Will their love come at a cost?

Escaping Boston to avoid a marriage of convenience aimed at garnering society’s respect for her family name in the shadow of her father’s war profiteering, Meg Underwood settles in Spruce Hill, Oregon. Despite leaving behind the comforts of wealth, she’s happy. Then the handsome Pinkerton agent, Reuben Jessop, arrives with news that she’s inherited her aunt’s significant estate, and she must return home to claim the bequest. Meg refuses to make the trip. Unwilling to fail at his mission, Reuben gives her until Christmas to prove why she should remain in Spruce Hill and give up the opportunity to become a woman of means. When he seems to want more than friendship, she wonders if her new-found wealth is the basis of his attraction.

More from Linda

Dear Reader:

Have you ever dreamed of winning the lottery?

Last year, that happened to someone at work. Not millions, but a significant amount of money. As a result, she immediately cut her hours to part-time and began to do things she hadn’t been able to. Her good fortune prompted a lot of conversations among my colleagues about what they would do if they came into a large sum of money.

Those discussions inspired the plotline for Legacy of Love, but instead of winning the lottery my main character comes into a large inheritance. As a result, everyone treats her differently and weighs in on what she should do. Her friendships are affected, and her life is turned upside down. She was happy before the inheritance, however the money would allow her to perform acts of kindness. But at what cost?

I hope you enjoy Hannah’s story.

Blessings,

Linda Shenton Matchett

My Review

Legacy of Love is Linda Shenton Matchett’s contribution to the multi author series, Keepers of the Light. I thought it was a pretty good read. I enjoyed the historical details of the town, Spruce Hill, Oregon. I adored the characters, Meg and Reuben. I found their story to be sweet, delightful and entertaining. It is not a long read, I had no problem reading it in one sitting. 

I am giving Legacy of Love four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical romance. I would love to find out what happens in the other books from the Keepers of the Light series, as well as, others written by the talented, Linda Shenton Matchett.

I received a digital copy of Legacy of Love from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
