"The Innkeeper's Daughter"  is a riveting, fast-paced Regency adventure/romance that contains quirky characters.

The Innkeeper’s Daughter is a wonderful read. I love reading about the older years with Amish or Minadite. This book kept me guessing for what was happening next.

So I just finished this book today(well yesterday when you read this) so far all the books I've read by Michelle I've loved. This one wasn't just I loved the description so I had to read it. It was kinda a sequel to Brentwood's ward and I wanted to see how things were going too. Well don't worry if you haven't read Brentwood's ward, Brentwood and Emily were barely mentioned(honestly gonna have to reread that one because I'm having a hard time remembering most of it...and can't remember Alex's part in it)

This book has mystery, adventure and a bit of romance. I loved being kept on my toes and not knowing who could be trusted and who was the traitor

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I love Michelle Griep's writing style. Her books keep me fully engrossed in the story and I enjoy the rich details and unexpected twists and turns. This is the second book I've read by this author and I am completely hooked.  I loved the combination of history and suspense. The intrigue and spy elements blended well with the sweet romance between the characters, I couldn't help pulling for these characters and wanting to see them succeed. As always I love the amusement child characters add to the story and this one was no different. I can't wait to dig into another book by this author.

I had trouble keeping all the characters straight. While I am one of faith this was to much in a book I would choose for.entertainment purporse. Wasn't a bad book just not one I would choose for me. Was going to give a 3 but giving it a 4 anyway because it is well written and not fair to author to down grade score because of my taste.

I enjoyed the story and the historical elements. It took awhile to be drawn into the book. I would give positive recommendations for anyone who is interested in historical romance.

I was excited to read this, however, it was slow going in parts. I feel like the book could have been shortened and actually  result in a better told story. Now for the bad part in my opinion, I wanted to stop reading when the hero (?) who was quite decent it seemed did something that i think of as a betrayal of the heroine, no matter his excuse. I find it hard to  believe she would forgive so easily and could trust him. I ended up hoping she would run off with Quail, a travelling musician/revenuer. I would love to read his story, only tightened up and edited better. I received this book free through Netgalley and the review is my honest and voluntary opinion.

*Heart Swoon* This book has me wrapped up in it. I really enjoyed this novel and absolutely loved reading the family interactions between Jo, and her brother. Jo faces so many challenged in this novel, from trying to make ends meat to her ailing mother and a family emergency with her brother. All the while you have the heart swoon worthy Alex taking care of her. You see so much attraction between two people who will not admit it to themselves. The novel had so, so many good messages in it as well. The writing was beautiful and had me white knuckled gripping my kindle swiping through pages as I could NOT put this down! 5 stars!!!

The Innkeeper's Daughter is the second book in The Bow Street Runner series.  A tale full of suspense, learning to trust and be trusted. Trying to make it through to another day, another month, to start all over again. A Bow Street Runner on a secret mission, will he be able to find the traitor in time and not lose everything in the end?

The Innkeeper's Daughter What an entertaining, awesome, adventurous, mysterious, romantic and Faithful book. There is a traitor to the Crown and Alexander is out to find out who while staying at Johanna's family Inn.  I have to say this author is unreal - she is able to make the characters come to life off the pages and into your imagination. I really hope that I have the privilege to review her next book because this one was out of bounds - it was that good.

This was a fun, quick read about a daughter struggling to support her family and their inn. When an undercover police agent shows up along with a band of musicians, chaos ensues. I found the main characters likable, and I always enjoy when the book shifts point of view to offer us other character's thoughts and reactions to events.

I could not finish this title because my book expired. But I did get more then half way through and it was a delightful tale and the characters were entertaining. I quite enjoyed it.

Michelle Griep writes exquisite historical fiction, and I absolutely loved the adventure and romance of The Innkeeper’s Daughter. With transporting atmosphere, the story comes to life from the very first page, and as I delved into the world of Regency-era spies, smugglers, traitors, and a very stubborn innkeeper, I couldn’t stop reading. It’s intriguing and suspenseful and an utter delight to read. I can’t recommend this book enough to readers of historical fiction and look forward to reading much more from Griep in the future. (Next up, The Captured Bride.)

Smugglers, Spies, Traitors and Secret Agents.  This book has them all.  Alex Moore is a Bow Street Runner with a mission, finding a traitor and exposing him before England's National Security is compromised.  Sent back to Dover, old enemies seem to be around every corner.  Alex never expected his head and heart would be turned by lovely innkeeper Johanna Langley.

