This is another great read in the “Lost Daughters” series.
A small wooden box filled with two items is all Rose base left from her biological great-grandmother.
Rose has lived her life in London and following the loss of both her grandmother and mother, she leaves London to see what Argentina holds for her.
A dual time story set up the secrets and journey of a young woman who has to face a harsh world alone.
There are many interesting details throughout this book.
The main characters are well formed and the story engaging.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. My opinions are my own.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this eCopy to review

I recently read "The Spanish Daughter" by Soraya Lane, and it was a truly moving experience.

The novel is set in two timelines: 1939 Argentina and present-day London. It follows the story of Valentina, a Spanish heiress, and Rose, a modern-day woman uncovering her family's past. Valentina's tale is one of forbidden love and heartbreak, as she is torn between her duty to her family and her love for a stable hand. Meanwhile, Rose, who has recently lost her mother, discovers a mysterious box that leads her to Argentina in search of her roots.

As Rose delves deeper into her family's history, she uncovers the poignant story of Valentina and her lover, which intertwines with her own life in unexpected ways. The novel beautifully captures the essence of love, loss, and the courage to follow one's heart, even in the face of societal expectations.

"The Spanish Daughter" is a heartfelt and engaging read that will resonate with anyone who enjoys historical fiction and stories about family and love. If you're looking for a book that will tug at your heartstrings and keep you turning the pages, this one is definitely worth picking up!

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Soraya Lane.

From the beginning I found it hard to put it down. It had me
crying with sadness and joy as we read about Rose finding out about her family member from a past generation, named Valentina, who was her great-grandmother

I’ve loved reading each book in this series and I can’t wait for the next one.

I highly recommend this book.

When Rose finds out that she has inherited an estate belonging to her great nan, soon after the death of her nan and her mum, she decides to go from London to Argentina to try and find out more about her roots.

In Argentina, 1939, Valentina’s world falls apart following the death of her father. She travels alone to England and vows that she will go back to Argentina and fight for what is hers.

Rose stays at the estate and learns about the country and land from Benjamin, who her great nan helped. Rose slowly falls for Benjamin but is Argentina where she wants to be?

This is a beautiful story that brought a tear to my eye.

My heart went out to Valentina, who was barely more than a child when her troubles started. I was willing her to be brave and strong, to fight for what was hers.

The story was told over two timelines and I found them to be interesting, I was invested in both stories.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more of her books.

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

i knew this would be a book for me. this is part of a lost daughters series but all are perfect as their own standalones. this was one of my favorite writing styles. where you have the character who is going on a journey after finding a "mystery something". in this case we have a box full of history left to Rose by her grandmother. Rose isn't doing too well. shes lost two most important woman in her life in quite quick succession. the grief of course feels to huge. this box gives her both some answers and some purpose. it could hold the key to her grandmothers past. so on we go...
and again another thing i love in when our character goes to these other(mostly Europe) destinations. the descriptions are so vivid. and i find myself both imagining them and wanting to go to them! you can smell, feel and see the lanes they walk the scenes they see. Rose travels to Argentina where she is to learn so much more than she ever realized about her grandmother Valentina and then about herself. along the way she discovers so much loss and heartbreak that her beloved had to go through. but can it embolden her. and what happens when she meets and starts to fall in love.
can she believe in love. and can take a chance taking on some of her grandmothers own bravery to heal her own... can she grasp some of her grandmothers events in life as strengths to her own.

i loved this book. it was so beautiful. i liked reading about the culture, the scenes i felt i could see as a reel in my own mind. and this for me is historical fiction as its best. you have the dual timeline where you learn of the characters here and now but also you get the story of someone from the past too. and both have their rightful positions in this book. when done right these books for me are perfection. oh and of course we have a little bit of romanc, even better.

I had high hopes for *The Spanish Daughter* given that it was presented as historical fiction book, but unfortunately, it turned nothing like that. The story felt overly predictable, with clichéd characters and a plot that lacked depth. The only historical element was that Rose couldn't get her daughter back because WW2 started but really nothing more about that period, what could have been a highlight but was underdeveloped and overshadowed by melodrama. The romance felt forced and unconvincing. Characters were unrealistic. Rose was described as a lawyer and a woman with some life experience but after she arrived to Argentina acted as silly brainless girl, and opposite Valentina, daddy's girl being 17 year old took responsibility for her life and magically created perfectly stable life.
Thank you for the book but I didn't meet my expectations .

Polo! Argentina! Fans of the dual time line-family-secrets novel know that most of them are set in Europe, making this a refreshing change of pace. Rose. who is grieving, decides to explore the life of her grandmother Valentina in Argentina and along the way finds a love of her own. This moves between the 1930s and the present. To be honest, as is so often the case, it's the earlier story- Valentina's story- that's more interesting. That said, I enjoyed it for the atmospherics and the characters. And Lane knows how to tell a good story.

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.
