Your Typical Love Story

 The Heiress of Winterwood,

 written by Sarah Ladd, is a story about a heiress to a fortune who is trying to keep a promise to a friend. Amelia is an heiress to a vast fortune unless she marries the man her uncle wants her to marry. But the man is not willing to let her keep a promise to a friend. Will Amelia be able to stand up for herself and her promise? 

 This book was a pretty good read if you are into Christian romance. I had a pretty hard time getting into this book because it seemed very predictable. The pretty girl ends up with the handsome guy. I guess I am tired of the same story lines with little twists. I picked it thinking it would be different but for me it really was not all that different. I did like the fact that Amelia was strong in keeping her promise to her dying friend no matter the cost. I also liked the fact of Amelia's reliance on God and Scripture. It would have been a better book for me if it had some kind of mystery and intrigue. 

 I was given this book to read for an honest review and wasn't paid.
