I wanted to like this book a lot because I loved the first book in the series. This book, though. It suffered from a lack of momentum and sympathy for the hero. There was too much going on and at the same time, the story was boring. It picked up once the heroine left her island, and the hero's children appear. At the same time, it fell into the "hero loves the governess" trope. Also, antebellum society is not all that interesting. The last couple sections of the novel, though, picked up and moved along, and there quite a few heart-wrenching moments. If some of the middle could have been kicked out, the book would have been better. I'll still read the next one because lady astronomer. ( ) The Horsemaster's Daughter Wiggs_ Susan Book starts out with Hunter and he raised horses. The latest is very brutal and he knows he needs some help to tame this one. With help from a boy they get the contained horse on a small barge and take him to where they hope the horsemaster lives. He'd be the one to tame him. He arrives and only finds a woman-his daughter.
