📽️ A Heart Adrift by Laura Franzt

So my mom liked this book a lot more than I did. I felt that it was too long. There were too many long passages that did nothing to move the story forward. The love story was sweet, but the whole book was bogged down by useless plot points or needless repetition. There were some parts of the book that were magical, and I still find myself randomly remembering those parts fondly, but as a whole this book was not the greatest. I would recommend it to others, but I wouldn’t read it again.

Rating: 6/10

The Rose and the Thistle

The Rose and the Thistle by Laura Frantz

Goodreads Blurb:

In 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England. Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known.

No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible.

Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts. Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies--and those who pretend friendship may be enemies.

Review:

Where do I even start with this one? Five stars for certain, for historical accuracy alone, but also for a beautiful story and wonderful characters as well!

I’ve become a fan of Frantz’ work due to her immaculate attention to tiny historical details and her beautiful storytelling. Which is saying something when the majority of my reads tend to be on the…raunchier…side of things. So when I will sit down and laud praises on an author who favors clean, much less Christian work—well you know something impressive is at work.

At any rate, this book is another hit for Frantz!

I’m absolutely in love with Blythe (and Everard too, to be fair *cough* dreamboat *cough*) and she has to be my current favorite Frantz-heroine. Something about her quiet intelligence and inner strength appealed to me more than any of the other Frantz heroines I’ve encountered over the years. Her companion, Elodie, has also become a fast favorite. All of the characters in this book are so well written. They’re well written without being flawless and all the more realistic for it! And I have to mention, how much Orin holds a place in my heart here. Too precious. But the point is, that Frantz’ characters are a huge reason why this story is so successful and I love them.

Moving on to the story itself, I found both the political and personal plots very interesting, if a little slow to start with quite a bit packed into the end, but sometimes, that’s how the best stories go. I found Blythe and Everard’s romance to be incredibly sweet and well-paced. It’s a wonderful example of a beautiful slow-burn romance! I also loved Blythe’s interactions with Everard’s brothers, particularly Orin. Something about seeing people’s families fall in love with their soon to be significant other always makes me happy.

On to the historical aspects of the plot, I found myself overjoyed and in awe of Frantz’ work. I’m a historian by trade so seeing the little details like colored hair/wig powder at the French court (page 22) always endear a story to me. It shows how much research Frantz puts into these books and I love seeing accurate representations of historical times. But this time I found myself more impressed with the overall plot than the tiny details, and that’s unusual for me. Having this story center around the 1715 Rising I expected to have the usual main characters be Protestant British Hanoverian Royalists against the Catholic Scottish Jacobites, so it was very intriguing to see a Protestant Scottish Hanoverian Royalist pitted against Catholic British Jacobites. As a historian, I know there were supporters of both houses on both sides of the Britain-Scotland border, but literature tends to have more Scottish Jacobites than English and it was really fun to see the opposite so well done! I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again, Frantz’ work is so well researched; she is a master of historical fiction. And she has certainly done herself justice here, once again!

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
