I loved the intrigue and mystery in this book! The characters were deep and very well written. The love story was sweet, clean, and beautiful. The ending was so perfect! I also enjoyed reading and learning more about miners in this time period. Very interesting. I definitely recommend this book!

“Ghosts and gossips, secret letters and hidden motives- all seemed to be as much a part of Lanwyn Manor as the tapestries hanging on the paneled walls.”
For fans of Jane Austen and Agatha Christie, ‘the thief of lanwyn manor’ was filled with secrets, treasure, gossip and a blossoming romance.
This regency romance transported me to the era of mining, ball gowns and intrigue.
I loved the sweet romance, and the strong heroine, as well as the general atmosphere.
Despite this however, I had a few issues with the story. One of the main plot lines running through was a mystery.
A thief was on the loose in Lanwyn manor making tensions run high. Unfortunately, I predicted the thief and the majority of the plot twists way before they were revealed.
I also found the pacing of this book to be quite slow, so at times it felt like a chore to get through.
Overall, I would recommend this if you are on the lookout for a historical romance with a strong emphasis on the mystery running through, as well as strong side characters.

This book bangs open with a hold up and robbery. Taking place in the 1800’s we expect lots of excitement from this novel. However, after the fast pace of the opening, the book drastically slows down with long paragraphs and few dialogue. Overall, an interesting read if you like a lot of description.
The Thief Of Lanwyn Manor is perfect for fans of Poldark. The small mining town adds to the charm and becomes part of the plot.
The story moves quickly and and is very engaging. There is mystery, hidden rooms, missing jewels, midwifery, and hints of romance.
The reader instantly connects with Julia and her confusion regarding relationships due to her past disappointments. She is smart, fearless and believable.
I would love to read more about Julia and Issac and the future of the mine. I hope there are more books to come.

I was so shocked and this book left me breathless with my jaw wide open because I was blown away by the concept and storyline of this book that I could not help but to read in one sitting and see what happens with Julia and Isaac even though they have their boundaries with their jobs and family. The Thief of Lanwyn Manor is a combination of a thrilling story and a summer romance that go in two completely different directions. Whether it is growing a mining business or escaping love, The Thief of Lanwyn Manor will leave you shockingly excited and you'll want to know more. I know our community is bound to love this book.
