My full review of Finding Lady Enderly
Finding Lady Enderly is not your typical romance. Finding Lady Enderly starts as a sort of rags to riches story. Raina is swept up like Cinderella to the ball, her rags turned to silk, and suddenly she’s the Lady. But it isn’t all diamonds and fancy dresses. Her new life is a lie, and it weighs heavily on her shoulders. Her struggle wasn’t just with God and her spirituality. She struggled with morality and if she was doing the right thing.
The romance of the novel is a little more subtle, as it draws heavily on the long lost love of Raina’s life. But he is no longer there to rescue her from her predicaments, and she finds that she needs to rescue herself instead. Every day she spends as Lady Enderly pulls her further into danger and deceit.
There are so many amazing romantic gestures that made my heart swoon. Communicating to your love by marking lines of text in classic novels from Bronte, Austen, and Dickens is a surefire way to a booklovers heart. Add glances across the room, glimpses of a familiar face in a crowd, and a song that will move your heart, and even though we don’t see the hero’s side of the romance, we don’t really need to.
The ending has several unexpected moments. Surprises and twists on what I thought was going to happen. In many ways, these were amazing, but I did feel a little cheated on my happily ever after – it didn’t happen soon enough. The story ends in a way that vividly reminds me of the classics used in the story, with a more settled feel and deliberate feel to it, but heartwarming and satisfying in its own way.

Don’t read this book if:
– You really dislike Christian themes – religion is an integral part of the characters themselves
– You want loads of romance and contact between characters, this is a more subtle approach
– Main characters placed in circumstances where they HAVE to lie
