Diana Biller Ð 6 Summary review é PDF, eBook or Kindle ePUB Ð Diana Biller Free download The Widow of Rose House Tation at the same time However fresh starts aren't as easy as they seem as Alva discovers when stories of a haunting at Liefdehuis begin to reach her But Alva doesn't believe in ghosts So when the eccentric and brilliant professor Samuel Moore appears and informs her that he can get to the bottom of the mystery that surrounds Liefdehuis she turns him down flat She doesn't need any complications in her life―especially not a handsome convention flouting scandal raising one like Sam Unfortunately thou. Another excellent debut I loved the way the author incorporated a ghost story with HR She did it in a way that avoided the gothic feel of the usual ghost stories What was really good here is the way the MCs act think and thinkI loved the unusual hero Sam a scientist to the core who gets distracted by scientific pursuits in the most unexcpected moments LOLHe was such a breath of fresh air In a romancelandia populated by arrogant alpha dukes earls etc he is a bright star He realized that he s fallen in love with Alva rather early in the story and he didn t uestion the feeling he accepted it and rejoiced Ahhh I want heroes like SamAlva was another thing entirely She s terrified and rightly so After the disastrous marriage the cruel husband and his deplorable family the filth she was heaped upon without being guilty of anything she has every reason to be cautious and even terrifiedI loved Sam even because he as intelligent enough to understand Alva and support her in a very subtle way He kept her unbalanced with his outrageous statements the way he jumped from one argument to another completly different It way wonderfulThe ghost story only adds to the enjoyment It was heartbreaking how the poor Rose was treated If I was treated like that my ghost would have been much cruel and vindictiveBut even without the ghost the story is wonderful The secondary characters are fantastic as well Sam s family and his friendadopted brother Henry were wonderful too Sam s family is hilarious like a mad scientist dream They act and speak in such a wonderfully innocently intelligent way that I wanted to hug them allI loved it very very much and I ll be looking forward to books by this author

Diana Biller Ð 6 Summary review é PDF, eBook or Kindle ePUB Ð Diana Biller Free download The Widow of Rose House A young widow restores a dilapidated mansion with the assistance of a charming eccentric genius only to find the house is full of dangerous secrets in this effervescent Gilded Age debut novelIt's 1875 and Alva Webster has perfected her stiff upper lip after three years of being pilloried in the presses of two continents over fleeing her abusive husband Now his sudden death allows her to return to New York to make a fresh start restoring Liefdehuis a dilapidated Hyde Park mansion and hopefully her repu. 35 starsIt s not very often I will read something involving ghosts but the synopsis sounded interesting so I rolled the dice and took a chance on this one Thankfully my gamble paid off and I thought this was a pretty cute historical romance Always good to step out of your reading comfort zone from time to time It s 1875 and you aren t going to find many people who have a kind word to say about Alva Webster Even though she had been living in Europe gossip about her and her marriage still found its way across the Atlantic Ocean After the death of her abusive husband she has returned to New York with the hopes of restoring Liefdehuis a mansion in desperate need of repairs However rumor has it ghosts haunt the home and not many people will even go near it Professor Samuel Moore is highly interested in checking the place out for research purposes but Alva is wary of the idea and him Perhaps he can charm his way into her heartSo while ghosts are an aspect of the story it wasn t the only thing going on In my opinion the romance was the strength of the story as Alva and Samuel had good chemistry together and I loved their banter back and forth I don t normally read many historical fiction books taking place in the 1800s and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed reading about this time period My only slight criticism about the book is I felt the dialogue at times was too modern A few times during romantic scenes I would find myself uestioning if certain words or phrases were realistic sounding for that time period I could be wrong though and it s not like it truly affected my overall enjoyment of the storyI think there s a little something for every type of reader with this book If you like romances the 1800s time period andor ghosts consider checking this one out as it s a cute and enjoyable readThank you to St Martin s for sending me an advance reader s copy I was not obligated to post a review and all views expressed are my honest opinion

Diana Biller Ð 6 Summary review é PDF, eBook or Kindle ePUB Ð Diana Biller Free download The Widow of Rose House Gh Alva is loath to admit it Sam a pioneer in electric lighting and a member of the nationally adored Moore family of scientists is the only one who can help Together the two delve into the tragic secrets wreathing Alva's new home while Sam attempts to unlock Alva's history―and her heart Set during the Gilded Age in New York City The Widow of Rose House is a gorgeous debut by Diana Biller with a darkly Victorian Gothic flair and an intrepid and resilient American heroine guaranteed to delight reader. Ultimately choppy for me Probably because the plot underpinning the romance was terribly lackluster for me The romance overlaying the plot then had no grit or tension really It left me feeling this was unbalanced and didn t have a strong pull for me It was like stop go traffic and I never found my groove despite two lovely characters and sparkling light writing
