When he wakes up, he has no idea who he is, and is injured and recovering from a fever. Knowing that she just can't leave him out, she beings him inside her cottage, and stays by his bedside. When she finds a stranger slipping from his horse and falling on his head. She has been living in a small cottage making it by on honey and the garden. Maddy along with her five young siblings, are all orphans since their father passed away. Unfortunately the content is weak.į I had to sum up this book in a word, it would be ‘generic’. The author writes well, if you ignore the anachronistic bloopers. are vanquished and the heroine proves her aristrocratic background with a perfectly executed curtsy. A bunch of forgettable anatagonysts-mean gossips, miserly crooks, et al. The hero proves to be not what he seems, neither does the heroine. Once the stranger recovers first his consciousness and then his memory, two or three story lines begin to develop, none of them interesting enough to keep this reader’s attention. A nice meet-cute, but the annoyingly perfect kids should have started the alarm bells ringing. With the help of the brood of Trapp Family kids she’s raising, she takes in the injured stranger and nurses him back to consciousness and health. A handsome aristocrat is thrown from his horse and suffers head and leg injuries right outside of the cottage of a beautiful, intelligent, impoverished, hard-working Cinderella stereotype. An unoriginal pick-and-mix of historical romance tropes, unrelieved by either characterisation or narrative.
