Isabelle Rachel Linden has been working
for her overbearing, cruel father as a nurse since she was
sixteen years old. Now she is nineteen and her
father wants her to marry a crude Curate, but Isabelle has
met someone else. Knowing her father will never accept the
match she keeps quiet about her love that is until she finds
herself pregnant and she finds herself abandoned by the
father of her baby.
Harry Manderlin escorted his mother to
a small Welch (Welsh?) town known for it’s healing spa. He
never imagined he would meet the beautiful Isabelle, but
when he does he knows he has met the girl he wants to
marry. Before he leaves for a trip to America he swears he
will return and wed her.
Isabelle’s Story for the most part was a good
read, though throughout the story there were a few things
that distracted me. And while I enjoyed the basic plot and
the main characters, too many characters seemed lost and
incapable of thinking on their own. I found the “villains”
to be most villainous, sometimes to the point where it felt
overdone. The father had many issues that were never dealt
with in any manner. Some issues were brought up for a short
passage only to never be brought up again, but would surely
be an issue to the main character at some point. The last
blurb in the epilogue could have been left out entirely as
it did not add to the story in anyway. |
