Then There's Trust- Blog Tour
A forbidden love…a relationship in jeopardy…a tested trust
Darcy Dukas is fearless and feisty – but can she be trusted? Left bereft after a personal disappointment, her vulnerable mindset causes her to seize an opportunity to pursue her dream career. When Marcel Duval arrives in Durham to establish his detective agency, she agrees to work with him. But is she prepared for the risks she will encounter? Risks for her personal safety…risks to her young marriage…and risks affecting her family’s trust?
In 1952, Josh Smallwood, Darcy’s brother, returns home after completing his national service. Trying to sort his future, he begins working on the family farm and befriends Judy, a young nurse. He is baffled to discover any liaison with her is forbidden by her family. This mystery fuels an intense, secret relationship – can they overcome obstacles to be together?
A shroud of guilt clings to Chantal Martin – will she ever be free from its taint? As an unmarried mother, her once tenacious trait seems to have deserted her. Striving towards the final hurdle, an unexpected decision and an untimely event threaten to blight her resilience…can her trust be rewarded?
Then There’s Trust is a gripping, emotional story of love, fidelity and trust, set in 1950’s Northeast England.
This is the kind of family saga that draws you into the lives of its characters, with a beautiful mix of family bonds, romance, mystery and emotional moments.
Although this book can be enjoyed on its own, it’s part of a trilogy, and I think reading the previous instalments would make the experience even more rewarding. I felt as though I’d missed some important character development and background to certain relationships, which would probably have made the story even more meaningful.
Set in postwar England, the story captures the atmosphere of the time wonderfully, with believable dialogue and characters who feel like real people. Josh’s return from National Service brings an interesting new chapter to his life, particularly when he meets Judy, a young nurse. Their growing connection, complicated by her family’s disapproval, had me rooting for them and hoping they could find a way to be together.
What I loved most was the emotional depth. There were moments that made me smile, alongside others that genuinely tugged at my heartstrings. The relationships, family loyalty and unexpected challenges made this a moving and engaging read.
I would happily recommend this to anyone who enjoys heartfelt family sagas filled with romance, mystery and plenty of emotional ups and downs.
