My thoughts:
Where to start?? The Mistress of Tall Acre was a fabulous historical romance and another stellar read from Laura Frantz. I absolutely loved the characters and really felt for them as the story progressed. So many things happened, including a super shocking element near the end that I did. not. expect.
I loved the relationship between Sophie and Lily Cate and how the child seemed to have felt an instant connection with Sophie -- so sweet! I also liked how there was a sliver of suspense in The Mistress of Tall Acre.
All in all, I loved this book and recommend it if you enjoy historical romance novels -- it is fantastic! I can't wait for Laura Frantz's next novel.
