THE HEIRESS OF WINTERWOOD

By Sarah Ladd

The Heiress of Winterwood is a great story that really held my attention throughout the book. It has a gripping opening and a great story. The story is about a young woman who is about to inherit her family's estate, but only if she is married. She is engaged to a man whom she believes will be the right man to take her and her estate where it should be. However, in the meantime, she befriends a woman whose husband is off to war. A baby is born, but her friend dies and she has promised her friend to care for the baby. Her betrothed refuses to allow her to take care of the baby after they marry. So, she decides to go against everyone and propose to the baby's father.
The story takes several turns and goes in a different direction than I anticipated. While it felt like the baby's father and she would eventually be married, there were some uncertain plot turns. About halfway through the book, the story really became engaging such that I really wanted to read until it was finished.
This was a great story and I would read more from this author should I have the chance.
