The Visitor (The English Garden #3)
Tate's aunt Harriet offers to go with him to Collingbourne, where she meets the Steele family. Warm and caring, the Steele siblings are surprisingly generous to the newcomers. Tate doesn't need his vision to know that when this family reaches out, the unexpected is bound to happen. And happen it does when Tate finds himself falling in love. Just one question remains. Will one of the beautiful Steele sisters love him in return?
Sweet, steady, Regency romance with undertones of Jane Austen's classical writings.
The core problem with this book: It had all the negatives of a soap opera spin off from books 1&2.(1) there's a blue billion characters ie new characters carry the story while old characters are still visited, consulted and used as filler.(2) main character action is interrupted by uneventful scenes of conversations of other characters. Stretching a 15 chapter story to 22 chapters.(3) even main character actions are sometimes meaningless to the story ie character A speaks to B and then B
I liked this third book in the series. I wavered between 3 1/2 stars and 4. While the characters are endearing and enjoyable, I can't get past using modern phrasing when addressing Deity and also using modern scripture instead of the King James Bible. I think if you're going to place a story in the Regency era, you should at least try to keep with the customs of the time. This book was trying to decide whether it was a religious conviction story or a Regency romance. While I know you can do both
Lori Wick's nice,kind, storytelling,touches your heart.3 Sweet Stars.Listened with TTS.100% Clean.
The Visitor is my favorite Lori Wick book I've read and I've read it many times through the years. I can't help but love romance involving a blind character. This whole series is charming, but the third book is my absolute favorite. So romantic and sweet.
