A heartbreaking story about following your heart and never giving up.
A duel-timeline starting in the 1930’s and then present time.
The setting is in beautiful Argentina. I loved the horses and polo matches.
Finding the secret of a grandmothers parentage is the theme of The Spanish Daughter.
The Lost Daughters is a heartwarming and heartfelt series.
Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Absolutely adored this book. Was an easy read. I would definitely recommend this series to friends. Was glad to have been able to go on a journey with the characters.

I was 69% through this and absoutely loving it but I have one word to describe Rose: coward. She's always running away, indectetive and I couldn't keep on reading a book about someone who is a coward. Heartless and sneaking away like a thief in the night. However she may annoying you keep on reading because although the ending annoys me,

Valentina on the other hand is everything you want in a heroine and she's the total opposite of her cowardly great-granddaughter. She's feisty, fights for what she believes in. I'm glad I kept reading.

I can't wait to read the final two books in this series and to go back to read the books I haven't yet read.

Ps. Love Argentina as the location as its on my to visit list.

Soraya Lane has once again delivered a masterpiece. From the very first page, you are swept into a beautifully, gripping novel. The Spanish Daughter is the sixth book in The Lost Daughter series. Prepare for an emotional roller coaster, as you will cry tears of joy and sadness while Rose learns about her ancestor, Valentina, her great-grandmother. It is a story of discovering home filled with passion and courage. I am absolutely loving this series; every time I read one, I add places to visit or, in this case, I want to watch and learn more about a polo. Captivating all the way to the last sentence. I can't wait for the next book.
I would like to thank the author, Bookouture and NetGalley for my free copy of this novel, in exchange for my honest review.

I love this series (The Lost Daughters) and this is #6.
Rose has lost two important women in her life and she is not coping well. With the loss of her mother and grandmother, she feels so alone.
She received a little box with contents which might connect her to her past. Some family she never knew. She finds out about an inheritance and a connection to Argentina and polo horses.
A beautiful dual time line with the present involving Rose and 1939 of oner of her ancestors Valentina.
A moving novel which connects the past and the present. As always Lane gives us a luscious story and scenery.

I really loved this book! Soraya Lanes' writing style makes me feel the emotions of each character. Rose lost both her mother and grandmother in a relatively short period of time. She received a trinket box as part of her grandmother's estate, and that led her to a discovery of her heritage from Argentina. She learned of her great grandmother Valentina Santiago, and the Polo estate bequethed to her grandmother's descendants. Through duel timeline writing, the reader learns of the loss and heartache Valentina experienced from a young girl of 17. Valentina's inner strength, resilience, and perseverance helped her through some very tough and emotional events. It was fun reading about a country I knew nothing about. I am am curious to know more about polo, too. This wonderful book has a "happily ever after" kind of feel to it.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

Not my favourite of the ‘daughters’ series but enjoyable all the same. As always, looking forward to the next instalment.

Another great easy read by Soraya.
The book flows from Argentina in the late 1930's where we meet Valentina, her life, her loves and her heartache flow through the pages.
In the present day Lonfon we meet Rose, again we read of her heartache and true friendship.
After Rose's mum dies, she receives a letter from a lawyer informing her that she has been left an estate in Argentina, by her great grandmother. Not knowing anything about her, she decides to travel to Argentina, to find out the truth.
Will Rose discover the answers about her hidden past?

When Rose is unexpectedly summoned to an attorneys office in reference to a small box left to her grandmother from a place called Hope’s House. She is very confused. To her knowledge, no one in her family was aware that her grandmother was adopted. The items inside left next to no clues and when Rose’s own mother’s health starts to fail, she sets the box aside, not completely forgotten but certainly not something requiring her immediate attention.

No sooner than she says goodbye to her mother, Rose receives a letter from an attorney in Argentina of all places. She has been left a magnificent estate and much more thanks to her great grandmother Valentina. Hoping a trip to Argentina will unlock the mysteries of the box and of her past, Rose heads there on a whim where a whole new world awaits her.

The sixth installment of Soraya Lane’s The Lost Daughter series doesn’t not disappoint. In fact, this series gets better with each installment and I can’t wait to see where we travel to next! Many thanks to Bookouture, NetGalley & Soraya Lane for an early peak of the next installment of a series I can’t get enough of

The Spanish Daughter is the sixth book in Soraya Lane's Lost Daughters series and just as engaging and enjoyable a read as the others in the series. A dual timeline novel, the older timeline tells the story of Valentina Santiago, an Argentinian heiress whose father is raising her to take over his thriving business. Her mother is cold and distant, favoring her son from her first marriage. The second timeline takes place in the present day with Rose receiving a box holding clues to her family history from a place called Hope's House where her grandmother had been born and secretly placed for adoption. As her grandmother and mother have both passed, Rose learns that she is the beneficiary of her great grandmother's massive estate in Argentina. The story pulled me in right away as Soraya Lane skillfully weaved the two timelines back and forth seamlessly. Why was her grandmother placed for adoption? How did her great grandmother know she even existed? So many questions to be answered - and all the loose ends are wrapped up nicely in the end, giving me the happy ending that I love so much. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This book absolutely destroyed me and had me sobbing… Everything about it is just heartbreaking and beautiful, and just filled me with so much emotion… One of those books that will always stick with you once you’ve read it. It’s been days and I still can’t get this breathtaking story out of my head. I honestly don’t think there are words adequate enough to describe how hard I fell for this book and the beautiful story it holds!

