Book Summary
Hazel Mae Hollingsworth is devastated following the unexpected death of her father, and she can't shake a sense of foreboding when the family solicitor arrives at the estate. Her intuition turns out to be well founded, for her father's will reveals a long-held family secret—Hazel's entire life has been a lie. Within hours of receiving the news, she is turned out by the man she once called her brother, dispossessed with little more than her mother's instruction to seek refuge with her father's sister.
Refuge she finds and so much more. Hazel is overwhelmed by the kind welcome she receives from Aunt Madge and her family, who warmly invite her into their fold. With the loving support of family, Hazel begins to untangle the mysterious circumstances surrounding her birth. She finds a renewed sense of peace as she rebuilds the puzzle of her life and embarks on a romance she never expected. But when the shocking truth of her heritage is revealed, Hazel is forced to reconcile her painful past with the future she envisions.
My Review
Home to Somersby was such a pleasant surprise! I read a lot of Regency Romance and right off the bat, this novel took a shocking turn which hooked me into the story. We meet Hazel Mae Hollingsworth and her family who have suffered the tragedy of losing their head of their family, father Horace Hollingsworth. After the reading of her father's will, a long-buried secret is revealed that not only changes Hazel's life but those of her family members.
I was somewhat astonished at Hazel's brother, Clarence's actions. He showed such cruelty towards his sister. The story really took off for me when she travels to her cousin's home of Somersby. This family was absolutely delightful and memorable. I loved Aunt Marge, and cousins Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Johnna. The love and kindness of this family made me instantly warm to these characters. Hazel is a beautiful and sweet souled lady that makes the reader want what is best for her. As more of her background is uncovered the bigger the mystery becomes until a shocking conclusion is revealed in the end. I don't want to give anything away but I do want to add that the romance between Hazel and an unnamed man is very touching and sweet.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Regency Romance because of the twists and turns that made its story quite unique. I especially loved the pages that started each chapter with beautiful dragonflies that have special meaning to Hazel. I recommend this clean romance to all readers.
