When Lucy’s estranged mother dies unexpectedly, her grief is overwhelming. Lucy was disowned when she married penniless horse-trainer Danny for love, leaving her blue-blooded family’s fortune in tatters. But Lucy always dreamed that one day, they’d reconcile.
So when her widowed father Edward begs her and Danny’s forgiveness for his part in their argument, she’s overjoyed. Newly pregnant, she’s determined to give her baby the family she longed for.
Danny, however, isn’t convinced: Edward’s mended ways feel too good to be true. But Lucy’s pregnancy is difficult, and she can’t hear his worries. Until the worst happens, and their fragile family is tested to its very limit…
Will love be enough to get them through?
What did I think?
A Daughter's Love is the third and final book in the Cuthford Manor series and I have enjoyed every beautifully written word. You can read it as a standalone as there's enough of the backstory included to fill in any blanks that new readers might have but it is simply breathtaking when you have read the previous books.
Angie's siblings Danny and Marlene are the focus of this book as Danny starts his married life with Lucy and Marlene tentatively opens her heart to the possibility of love. The Boulter family haven't had an easy life and it's not about to change any time soon with cracks appearing in Danny's marriage already and Marlene losing the man she loves to manipulative Mabel.
As much as I loved the majority of the characters, I really detested Mabel. There's a line that sums Mabel up perfectly: "And what Mabel wanted, Mabel got." You'd think Mabel was lady of the manor but she's just an employee at Cuthford Manor. Poor Thomas doesn't stand a chance when Mabel sets her sights on him, probably just to spite Marlene more than anything.
I feel like I have watched this lovely family grow up over the years and I will miss them but the beauty of being a reader is that I can always pick up the books again and I plan to do just that. Nancy Revell is a natural storyteller and I can't wait to see what she writes next.
Impossible to put down, incredibly entertaining and completely unmissable, A Daughter's Love is a fantastic family saga that I highly recommend. An easy five stars - I absolutely loved it!
I received a gifted paperback for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
