New York City, 1832. Clarissa Tanner is carefree and lighthearted until the sudden death of her parents.

My Review

The first book in the series and the first I've read from this author. I have to say I was thoroughly entertained by the genre set in 1832. I loved the character of Clarissa and her fondness for the horses at Lockwood Manor.

With a new set of circumstances befalling the family, Clarissa finds herself looking for a suitor in order to save the manor. The storyline is exciting, with a sense of mystery and danger. It kept me turning the pages and wondering what would happen next.

I can't wait to read the next one in the series. I'm definitely a fan of the author and highly recommend it.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and willingly choose to review it.