This place that feels magical, it’s so stunning.

Treat the people who work for you with kindness and generosity, and they’ll be there for you when you truly need them.

I love this series! This was a heartbreaking, emotional story.
Valentina’s story really tugged at my heartstrings. A loving father who was such an influence on her in a positive way. Her mother cruel and selfish, self serving who tries to destroy all the good her husband has done after he dies.
Rosie’s grieving two important women in her life. Her grandmother and mother.
Rose discovers her roots, her ‘true home’ as she learns about her family history in beautiful Argentina.
This story is a page turner, intriguing, secrets, drama, passion, courage, sacrifices and more.
Have tissues close by as you will be crying happy and sad tears as you read.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.

This was my first Soraya Lane novel but it won’t be my last! I absolutely loved The Spanish Daughter and raced through it, eager to see all the threads come together.
I was intrigued by the Argentine setting and the dual narrative worked brilliantly, as we follow Valentina in the past and Londoner Rose in the present, trying to piece together why she’s been left an estate in Argentina and unlock the secrets of her great-grandmother.
Handsome polo player Benjamin was the perfect hero, and I also loved Rose’s best friend Jessica – both how supportive she was, and the glimpses of her glamorous life in New York.
This was such a romantic, heartbreaking, and wonderful book. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advance copy.

1939: The forbidden romance between an heiress and a stable boy. Spanning over decades of longing and stolen kisses, and a secret far kept, it tells the story of Valentina and Felipe.

Present Day: Rose is reeling from a deep loss, aboard a flight headed to a land she's never known any ties to but might just unearth some long hidden ones.

I adore exploring new countries through books and I can gladly say that Argentina has been crossed off.
Although I wish the cultural aspect was more prominent.

As sweet as the romance was between Rose and Benjamin, I can't help but think the relationship between Valentina and Felipe was a little icky.

But if I were to discuss exactly what I felt was off, I'd be giving away the majority of plot so I think it's better upto individual interpretation.

Thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

And she did it again. What an incredible book! I love being along on the life journeys in this series. Even though the premise is the same. They all have a link back to Hope's House where a woman once helped mothers in precarious situations birth their babies and find them a living home. Then generations later, a descendant is given a memento box that has them digging into their family's past. But the author always manages to provide fresh stories. This one was no different. They take place between the past and present and the timelines are expertly linked and transitioned. I'm never lost and I feel the raw emotion. These stories stick with you. Whenever I see a book in this series, it flies to the top of my reading list.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for an advanced reading copy.

I love dual stories between decades and this author weaves a wonderful tale!

In the 1930's, a shared kiss between kids promise a love that will last forever. But many things happen over the years and you cannot help but hold onto hope just as they did.

In the current day, Rose is left with a box from Hope's House but her mother was ill so it was put in a drawer and forgotten. Who knew that the little wooden horse figurine and a scrap of silk would take her to Argentina months later?

Who doesn't remember their first love? I think there's a tiny portion of your heart that holds the feelings you had for that person. And memories you never forget. Decades later, and you still think of that first kiss. In this book I think the story from the 30's teaches us that true love can last a lifetime, even if you are apart. And I think the story from the current day help Rose find home. I was offered an ARC from Netgalley and wanted to post my thoughts. This is one of those books that will have you remembering your own first love.

Rose and Benjamin's story is another solid book in this wonderful series. The story did seem a little rushed and did not have the depth of the present story that others had, but a little more end of life, beginning of relationship (present day) would have helped the book be even better.

Suffice to sat though, if you have not yet read any of The Lost Daughters booksy by Soraya Lane, you are missing out on a wonderful series and a strong voice of the genre.

This is the latest in Soraya Lane’s The Lost Daughter series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. This one sure is an emotional one! Set in dual timelines, this story is about Valentina in the 1930s and Rose in present times. Their connection is revealed early in the story and leads to Rose traveling to beautiful Argentina where she finds an unexpected love for the country as well as a handsome and kind man.

two women and two timelines this is a powerful tearjerker of a read.

Rose has lost her mother recently and she finds a box of keepsakes amongst her things.

Setting out on a quest to discover why they are so special and the deep connections they hold, Rose finds more than could ever imagine.

This book is amazing. I just loved the setting of Argentina, it is wonderfully descriptive and just perfect to spend a day reading and soaking up the atmosphere within the pages..

I thoroughly enjoy The Lost Daughter series and it keeps getting better. (Book 1 was brilliant!)
This is riveting, emotional, heartbreaking, a tear-jerker! There’s a wonderful setting in Argentina, with horses and polo matches, a vast estate in glorious sunshine.

It’s a dual timeline story with Rose in the present day and Valentina in the 1930s. Valentina suffers greatly at the hands of her cruel and selfish mother. She’s forced to make difficult choices, lasting through generations. In the last year Rose has struggled with profound grief. First her beloved grandmother died, then in the last month her dear mother passed. She is disorientated and feeling lost when she receives a package intended for her grandmother. Rose journeys to Argentina to find the truth behind the box. She wants to know the secret of her grandmother’s parentage. Along the way she discovers herself and her Spanish roots.
An intriguing and interesting page-turning read.
