The
widow is a traditional regency romance with a mystery woven throughout. I loved it!
Nell
Caldicott once was a happy young woman who ran away from her family to marry
her one true love. They were happy the
first few years of their marriage until one day, her husband’s fortunes turned
with the sinking of his ship. Violent
and angry, Jude took his anger out on his bride. Reduced to living in fear of her husband on
meager wages, Nell tries to find ways to survive. After his untimely death, Nell discovers that
her husband was hiding many secrets. What
was Jude trying to run away from?
Nathan
Harbottle meets Nell as she waits for Jude as he searches for his long-lost
cousin. Nathan finds himself instantly attracted
to the beautiful married lady, but he moves on to continue the search. When he finds himself thrown in her path
again, he can’t help but to aid her and admire her.
I love
regency stories, especially clean stories.
I love the time period. This novel
had great well-developed characters and I enjoyed the mystery that was woven throughout
the story. This is a first in a series
and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!

Quotes:
“We
can all play the game of ‘if only,’ but it is a game with no winners, only
losers.”
Overall,
The Widow is a perfect Regency mystery romance.
