Blog tour and Giveaway: Dusk's Darkest Shores by Carolyn Miller


About the Book

About the series:
 
While most stories set in Regency England focus on the rich, the young, and the beautiful, award-winning author Carolyn Miller decided she wanted to give readers something different for a change. Her new Regency Wallflowers series follows the commoners, away from the hustle and bustle of 1810s London, out in the Lake District of England. She tells the stories of women who are slightly older and have few prospects for marriage, women who might be considered “wallflowers.”
 
About the book:
 
How can a meek wallflower help a returning war hero whose dreams are plunged into darkness?
 
Mary Bloomfield has no illusions. Her chances for matrimony have long since passed her by. Still, her circumstances are pleasant enough, especially now that she has found purpose in assisting her father with his medical practice in England's beautiful Lake District. Even without love, it's a peaceful life.
 
That is until Adam Edgerton returns to the sleepy district. This decorated war hero did not arrive home to acclaim and rest, but to a new battle against the repercussions of an insidious disease. Mary's caring nature cannot stand to see someone suffer--but how can she help this man see any brightness in his future when he's plunged into melancholic darkness, his dreams laid waste by his condition?
 
Adam wants no charity, but he's also no coward. If this gentle woman can work hard, how can he do less? Together they struggle to find a way forward for him. Frustration and antipathy slowly develop into friendship and esteem. Then a summer storm atop a mountain peak leads to scandal--and both Mary and Adam must search the depths of their closed hearts for answers if they hope to find any future path with happiness at its end.
 
Best-selling author Carolyn Miller is back with a fresh series that will not only thrill readers eager for more of her work, but bring in new fans looking for beautiful writing, fascinating research, deftly woven love stories, and real faith lived out in the Regency period.

My Review

Dusk's Darkest Shores begins the Regency Wallflowers series by Carolyn Miller. This has got to be the best by her yet. I adored Mary right from the start and loved it when she meets up with Adam.  This is such a beautiful story of love, hope and learning how to heal. There are some lessons that so many readers would be able to relate to and learn from. It truly is an inspirational and wonderful read. It is so very good and I loved every single page.


Dusk's Darkest Shores is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend this one to readers who enjoy reading clean historical romance. I can not wait to get my hands on the next book in the Regency Wallflowers series. 


I received a paperback copy of Dusk's Darkest Shores from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
