Can she set aside the
pain from the past to embrace a new love?
Isabelle Wardrop's
well-to-do life has completely unraveled. Within months, she's lost both her
parents, her fortune, and her home. With nowhere else to turn, she and her
younger sister move in with a trusted former servant in an impoverished area of
the city. Desperate for work but having no qualifications, Isabelle is forced
to accept help from Dr. Mark Henshaw, the very man she blames for her mother's
death.
Mark Henshaw has
admired Isabelle for several months, but after the tragic death of her mother,
he vows to make amends for the past and help her find her way. But when Mark
learns his younger brother has formed an undesirable friendship with Isabelle's
sister--one that brings a whole new set of problems into their lives--he
doesn't know if Isabelle will ever forgive him.
When startling
developments begin to take place, both within Isabelle's heart and their
siblings' relationship, her future looks very different than anything she could
have imagined.

Thoughts:
A Feeling
of Home by Susan Anne Mason
returns readers to Canada and the house owned by Ruth and Olivia, whose stories
are told in the first two books in the series. With the lose of their parents
and their lifestyle, Isabelle and her younger sister Marissa are thrown into a
world they have never encountered before. The plot is sweet and moving while
the romance is a typical romance for a historical romance or any genre for that
matter. Deny the feelings. Reality check. Someone does something to make the
other person upset, then the romance goes to the side. But then they reconcile
and everything moves back toward the happily-ever-after moment. The strongest
point of the novel is Mason’s idea of being nice to everyone no matter what
situation they find themselves currently in because you do not know what
happened to put them in that position. Everyone deserves another chance or 70
because it is everyone’s duty to love others. Overall, A Feeling of Home
by Susan Anne Mason is a sweet story that reminds readers that home is not the
physical place you reside in, but where the love and support of others develop
and encircle you. Definitely a delightful story filled with a memorable lesson.
