I very much enjoyed this book.  It has a good story and excellent main characters.  I would definately recommend this book.

A historical clean romance setduring the time of Jack the Ripper. White chapel was a dangerous, filthyplace in London. The families in the area were very poor and tough decisions were made. Many ended up on the streets and some died. 
This story focused on two families and the people who corrupted them. 
Some parts dragged for me but I did enjoy the story. I wanted more romance. I always want MORE romance. I’m giving this a 3 star because it could have been more developed. 

Thank you NETGALLEY and the publisher for this ARC, in exchange for my honest review

Family at any cost

Kathleen Flynn is eighteen, working as a seamstress in London. After her father's death she is helping her mother care for her younger siblings. When her mother is ill with lung problems she is hard pressed to pay the rent and upon threats of eviction to the streets she becomes desperate.

She meets Mr. Squires a gentlemen that offers her a job uptown. Sounds like the answer to her dreams. He helps her sick mother get into a home to recover in the country, and buys her fancy clothes. Then she finds out the dark secret and what he has in store for her.

She now longs for her friend Jimmy who once proposed marriage to her, but he was hurt when she took up with Mr. Squires and left on a ship to find his fortune. Now she has to figure out what to do?

This is a heartwarming story of a young girl in a perilous situation, the love of good friends and family, and how she manages to survive and keep her family together. I absolutely loved this story, and I would recommend it.

Thanks to Lynette Rees, Quercus Books, and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of the book in return for an honest review.

The book is set in  London in the 1890s. Kathryn Flynn has taken over the care of her siblings after her father dies and her mother is too poorly to get out of bed. 

Kathryn struggles to hold life and limb together keeping a roof over their heads, food in their tummy's. Being desperate she decides the only way to make any money is to go up west and sell her body.  Once here she meets up with "The Squire" who instantly falls in love with her and promises her money if he sells her virginity to the highest bidder.

Her oldest friend Jimmy offers to marry her and look after her family, but she cannot see him in that light so he takes off to sea leaving his younger brother and sister in the care of an aunt & uncle who have no worry over the children, so leave them to their own devices.

This is an excellent read with some colourful characters. It made me shed a few tears of frustration for Kathryn as she struggles with a vicious landlord and a gaggle of characters that she tries desperately to care for.
Well worth 5* and well worth a read.
