Product Description:
Lillian Haswell, brilliant daughter of the local apothecary, yearns for more adventure and experience than life in her father's shop and their small village provides. She also longs to know the truth behind her mother's disappearance, which villagers whisper about but her father refuses to discuss. Opportunity comes when a distant aunt offers to educate her as a lady in London. Exposed to fashionable society and romance--as well as clues about her mother--Lilly is torn when she is summoned back to her ailing father's bedside. Women are forbidden to work as apothecaries, so to save the family legacy, Lilly will have to make it appear as if her father is still making all the diagnoses and decisions. But the suspicious eyes of a scholarly physician and a competing apothecary are upon her. As they vie for village prominence, three men also vie for Lilly's heart.

I am not a raomance novel reader, but I do love "period" movies, and since I got this for my Kindle for free, I thought that i would give it a try. Turned out to be a very lovely story, and the interjection of homeopathic remidies from long ago was very interesting. Highly sugggested.

This is different from most of my picks. I read it for a change. Interesting history, but the story got slow at times.
Rating: -
To me a good story has strong characters and bits of history woven throughout. It becomes even better when I learn about healing properties of plants. As a result, this book is now one of my "must read again" novels. I can't wait to read more from this author.
Rating: -
I honestly have not read a historical romance for at least five years if not longer. My taste in books is more on the fantasy/sci-fi side of things so I typically would have never gone for this particular book - but I happened to accidentally purchase it a long time ago.
I considered deleting the book - but I decided that I should probably at least try reading it before I tossed it out so quickly. I started reading and couldn't stop!
Mind you, there were points in the book ... Read More

truly excellent read. I could not puy it down. I especially enjoyed the time period in whicch it was set (early 1800's).
