Embrace the Day

It was an ok read but not my cup of tea.

Genevieve Elliot finds herself married by proxy to an older businessman in Virginia, and she’s on the same ship with her very good friend who’s been married off to Roarke Adair, who has no idea she’s got a bun in the oven. This is way too complicated to try and explain, just go with the flow. Genevieve finds herself a widow before she’s truly a wife, and she’s inherited all of his debts. The rest of the first half covers Genevieve’s efforts to work the little plot of land she does have, pay off her creditor, and that takes precedence over everything else; including her strong attraction to the recently widowed Roarke. The latter half of the book carries into the next generation as Adair family strikes out for a fresh life in Kentucky.

Yes, there’s more to it than that, but I have other books to read and other things to do today, so I’m cutting this review short. The story begins just prior to the Revolutionary war through the early 1800s. An enjoyable read, but not earth shattering, and despite the romancy looking covers this book would be better classified as historical fiction.

I loved this very emotional story set in the hills of Virginia. Several times while reading it tears came to my eyes because you are so drawn to this family, their accomplishments and pain touch your heart. I enjoy the history along with the story, I put it down with the feeling not only had I read a wonderful novel I learned something along the way. Another highly recommended story! You MUST pick this one up!
