The Daughter of River Valley by Victoria Cornwall




So today it is my turn on the blog tour for this exciting new novel from Victoria Cornwall read on for more details

The Daughter of River Valley
Beth Jago appears to have the idyllic life, she has a trade to earn a living and a cottage of her own in Cornwall's beautiful River Valley. Yet appearances can be deceptive..

Beth has a secret. since inheriting her isolated cottage she has been receiving threats, so when she finds a man in her home she acts on her instincts. One frying pan to the head and she has robbed the handsome stranger of his memory and has almost killed him.
Brought together by unknown circumstances, and fearful he may die, she reluctantly nurses the intruder back to health. Yet can she trust the man with no name who has entered her life, or is he as dangerous as his nightmares suggest? As they learn to trust one another, the outside world threats worsen. Are they linked to the man with no past? Or is the real danger still outside waiting........ and watching them both? 

This is the first book I have read by Victoria Cornwall and also the first book I have read from this genre, and I was hooked from the first few pages. I really enjoyed reading about the history of the River Valley and learning about the two very strong characters. One who remembers nothing and Beth who has had plenty of suffering  in her past, which has lead to her being very strong and independent. This means you understand her actions around wanting to protect her grandfathers cottage, especially when she is so isolated in the River Valley. You also really feel her pain and understand why she feels a responsibility to the unnamed man she injured and why she feels she needs to nurse him back to health. However this proves difficult at times as she tries to protect her reputation, and her income that she gets from the sewing trade she has learnt from her past working in a workhouse. 
The book is set in the beautiful and very picturesque  River Valley and the history of the area is very well described and explained to you. You also get a good understanding of the work and trades within the area. 
I would rate this book five stars as I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will be downloading more of Victoria Cornwall's books.
