A Lady in Attendance by Rachel Fordham

 I enjoyed this book because I felt the author did a good job of building the relationship between the main characters.  There were subtle hints of the romance all the way through the book.  She had the relationship be meaningful and the characters consider obstacles when they initially became attracted to each other.  It gave an interesting view of dentistry in the 1800s as well as norms for courtship and what was considered proper etiquette between men and women of good character.  At the beginning of the book the reader doesn't know whether Hazel is guilty or innocent of the crime she is incarcerated for.  The rest of the story deals with her decisions along the way to hide her identity, confess her downfall and fight for justice for a victim.

I received this book from the publishers but was not required to right a positive review.

At Lighthouse Point by Suzanne Woods Fisher

 This book explores the complex relationship sisters often have.  Blaine must decide what is important and what goals she truly wants to achieve and at what cost.  The island setting of this book gives immediate intrigue.  And just as Blaine's life doesn't follow a predictable straight line neither does the story.  There is plenty of the unexpected to keep a reader's interest.  The thoughts and musing of the main character are not trite but give depth to the story line.  As Blaine deals with disappointments and hurt feelings she also navigates areas of her life she had put on hold.  She sets off to prove to her family her worth.  But she  begins to realize she must feel the worth inside her own heart.  

I received this book free from the publishers but was not required to write a positive review.
