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?
My Thoughts:Although it took mea couple of days to really get in to the story I throughly enjoyed it. Tabitha wasa refreshing new character to get to know. The subject of the book was an interesting one as I really didn't know much about Midwiveryand all the rules that uit entailed such as you had to be a married woman to take up the profession. Its a great start to the series.
Thanks the publishers of Revell For the chance to review the book!
