Surrender to destiny: a window to the heart opens, when one door closes.

To follow the heart or the head—torn between two men—which future will Lady Margaret choose? Profoundly romantic and superbly riveting, The English Proposal explores the conflict between fulfilling duties and satiating desires.

The English Proposal (Book 1). Sheltered on her family’s country estate, Lady Margaret, the daughter of an English Earl, is betrothed due to a family promise. Although Henry, the Viscount Rolantry, has been her best friend since childhood and she is expected to marry him, she never felt butterflies until she meets the Duke of Witherton. Against her father’s wishes, Margaret finds herself captivated by the forbidden duke. Caught between family loyalty and her own wishes, Margaret searches for a way to satisfy both her responsibilities and her longings. When tragedy strikes, Margaret finds herself seeking answers at church. But when she finally makes her choice, through her newfound faith, will she be able to live with the repercussions of her decision?

My point of view:

This book was a totally new author for me. I am often asked how I find new authors, and there are actually many ways – I read a lot of Christian Fiction bloggers to get ideas for new reads; I hear about them on different Facebook groups; I subscribe to many of my favorite authors newsletters and they introduce new authors at times;  on a few occasions, an author will reach out to me asking if I would read their newest book, etc. But I must give credit for finding The English Proposal by Jenna Brandt to a dear friend, Kathy Danheim! So, to start with – THANK YOU, KATHY! I have definitely found a new author I intend to keep reading!

Now, as for this amazing historical, we have a great time period set in England that I truly enjoy, a good deal of mystery and suspense, and a beautiful romance between childhood friends. Margaret is one feisty young girl whom I adored from the beginning, and she continues to grow on you throughout the pages. The author takes several twists throughout the story, and once where I was ‘routing’ for one scenario, well, let’s just say it turns out I was cheering on in the wrong direction, lol! The of course, I was so sure I knew who the ‘villain’ was only to be led in another direction again!! Now, I don’t know about you, but I much prefer to be surprised when I am reading – in a good way, of course – than to read a book that I have had all the issues figured out ahead of time, lol!

Best part of the whole story, though? The characters finding their way to becoming true believers in the Lord, this by far was truly beautiful to read, and I am so happy I took a chance on a friend’s recommendation and bout this book! I hope you’ll take a chance on my recommendation and do the same thing and take your own journey into The English Proposal!
