Here is the link to my review of the first book
Summary
Fans of Downton Abbey, Jane Eyre, and Pride & Prejudice will enjoy this pure and inspiring romance taking place in Edwardian England amid a clash of cultures and changing times.
Eighteen-year-old Katherine Ramsey travels to London with her family to make her debut into society and hopefully find her future husband. Her overbearing aunt insists she must secure a proposal from a wealthy young man who is in line to inherit his father’s title and estate. But Katherine questions her aunt’s plans when she gets to know Jonathan Foster, a handsome medical student and strong Christian who is determined to protect the poor and vulnerable in London’s East End.
When a family scandal puts a damper on Katherine’s hopes for the season, she has time to volunteer with Jonathan, caring for children in one of London’s poorest areas, and romance blossoms. Katherine’s faith grows and she begins to envision a different future with Jonathan. But when Katherine’s work in the East End puts her in danger, Jonathan distances himself from Katherine to protect her. A wealthy suitor reappears, and Katherine must choose which path to follow.
My Thoughts
Set in the early 20th century Turansky has again painted a wonderful story for her readers to enjoy. This novel focuses on Katherine Ramsey, William's cousin, and Jon Foster, Julia's brother. I like how Turansky uses characters from the first book to develop more into the second book and most likely we will see more of these characters in the further books coming soon.
There is a lot to obsess about with this book. First, Jon is a keeper and Kate is a debutante that I actually like. Also, the drama that ensues that connects and brings these two together is Downtown Abbey worthy. Some authors aren't as talented as Turansky is at having more than one story line in a book. There are about four different stories lines that interconnect characters that can leave you fast reading through the book. I really liked the theme of family in this series. I can relate and understand each character who feels responsible and or trying to find a way to help their loved ones.
Nothing is lost in this novel. You get it all! It feels as if you have a little piece of England on your bookshelf. The cover is gorgeous. Plus, the romance is clean enough to where you could give this to a younger lady that you might know enjoys Jane Austen or any type of English setting. A must read for your ending yearly reading! Keep it on your radar!

About the Author
Turansky have been writing since 1999 and have published several articles, short stories, devotions, and essays. Writing fiction is her passion, and she thanks the Lord for all the creative ideas and characters He puts in her mind and heart. She is very thankful for friends and family who have believed in her and encouraged her on my writing journey.
When she is not writing you will find her enjoying time with family, working outside in her flower gardens, cooking healthy meals for family and friends, or walking around the lake near her home.
