Title: The Seamstress (Sisters of Woodside Mysteries Book 4) Pdf
Miss Fanny Winterton has only one wish in her romantic heart — to surrender to overwhelming love. She will accept nothing less than to be struck by the thunderbolt of everlasting passion. Real life isn’t quite so obliging, however, so while she waits for the fires of love to ignite, she is content to ply her needle as a lowly seamstress for her noble patroness.
The Honourable Ferdinand Makenham has no wish at all to marry, until one glimpse of Fanny’s sweet expression convinces him that he has found the love of his life. Now all he has to do is to persuade her to accept him, but is he romantic enough to win her affection? As he sets about his courtship, he and Fanny are drawn into the mysterious death of a young woman and life gets complicated.
Book 4 of the 5-book Sisters of Woodside Mysteries series, each a complete story with a HEA, but read all of them to find out all the secrets of the Winterton family!
Charming! I've read all the Winterton sisters so far, and this one was especially delightful. I loved Fanny. She also annoyed me at times, but I feel that's normal, with our differences in personality. This is a sweet, unique story. It's not high action or fast paced, no, but I really liked the slow build up between her and Ferdy, as well as the triple murder in the background. *beware of some spoilers ahead*What a couple of dorks! I loved how mild mannered, yet lovesick, Ferdy was, even in the worst of circumstances (and it gets kind of bad). He handled everything with grace and civility. Even when rejected by Fanny, he went out of his way to see that she was comfortable in his presence and around his family, because he loved her. You just don't meet guys like that every day! I loved how friendly his whole family was, and that they didn't care a bit about Fanny's status or lack of dowry. It was sweet. I could really feel the warm family atmosphere the Makenham's had, and it reminded me of my own. Not these cold, supercilious rich people we so often see in Regency stories.That Ferdy and Fanny were both so attentive to clothing design, fit, and presentation was cute. It made me think, 'wow, these two were really a match made in heaven.' They kind of reminded me of Charles Bingley and Jane Bennet. Just two unfailingly kind, sweet-natured people. I do agree that the way you present yourself is extremely important, and you can tell a lot about a person by the care they put into their appearance. So I enjoyed the descriptions of clothing and style. It seemed fitting, considering it was Fanny's livelihood, in a way, and Ferdy's hobby. It made their characterizations believable to me.I did get annoyed at Fanny's excessive.. romantic.. ideals. I could clearly tell they were meant to be, but Fanny just *had* to have that "thunderbolt" moment where she knew she was madly in love. I don't really believe in that stuff, so it wore on my nerves to see her reject poor Ferdy on those grounds. I think you can meet someone and just *know*, but I don't think you need to be struck suddenly with undeniable passion and adoration for a person. Regardless of how long it took, I was very happy to see things work out.I did think the crime angle wasn't quite as prominent as some of others, but that probably had to do with the nature of the murders. People kept tryin to sweep it under the rug because two of the women were prostitutes, like that means they're not human. LUCKILY my boy Ferdy is a sweet darling who wouldn't take that BS. Just for that, he was my favorite of the Winterton suitors.I could predict the culprit almost as soon as they were introduced, but I usually can with these novels. However, I find it very interesting to see how it all unfolds, and their motivation for such a crime. It all wrapped up nicely, though I can't imagine regarding a person so calmly, even if I knew them from childhood, if they had raped or murdered women who were beneath their station and therefore "beneath" anyone's notice. I don't think I could even be in the same room as him. I guess things were different back then.Overall, a sweet, happy romance between two sweet, happy people, with mystery and intrigue to boot! Looking forward to seeing how this all wraps up in Book 5.Sloth slow and lifeless The story progressed at a sloths pace......page after page of slow moving story. The slowness in their even being in each other's company is finally reached well into the story. Page after page describing the outfits and clothing being worn by the not only the women but also the men! Every few pages someone's clothes are being detailed and then following this are endless paragraphs on what is says about the person. Absolutely lifeless! Didn't finish.Weak book by an otherwise great writter. I found this title to be the weakest one I've read by this author. All the characters seem sort of weak and pathetic. Wishywashy. Not a single character seems to have any strong emotion. Fanny, for a character who say marriage without love is not worth having comes across as a character who doesn't feel strongly enough to have that kind of passion. And Ferdie seems to foc;used on appropriate behavior to ever go after what he wants or to ever stand up against what is wrong. I never finished it. Maybe I will eventually, but they are just so boring as characters that I find it hard to push through. The maid who was raped and tossed out when she ended up pregnant seemed to have more personality than any of the main characters.
