#blogtour – Wednesday 13th March
Hi All
Welcome to my stop on this superb blog tour. I have a charming little number to introduce you to today, a book that was beautifully written and so easy to fall into. I have always had a soft spot for period drama writings, and this one was such a wonderful story to pore over.
Thanks as always must go to Rachel of Rachels Random Resources (www.rachelsrandomresources.com) and the wonderful author, Nicola Pryce (http://nicolapryce.co.uk)
The Cornish Lady was easy to digest and I fell in love with the characters and the world that they inhabited. I loved the detail in the writing and I adored the character interactions. More than once I pored over the pages eagerly as I wanted to read how the story would pan out.
Before I ramble on about this story, let me tell you a little bit about the author.

My Review
The book bio for this drew me in from the start. The fact that it was set in the beautiful area of Cornwall was invitation enough for me to start reading it, but I also loved the sound of the story. I love a story that is full of history and intrigue and this little beauty didn’t disappoint.
I adored the aristocratic air that this story had about it and I welcomed the intricately built love story that is hidden within. Angelica was a very likeable character from the start and I sympathised with the worry she had over her brother, who has fallen under the influence of Jacob, a man who is dark and dangerous.
My favourite character in the book was the mysterious, kind hearted Henry Trevelyan. The interaction between him and Angelica were very enjoyable to read and I loved how their stories intertwined.
This story was brilliant from start to finish and I was not disappointed with how it concluded. I loved the setting, I loved the era that it was set and I loved the characters. A perfect lazy afternoon read.
Conclusion
This was a wonderful read, one that I enjoyed from start to finish.
Rating – 4 out of 5 stars.
