Forever and Ever by Patricia Gaffney, 4

Book description: Sophie Deene is every bit her father’s daughter—proud, fiercely independent...yet bound by the constraints of convention. When she takes over her father’s copper mine upon his death and finds herself wildly attracted to the handsome, insolent Cornishman she has hired as foreman, she refuses to risk everything for an unsuitable marriage...

Embittered by past tragedy and burdened by dark secrets, Connor Pendarvis lives only to destroy the belle of Wickerly. But even as he begins to tear apart Sophie’s world, Connor finds himself falling in love with her...and fighting a passion that promises to engulf them both forever and ever...

Review: Forever and Ever is the third book in the Wickerly trilogy but it stands on its own. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the first two books in the trilogy but it was still pretty darn good. I loved that a large part of the book dealt with social and political issues of the time. Gaffney certainly doesn’t write wallpaper historicals. Sophie and Connors’ relationship is not an easy one and takes many sad turns. This made the book a very emotional and realistic read. I highly recommend the Wickerly trilogy to anyone who loves historical romance.
