"Adoring Abigail"
Adoring Abigail review
Romance, period, clean;
Abigail and Robert's story was sweetly done. Abigail's speech impediment, her mistreatment by her family, and all the unkindness heaped upon her, was so disheartening. Robert and his family's acceptance, kindness, and general goodness to her, opened up her heart to being herself around them. Robert's building attraction to her as he navigated his new position and established his home at his inherited estate, with the addition of his sister and mother, figuring out the small town intricacies and social structures and norm, while remaining true to who he was, was honest, real, and made for a good problem for him to face. The Vicar, her grandmother and other characters were slightly flat for me, but since they were more minor characters, that was ok. Lovely setting between the house, the gardens, and the contrast with the cottage. Abigail's confidence building as she becomes more comfortable with the Wilkins' family was lovely. Her heart grew as well. Lovely, heartfelt read, with honest, hurting characters that made for a lovely read. 3.5 stars, a good read for me.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review, my opinions are my own.
Plus the cover! Sigh!
