A Stranger at Fellsworth might be classified as a Regency suspense book, but what it really does is explore the emotions that accompany betrayal. Betrayal by a spouse, a friend, or a family member. Once again, Sarah E. Ladd has crafted a book filled with rich locations, intriguing situations, and characters who struggle to understand their relationship with God in the midst of life's storms.

When Annabelle's brother pressures her brother to marry a man that she cannot abide, Annabelle is trapped in her London society life. With the assistance of the widowed gamekeeper Owen Locke, Annabelle runs to her uncle's house where she becomes a teacher. Annabelle and Owen grown in affection for each other as they discover a deep-rooted poaching plot.

Annabelle and Owen have had a lot of difficulties in their lives. They work hard to make the best choices that they possibly can. Annabelle's physical, spiritual, and emotional journeys were entirely believable. She wasn't looking for love, but she found it anyway. I especially enjoyed this story.
