It's Raining Books - and a Great Review

I'm delighted with this Review from It's Raining Books on The Maid of Milan:

"I began reading this story expecting it to be another typical Regency romance. Wrong. This was certainly not a typical story of any kind. 

Addy is married to Tristan and loves him dearly. However, he doesn’t really allow himself to get very close to her. Her mother appears to actually hate her, and does everything in her power to disrupt her marriage. In spite of this, Addy is beginning to get closer to Tristan and her to her.

Then Tristan’s best friend, James, comes to town with his very young fiancĂ©, Beatrice. Unknown to Tristan and Beatrice, James and Addy had been involved years before, and she had become pregnant with his child. Upon his return, he spends most of his time neglecting his young fiancĂ©, and chases after Addy. She now wants nothing to do with him, realizing what a mistake she had made in the first place. 

She spends so much time trying to avoid him, while her husband keeps trying to encourage her be more friendly to him. I really began to love both Tristan and Addy, and hoped that they could work out their difficulties. It was almost impossible, however, as her mother kept putting everything possible in the way of her happiness.

I kept reading and hoping for a happy conclusion, but couldn’t figure out how it could possibly end happily. This author was wonderful and managed to surprise me with the ending and the result was not what I expected but even better. 

I highly recommend this story to anyone who is not looking for a typical romance. This is even better. I give it 4 flowers."
