When Life Seemed Its Worst, Gresham Awaited

Julia Hollis' opulent life in Victorian London crashes to pieces when her husband passes away. Worse, she is told by his bankers that he gambled away their fortune. Now, the family's hope rests on The Larkspur, an old abandoned coaching inn in the quaint village of Gresham.

Driven by dread and her desire to provide for her children, Julia decides to turn the dilapidated inn into a lodging house. But can she--who was accustomed to servants attending to every need--do what needs to be done and cope when boarders begin arriving? And then an eligible new vicar moves into town...

Criticism Regarding Books The Widow of Larkspur Inn (Gresham Chronicles #1)
My favorite series. The era is awesome. I can picture all the characters walking down the different Lanes. It is just a peaceful series in which I can see myself joyfully living in.

Oh, where do I begin? This has been one of my favorite books lately. I was enjoying it so much and just getting into all the characters, thinking a plot twist was coming and it would be ending soon, when I thought to see how far along in the book I was. To my surprise, my kindle said I'd only read less than 25%. I was DELIGHTED. Usually when that happens I think to myself, "Ugh, you mean I have to suffer with 75% more of this book?"Character after character was introduced, but the development of

In my review of the very first book of Ms. Blackwell's that I read I said that the heavy handed preaching detracted from an otherwise well written book. In the subsequent books I read by this author, she used a much lighter and subtler touch on the religious preaching, which gave her fine writing a chance to shine through. This is an earlier book by the Ms. Blackwell than the others I have read to date, and it's extremely preachy-full of sermonizing, evangelizing, and the like. Just the type of

Overall ImpressionIf you are looking for a sweet and wholesome Historical Romance, The Widow of Larkspur Inn is for you. I had seen this quite awhile ago and was instantly attracted to the cover. As I skimming through my Kindle library, searching desperately for a new book to read and this one popped up. I started in with high expectations that were not disappointed. The overall feeling to this book was warm and homey. Gresham was delightfully portrayed, I could see the very streets with a

Well, this was an interesting reading experience.I started this over a week ago. It started off somewhat boring (2 stars), the middle portion was really good and engrossing (4 stars), and the end was weak, hurried, and too preachy for my own personal taste (2 stars). I do give Blackwell kudos for presenting the message of Jesus Christ in a way that made sense within the story context. However, the testimony seemed to be really heavy-handed at the very end, whereas it was sprinkled lightly

I initially had a really hard time getting into this, but once I got past the first 6 or 8 chapters, I really enjoyed the story! It reminded me in *some* ways of my favorite series, At Home in Mitford, because of the small town feel and the fact that it was written in numerous people's POV, which I liked. The characters were all great; although I feel like Julia's children, particularly Aleda and Grace were underdeveloped. Phillip got so much more air time, and we were pretty frequently in his

A delightful regency story that does not involve passionate sex and despicable family members. It was well written and left one feeling that they really knew the characters. It tells the story of a young widow who is forced by her deceased husbands gambling debts to have to leave London and try to provide for her three children and one maid who insists of going with her. It left me looking forward to reading the next book in the series. It takes place in a beautiful part of England and