Johanna has her own mission to accomplish: saving her dilapidated Inn from the nefarious creditor Mr. Spurge.    Johanna must work hard to keep her family from the workhouse.  But no amount of hard work seems to ever be enough, and Johanna must choose to get funds through unsavory means, or trust in God to see her family safely through. 

I enjoyed so much about this book.  I thought Johanna an admirable heroine, who's willing to do almost anything to help save her mother and brother from the workhouse.  As she learns to put her faith and trust in God, she realizes that her future is in God's hands.  

Alex is dashing character, who's bravery and skill are matched only by his handsome appearance.  He looks out for Johanna and her small little family.  In them, he finds all that he had been missing since the death of his parents years earlier. 

With a host of supporting characters, there are several story lines, which seem to intersect in the book's culmination, full of fireworks!

There is so much going on in this book. It's great!! The personalities of the characters tie in together to make the story blend and flow, well done! It took several pages to get into the book but was worth it. Once you get into the story of Johanna, Alexander, Thomas and even good ole' mom pops into the story unexpectedly. I enjoyed this story. I loved the characters, each with their own struggles and moments of humor. Please read the book. 
Blessings, Karen

I received this book as a gift and all opinions are my own.

Being transported to a time and place is the magic that is contained between the covers of a book and very few authors captivate readers and bring those worlds to life better than Michelle Griep.  In The Inkeeper's Daughter you are taken to Dover, England in 1908 where we meet Officer Alexander Moore and Ms. Johanna Langley.

Alexander is on an undercover mission to expose a traitor to the crown and Johanna is doing everything she can to keep her family business afloat.  Despite their focuses being on their respective tasks they cannot fight the feelings that quickly blossom between them.  After Johanna makes herself vulnerable to Alexander he wants to reciprocate but cannot afford to bring to light his dishonesty and has to choose between his love for Johanna or be loyal to his mission.

It pains me to say this but this is the first book by Michelle Griep that was incredibly hard for me to get through.  Though the plot was decent it was a very slow and painful read for me.  Every time I picked it up I fought to get through each chapter.  However there were gems throughout this book that cannot be ignored.  I found the characters quite charming, especially Alexander, the writing style drew you to that era, and I did enjoy the ending. 

I really wanted to love this book but I think the parts that lagged fought to hold my attention and made for a laborious read for me.  If you are a die-hard romance addict I think this would be an enjoyable read because Alexander is easy to fall in love with.

A sweet romance that unfolds in the midst of intrigue and mystery. I enjoyed Brentwood's Ward, so I was looking forward to reading this one. I was not disappointed. Although the two books are part of a series, this one works well as a stand-alone. We follow Johanna and Alex though their struggles and doubts as they learn to let go and trust God. There are plenty of characters to keep you guessing who's who in the mystery Alex is working on solving. Don't expect a lot of action, however, I thoroughly enjoyed this one from start to finish.

I adore historical fiction. I just couldn’t get into this book. The characters were hard to connect with. I also felt that the religion was distracting at times. I’m fine with a few mentions of faith, but this seemed overboard to me.

Michelle Griep is one of my favorite authors. I love her characters. They are so colorful and human. And so is Johanna Langley—the female main character in The Inkeeper's Daughter. She is pretty, determined and headstrong. And there is Alexander Moore—the male main character. He is handsome, strong and totally swoon worthy.
Michelle Griep has a way of drawing me into her story world. I am there. I live the lives of the characters and feel their heartache and happiness. I join them on their adventure. I am totally immerged in the tale the author is spinning and I do not want it to end. 
Intrigue, suspense, mystery, romance . . . it is all there! 
A totally enjoyable read with characters so loveable that I will happily look back to this book and probably revisit their adventure again.

I thought that this was a cute, entertaining book.   It is a combination mystery/crime thriller and romance novel.   It was rather simplistic, but there were some interesting characters in it.   I particularly liked Mr. Nutbrown who is well....a nutcase.   

The book was suspenseful, intriguing, and made you want to read it to the end to find out the answers  to the mysteries within the mysteries.   It is a time period piece, giving you a look at England in the 1800's.  Please do not hate on me....I just do not like books that kind of hit you over the head with the religious beliefs.   I admire people who live and breathe their faith, but do not want to read a fictional book that gets into such depth about giving your life up to Christ.   I feel as though I am being preached to.   I prefer people and books that show people who show their faith in their deeds. 

This book will appeal to romance novel lovers and crime enthusiasts.

It is a great effort!
