Such a Sweet Story! --"The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins" by Melanie Dickerson—Review


 My Review:

"The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins" by Melanie Dickerson is such a sweet Regency romance! It is perfect for fans of no-spice romance and lovers of Christian fiction. I love that it has some nods to “Jane Eyre” and “Pride and Prejudice.”  Charlotte Robbins is a wonderfully written character who becomes a governess for the Earl of Brookhaven's siblings. Soon, sparks start to fly between the Earl and the governess. They cannot be together because of their difference in class. But Charlotte’s mysterious fortune that she inherits could change that. The story is easy to read, gentle and sweet. I always love the faith content in Ms. Dickerson’s books, and I appreciated the great written descriptions. Miss Robbins is a wonderful protagonist—she is truthful, just, kind, good and courageous. While Ms. Dickerson’s fairytale retellings are still my favorite of her works, this was a wonderful story. I recommend it to lovers of sweet Regency romance!

Content: I give this book a PG rating. Some examples of the content: mention of lovers; someone is drunk; mention of an affair and a mistress; the word “da*n” is used; mention of gambling; a woman propositions a man.

TW: past death from childbirth; orphan. 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
