I received an arc of this novel from LibraryThing’s Early Reviewer’s group.

This was a good book that you’ll want to throw across the room. You know those books where you’re dying to know what happens, eating up all the plot twists, but you just want to yell at the heroine? Give her a good shake and tell her to stop being so wishy-washy? I know it makes for some of the most famous classic literature, but it’s just not the heroine I’m looking for.

I found this story to be a more straightforward and faster read than Finding Lady Enderly. The characters are fleshed our similarly, so many stories and backstories, you could take a left turn out a side door and walk around the world for weeks. But this plot was a step simpler on the brain, less Clue and more traditional historical romance. And I did find the characters to be more relatable.

The Love Note also talks A LOT more about the heroine’s beliefs in God than what I remember in Finding Lady Enderly. I didn’t realize this is a Christian author, but you get that hint as you go through the book. It is just an element of the story, a character.

A good novel, not at all what I expected, but a great story.
