amy não tenha notado, eu sou o invisível na Aubrey Christian Academy, e eu gosto dessa maneira. Além disso, tenho a sensação de que Luke esconde algo atrás daqueles olhos castanho chocolate. Eu sei que posso ser egocêntrico e um pouco melodramático, mas eu realmente quero buscar Sua vontade para a minha vida. Então talvez eu até descubra que direção aponta para cima.

Atenciosamente, Andrea Jamison
