Dinner guests

Daily writing prompt

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

I would reach back in time and invite Jane Austin and the Brontë sisters. I’m sure the conversation would be very lively.

The Wayward Son by Caroline Warfield
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a first-time read of a Caroline Warfield book, and it covers one of my favorite storylines-unexpected inheritance, and a strong female fighting to survive with little support.
The main male character, Rob, receives an unwanted, unexpected inheritance, and the independent, strong female, Lucy, is now in the vulnerable position of possibly losing the home she loves when the inheritance is claimed.

The characters show fierce independence, resistance to love and marriage, and undeniable attraction. There is just the right balance of attraction and resistance between the two.

Other forces want the property, and a key element of the story is the mystery of unraveling the perpetrator of a sabotage campaign. This brings the two characters together.
The mystery element was a well-handled, added complication while not entirely dominating the story.

The book is beautifully written, well-paced, and full of interesting supporting characters and villains. It paints a picture of complicated family dynamics and ultimate forgiveness.

This was the first in a series, and I look forward to reading about some of the other characters.
