I enjoyed this book immensely, I had a hard time putting it down. I definitely recommend this book. I give this book a 5 star. This was a great story. I felt like I was part of the story or watching a movie unravel. I like that in a book.

Lady in the Mist

Goodreads summary:
By virtue of her profession as a midwife, Tabitha Eckles is the keeper of many secrets: the names of fathers of illegitimate children, the level of love and harmony within many a marriage, and now the identity of a man who may have caused his wife's death. Dominick Cherrett is a man with his own secret to keep: namely, what he, a British nobleman, is doing on American soil working as a bondsman in the home of Mayor Kendall, a Southern gentleman with his eye on a higher office.

By chance one morning before the dawn has broken, Tabitha and Dominick cross paths on a misty beachhead, leading them on a twisted path through kidnappings, death threats, public disgrace, and . . . love? Can Tabitha trust Dominick? What might he be hiding? And can either of them find true love in a world that seems set against them?

With stirring writing that puts readers directly into the story, Lady in the Mist expertly explores themes of identity, misperception, and love's discovery.


I enjoyed this book, but not as much as others. It was kind of easy to put down, easier than I would have liked. I did enjoy it and I did like it, so I give it 4 stars.
