My Review
5☆ Authentic, Passionate, Poignant, Powerful Historical Romance!
Rebel at Pennington's is the second book in the series, it can be read as s standalone but the first book had so much character development and story setting I highly recommend reading it.
This story is set in Bath, one of my favourite places.
Esther and her father was never going to see eye to eye on women's rights.
So when he gave her an ultimatum, to stop perusing her beliefs or leave.
It was an easy option, she was never going to give up on her passion or her mother's, so she has no option but to leave her family home.
Esther works at Pennington's as the head window dresser.
It's here she meets the endearingly handsome Lawrence Culford.
Lawrence hasn't had an easy life he has the emotional scars to prove it.
Now widowed and a single parent he too has a respect for women's rights.
It's clearly obvious that there is a sizzle of a spark between Esther and Lawrence as they become friends.
But Esther's beliefs and passion for women's rights and the suffragettes is so strong will she miss the opportunity to find happiness and love, or can she still stay true to herself and fall in love?
Only time will tell!
Esther is such a wonderful character, she is so strong, passionate, dedicated, kind, a bit of a rogue, which only adds to her charasmatic charm and endearing nature.
I loved watching Esther and Lawrence's friendship bloom. Their chemistry sizzles.
I love historical Romances especially when they are so authentic and real, and Rachel has got it spot on. It shows just how much research and dedication she has put in.
I briefly know a bit about the Suffragettes and their fight to give us women the right to vote and be equal.
In fact my grandad was very passionate about me voting when I turned 18, as he reminded me just how much women fought to give me that right. Which is something I think we forget!
So I really enjoyed getting to learn more about the heartache, danger, passion, dedication, prejudice women faced and fought.
I adore Rachel Brimble's books.
She has knack of storytelling with a lot of heart. She writes the most Captivating and Passionate stories.
With beautifully strong, endearingly observed characters.
She has a way of captivating her readers with Authentic, Gritty, Poignant and heart warming storylines.
Rebel at Pennington's is a totally absorbing read that's beautifully written.
It tells of the struggles, the fights, the dedication women fought in order for equality.
It's an authentic, gritty, passionate, poignant, powerful read filled with romance, uncertainty, rebellious spirit, love, warmth, friendship, and a dash of danger.
If you haven't yet read Rachel Brimble's books and you love historical fiction/ romance then you will really enjoy this series!
