The Blacksmith's Wife by Elisabeth Hobbes

Which was great and made me really want to root for that perfect happy ending. I actually found the pacing pretty good I think that it just gave me chance to get to know the characters better. I think one of the things that I enjoyed the most was that the story wasn’t rushed now that doesn’t mean that it was slow paced. With misunderstandings galore this pair definitely had a rocky road ahead. They just spark off each other brilliantly and Elisabeth Hobbes created the perfect amount of tension between them. Joanna has a strong attitude that is so fun to see when she meets Hal. Hal is a character that I just took to straight away he is kind but brooding too which I love. Joanna is definitely a determined character especially in her decision to marry Roger but after that plan goes wrong she ends up in another situation entirely. I actually read it in almost one go and I only stopped because it was heading close to midnight and I had work the next day! It’s safe to say that I completely enjoyed it right from the characters through to the story. I love historical romance though so I couldn’t wait to start. ‘A heartbreaking story of the sacrifices made by the young women of the S.O.So first of all I have to admit that this is my first medieval romance and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.
