REVIEW

If you're a lover wholesome romance novellas with a bit of taboo then you will enjoy Glenys, The Cartographer’s Daughter. Henry does an excellent job in story-telling and is a master of creating strong women characters without them losing one OUNCE of femininity that makes them a lady. I love that her women characters are ever much a lady but will kick your arse if you mistake that for weakness. That is our leading lady Glenys in this charming double-decker romance novella. Why do I say double decker? Well, read the book to find out. Glenys female empowerment though almost lost the love altogether. That is until the Captain’s daughter joins the group and that is when the true sparks fly and confusing things happen, but you then remind yourself back in those days they did those things.

I was riveted!

My rating is *****5 stars I was engrossed!

REVIEW

Petra, The Forrester’s Daughter is a surprisingly enjoyable adventurous romantic read. While a bit slow at the beginning Henry does not disappoint you. The book turns into a jolt of sweet romantic adventure tale leaving you with a smile at the end. I could not believe the shocking twist either which I will not give away. The only sad part is you wish the book was longer. Oh, how much more tantalizing the book could be if certain parts were fleshed out more. Still, Henry does amazing work creating such an amazing well-detailed world as well such well-developed characters and putting it all in a short novella format.

 Overall I loved it and I recommend it. It is a good read.

My Rating *****(5 stars)
