Disowned for marrying beneath her, Eve Kendal has returned to England destitute after her husband's death and the mysterious disappearance of their savings. She's looking for survival, not romance. But from London to the Yorkshire countryside to the elegant estate of Thronbrook Park, Eve's path seems destined to cross that of the dashing but violent Captain Marcus Thorne.
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
For Marcus, a return home means facing the demons that drove him to war in the first place. As he and Eve begin a steamy affair, tensions that had been simmering just beneath the surface threaten to explode and shake the very foundations of Thornbrook Park.

My Review:
This is hands down a 5 star book for me.
The amazing and wonderful storyteller Sherri Browning has
done it yet again. Her newest release Thornbrook Park is an Edwardian romance.
Can’t picture the Edwardian time? Think Downton Abbey, only better.
Every character that I’ve ever met/read of Mrs. Browning’s
has come to life for me and the characters of Thornbrook Park are no exception.
This story centers on Eve Kendal who was disowned by her family for marrying
beneath her, and Marcus Thorne a Captain in her Majesties army who recently
returned from the Second Boer War.
This story had me laughing and crying, wanting to smack people
err characters upside the head and at other times wanting to just give them a
comforting embrace.
I was/am so in love with this book that I convinced my mom
(who NEVER reads romance) to read it. And review it. Her review is below. So
with that said I think anyone (who doesn’t expect every book to have tons of
action or gore) would enjoy this story. I recommend this book to those who
likes romance, a little bit of mystery, some adventure and who loves it when
all those come into one story.
Mom's Review:
I wanted to give this book more than 5 stars, however my daughter said 5 was the limit.
Sherri Browning skillfully takes you back to the turn of the
century in her romance novel Thornbrook Park.
Two broken people are brought together by fate. Neither
looking for romance because their lives are filled with great sorrow.
Eve Kendal’s husband has died in an accident while they were
stationed in India.
Marcus Throne had watched his best friend die after being
injured in war.
When Eve is invited by a childhood friend to stay at her
estate she is very appreciative.
Marcus is encouraged to come home by his sister-in-law in
hopes to bring two estranged brothers back together.
You will laugh and cry as these two people on parallel paths
cross time and again on their journey to emotional healing.
I usually do not read
or enjoy romance novels but I was pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed this
book. The characters were real and not hopping into bed at every turn of the
page. This book will be enjoyed by anyone who likes adventure, mystery and
romance all in one story.
Even though I was afforded the opportunity to read an ARC,
when this book is released on June 3, 2014 I will be going out and buying a
copy to enjoy again and add to my bookshelf.
