Atoning for Ashes: A Novel by Kaitlin Covel

Josie Chadwick dreams of marrying for love in Cornwall, England, but with her father’s debt threatening to destroy all she holds dear, her romantic options are dwindling. When her elder sister Delia is disowned, Josie finds herself heiress of Chadwick Park, torn between dreams and duty. After sacrificing her heart to atone for Delia’s sin, Josie clings to the hope she will learn to love a distant husband, whom she fears is incapable of requiting her affection.

Charles Radcliffe’s heart has been scarred and hardened by rejection. He fears hurting his new bride, but his fears of betrayal and rejection are stronger, making it impossible for him to trust her love―let alone the love of her God.

As Josie and Charles face their new life together, ominous events warn of dark family secrets that could shatter them both. More than a loveless marriage is at stake if they cannot stand as one. Will they learn to trust God and each other before it’s too late?

my point of view:

What a wild ride this story will take you on! I am always down for a fun romance, a historical timeline and a suspenseful mystery – but to get all three in one amazing novel is such a treat! This story starts off as being a story of obligation by a young woman who feels like her entire family’s survival depends upon her. This is a huge burden for one young girl to carry, but Josie feels like she is up for the task. Willing to sacrifice any dreams she may have of a future in order to secure her father and sister’s fate, Josie manages to get herself married in order to save their family’s home.

She always dreamed of marrying for love, and she is not ready to give up on that chance with her husband. They must go through some very serious personal journeys – and many twists and turns – and the surprises just kept coming! The adventure gets quite scary, and some may even say “dark” but I wouldn’t take it that far…I mean, we all go through difficult times in our lives, and I, for one, enjoy reading how others can face the struggles and come out on the other side! What I truly loved most about this story is the faith element, even when the characters faith gets tested to the very limits, they still manage to come back stronger in their beliefs. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great faith based historical romance – with a good dose of suspense thrown in!

  1. Victoria era is my favorite. People got excited over new things. I mean really excited.

  2. I enjoy novels set in most any time setting, but I have a weakness for books set in the 1800’s. Just such a romantic, yet turbulent era. Stay safe. Happy Mother’s Day!

  3. I love most time periods but if I had to pick one it would probably be Regency. This book’s been on my radar since it’s release and I still haven’t been able to read it. I’ve gotta do that!

  5. I love the Regency era.
    The fashion, &
    There was so much happening, just on the cusp of some discoveries that had been made, the age of the industrial revolution was begining.
    The french revolution, the Scottish rebellions, the US, Canada, India, Asia.
    The Us independence, Boston tea party.
    Medication was being discovered that has been beneficial to man, anti biotic etc

    The social leaps that woman especially have made since then.

    I could write for hours, but I think I need to stop.
    I appreciate that posting a book to NZ is very. expensive, so I have entered for fun.
    I love real books however I have had to get used to ebooks.
    To be honest with a thousand ebooks, thankfully I dont need a lot of room for storage.

  8. This book sounds wonderful! I think that the late 1800s/early 1900s is my favorite period for historical fiction. However, I read it all!

    Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  12. I like the era where I would not have been a maid or slave. I like history because there is so much to learn from it.

  13. Historical fiction is my favorite genre and I love any time period. 1700-1900 hundred set in Europe is probably my most favorite.

  14. I am learning so much by reading a wide variety of time periods. I started with he Tutors and Holocaust books. I’ve read assorted books and can’t pinpoint a favorite era. This book sounds so informative and interesting and I am looking forward to reading it and learning more.

  15. Love all historical fiction so it’s hard to pick one. Tudor, love Henry the 8th and his wives, and the 1800’s.

  16. I love reading about pretty much anything historical! I especially love the stories about slavery/Civil War and WWII! Thank you for this opportunity!

  17. This storyline sounds captivating! I pretty much love all historical fiction, but World War II and the Regency Era are special favorites.

  21. Sounds like a great story!

    I love historical novels in anytime period, whether it’s frontier days, war torn periods, or historical moments of time that occurred while I was a youngster and now really able to learn and understand better.

  23. I honestly don’t have a favorite. I read any and all, except medieval. That one I just can’t get into. Of course, someday, I may find an author that can even make that interesting!

  24. Hi, I love to read historical books about the Civil War Era, Regency Era and the Victorian Era. I Love good page turners. Your book sounds like a very good read. Thank you for sharing about it. Thank you for the chance.

  26. I have so many favorites! I enjoy reading about the 1800’s and also about WWI and WWII! Thanks so much for the chance to win! Your book sounds so good!

  28. I enjoy reading novels set in the gilded age. I marvel at the excesses of certain families that lived at that time.

  31. Kaitlin Covel is a very intelligent young lady and has a wonderful writing skill. I had the pleasure of being in a writing retreat with her. Going to keep my eye on her. I like the late 1800’s/early 1900’s…but like others have said, I read it all…especially if the writing is great.

  34. I cannot thank all of you enough for your many comments! I wish I had the time to reply to each and everyone of you, but things have been so chaotic these days! I promise you I have read each and every one of them and my heart just bursts with your beautiful words!
