I adore Rachel Brimbles books and this one is such a beautiful read.
Elizabeth Pennington is a strong, independent women who desperately wants her father to accept this and let her have more responsibility and power at their department story.
But Edward, her father has other ideas. Set in an era where men still held all the power, he was not about to budge and hand over his daughter more power and freedom.
He believes Elizabeth should marry into money and stop with her delusions. He believes the men should be in charge.
So when Elizabeth meets Joseph they both set out to change these opinions. As the closer they become the more their relationship sizzles along.
I adore books like this. It shows us how far women have come. Although we still have a way to go before ever being truly equal, Rachel has really captured the equality issues and how they effected women back then.
Elizabeth was so likeable I was rooting for her to succeed the whole way through. I admired her strength and determination.
I didn't like her father, i completely understand in those days men used women to their advantage, but she was his daughter and he should of supported her.
If you enjoy historical fiction with a good dash of romance and standing up for what's right then you need to pick up a copy

Her gentle study drifted to his mouth and back again. ‘Did you love her? The woman you once worked with?’
Joseph stared, as disquiet whispered through him. ‘Why do you ask?’
‘I find it implausible that a man who holds women in such high regard has not known what it means to love one. You have been in love. I see it in your eyes. Unfortunately for you, they’re very revealing.’
He ran his gaze over her face and hair. Every sound muted. The amber glow of the few lit candles danced over her skin, turning it pearlescent. ‘I was married. To a wonderful, caring woman. A woman who worked beside my father and I every day after we were married.’
Her voice softened. ‘What happened to her?’
‘She died.’ He would tell her no more, the shame of his failure burned like acid in his chest and he quickly stood, wanting the intensity to ease, her justified scrutiny to end. ‘Will you try on a pair of gloves?’
He brushed past her and breathed deep as he approached a box of his finished gloves. Lifting a pair of soft kid, perfectly stitched and the exact green of her eyes, the pale cream stitching the colour of her skin.
When he turned and walked back to his bench, she had sat in his seat. She carefully watched his approach, her eyes unreadable.
