An orphan's Promise is a book focusing on main character Rose who was taken in by her aunt Win when her parents died. Rose is a strong willed young lady who does not want to get married just to please her aunt, who she starts to believe has a secret agenda for marrying her off. Rose meets Charles who is older but seems very smitten with her which displeases her aunt greatly.
A good story with a few twists along the way. Thank you for advanced copy.

I enjoyed the clean read. It was a romance with a significant age difference. There were many secondary characters who were very much part of the storyline. One thing I found hard to believe was that the business ran so smoothly for years without an owner being involved more or at least the lawyers of the deceased owner. The FMC was very likeable and very caring. Her aunt was a selfish person. The MMC seemed to know what he wanted.

Nineteen year old Rose has lived with her aunt Win since a young child. Why is her scheming aunt determined to marry off Rose before her twenty first birthday.
Why is Win jealous and unfeeling towards Rose, only the servants are her true friends. Can they solve the terrible secret Win is hiding.
A romantic saga at its best.

Another lovely saga from this much loved author introduces us to a whole set of new characters. I'm hoping that this is the start of a new series! The story of Rose and Charles will not disappoint fans, and has the unusual slant of a household where the servants are treated as equals to the family. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Another lovely read from this author. This book takes you back to a different age of poverty and hardships. It really paints a great picture of those times. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Birmingham.
Rose Hamilton nineteen years old, living with her scheming aunt Win (Winifred Jacobs) with only one thing on her mind for a reason and that is to see her niece to be married before she is twenty one.
Upon meeting handsome Charles Dean he is the only one for her, but her aunt is against it and it's for a big secret and lies, enough to send her mad, but Rose is holding onto her word.
With only the staff at the house to keep her going, why is her aunt jealous?
A legacy of lies.
A promise of love.
This is a very good read.
It takes us through lots of secrets, lies and love.
I certainly loved reading it all the way through to the end.

A sweet and mild family romance without a lot of tragedy, but one big mystery that comes out at the end. Since Rose wasn’t really an orphan, I’m not sure the title actually applies.

Rose is orphaned at a young age, she goes to live with her Aunt Win, who treats her horribly. when Rose turns 21 her aunt is determined to marry her off to a man Rose doesn't like.

I found this book to be an easy read. I enjoyed the storyline and read the book one evening and finished it the next afternoon. I couldn't wait to see how things worked out in the end. What I didn't like was how the book would refer in one sentence as "cook" and the next sentence using the cook's name, Mary. That was consistent throughout the book with all of the staff and I just found it annoying. Just a pet peeve of mine. That's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

I would like to thank the author and Boldwod Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
