The second book in the Whispers On The Moors series, The Headmistress of Rosemere has totally blown my socks off and made me spill my tea ! I haven't had much reading time in the past few days but when I did I totally consumed this book. Only a book-lover would understand. What is not to understand about the excellence of this book though ? There is a carry over from the first book of things. William Sterling is almost a totally different person in this second book than he was in the first. Matu ...more

I loved the premise of a good love story between the headmistress of the school and the owner of the property, set in the moors in winter and filled with secrets and dark twists and turns. Very Jane Eyre-esque, and Anne loves that kind of stuff. Unfortunately, it just...wasn't...really...great. It's not a bad book, really it isn't, it's just pretty basic. Simple. Boring. I wanted much more.

The two leads, Patience Creighton and William Sterling, were actually really, really loveable and their story could have been deliciously scrumptious if they had, you know, spent time together. Their first few scenes were great and the romantic tension was perfect, but then it started to evaporate little by little as the author focused on other subjects and characters that were less important, and Patience and William aren't even in the same room until the end. The entire middle chunk was devoted to the annoying, one-dimensional secondary characters that added little to nothing to the story. Ms. Ladd spent so much time making sure we understood every character's every emotion that she forgot to actually develop her characters. Instead of letting us figure out that so-and-so was sad and such-and-such was happy, it was all spelt out, repeated, repeated, and repeated. I find this author's writing style very repetitive to begin with, but the detailing of so many unnecessary thoughts and actions really got on my nerves. I mean, how many times must it be stated that Patience's mother hasn't recovered since her father's death?! Or that William feels unworthy of love? Or that the housekeeper was more of a friend than a housekeeper? Those are things we were able to see plainly without being told, yet it was repeated many times and took up way too much space that should have been used for character and romantic developments.

I was pleased to see that it was much less preachy than The Heiress of Winterwood, but overall it was still too elementary and underdeveloped to really captivate me. And there were too many cheesy phrases along the lines of "Oh, foolish romantic notions! He'd never look twice at her!" or "Everything he'd ever thought he was unworthy of, Patience was now giving him." I might just not be in the mood for that, but seriously. No. ...more

Looking forward to getting a copy of the series' final installment, A Lady at Willowgrove Hall.
Also, this is personal opinion, but I could really envision William & Patience being played by these two actors:

Sarah Ladd has successfully penned two books utilizing a beautiful cadence of story, history, love and intrigue. Patience Creighton, so hesitant to resist change, is suddenly enraptured by change with the entrance of William Sterling into her life. His secrets and her determination combine for many chapters of delightful reading.

I have to say I enjoyed this one. It wouldn't rate among my favorite historical romances, but it was just different and entertaining enough to make it stand out to me. There are a few things that were a little hard to believe, but mostly it was a fun read.

I really liked the heroine and hero. The hero is a bit different from the normal debauched hero, in that he's trying to reform himself before he meets the heroine. You see him struggling to get his life together before and while he's falling in I have to say I enjoyed this one. It wouldn't rate among my favorite historical romances, but it was just different and entertaining enough to make it stand out to me.

I really liked the heroine and hero. The hero is a bit different from the normal debauched hero, in that he's trying to reform himself before he meets the heroine. You see him struggling to get his life together before and while he's falling in love with the heroine, rather than his transformation being because of her. And the heroine's struggle to be the headmistress of the school while dealing with family difficulties and such was really endearing and heartbreaking.

I think my only real complaint is that I wanted more. I wanted a bit more romance between the pair and more of the side stories, which isn't something I say normally. I was left with these massive questions about the side characters that I hoped would be addressed in other books in the series (though it looks like the other books don't really have much to do with each other). It wasn't in a way that made me feel like the story was lacking, but it just left me wanting more, and I wish I'd gotten some of it.

So, this was a fun read and different from the majority of historical romances. Definitely worth picking up, and I'll be checking out her other books.

UPDATE: So, I finally broke down and read the first book in the series and decided to re-read this afterward because I couldn't remember a thing about it. And I'm sorry to say that I didn't enjoy this quite as much the second go around.

First off, I was disappointed that there was nothing of the first book's hero and heroine in the story. From the way book one ended, I had thought that the hero was going to get out of the navy as soon as possible to be with his family more, but it's been two years, and he's still off at sea with no end in sight. Other than a really brief mention, there was nothing about them, even though they live next door to the hero in this story. Though there is some backstory that would justify it to a degree, it felt really bizarre not to have any mention of them. Book 1's hero and heroine basically disappear, which is really sad. One of the things I love about romance series is that the other books often serve as a bit of an epilogue for the previous heroes and heroines.

Then, I found I wasn't as enthralled with the love story. I didn't remember a thing since I first read it, so it was a bit like reading it for the first time, and I was disappointed with how insta-love the story is. The hero and heroine really only are attracted to each other and have so little interaction that there doesn't seem to be any real basis for their feelings except for chemistry.

And there's plot points that are just dropped and never brought up again. Little things here and there that felt like loose ends or plot holes.

Overall, Ladd's romances are slow burns, but I've enjoyed them so far because they're more serious romances and less of the fluffy rom-com stuff. Don't get me wrong, fluffy is fine at times, but I prefer serious romance with realistic characters and conflicts.

So, I still enjoyed it and will go onto the next, but I've changed my star rating from 4 to 3 (rounding down from 3.5). I enjoyed it, but I won't be re-reading it again. ...more

Ms. Ladd paints a wonderful picture with Ms. Creighton as her main character, with her fight over the girls' school her father left behind and her attempts to keep the place running even against the wishes of some.

Life was not always so harsh. Before her father died, Patience had her brother Rowan and mother to lean on. But all that has changed now. Rowan has deserted the family and Patience has given him up for gone while her grieving mother continues to dote on him. It wouldn’t be SO bad except her mother also refuses to see that Patience has kept their girl’s school afloat. Instead Mrs. Creighton talks incessantly about her dear boy and how when Rowan comes home he will set things right. Patience is not amused. While dealing with frustration and stress Patience also sees to the care and schooling of her 20+ charges. Distraction comes in the form of William Sterling, her landlord. When he turns up in their barn suffering from injuries Patience is immediately intrigued. But William is not keen on sharing the details.

William has a reputation and not a good one. He knows that, but rather than face up to responsibility he blames his misfortune on a past heartbreak. Now he’s so far in debt it’s doubtful he’ll ever fight his way out of it. Then one night the Creightons’ barn burns down. Suspicions run high, but he can prove nothing. Is someone trying to send him a message at the risk of putting Patience Creighton and her students in danger? After all one of his creditors had been so brash as to sic henchman on him once before. As his long list of woes continue to grow William is tossed together with headmistress Patience Creighton who has her own battles to fight.

Not bad, not bad. I first became acquainted with the work of Sarah E. Ladd a few months ago through The Heiress of Winterwood (predecessor of The Headmistress of Rosemere). Personally the THoW was a more favorable read (it had ships, donchyaknow), but THoR wasn’t too shabby. Ms. Ladd is in a class of her own when it comes to Regency fiction. Her stories are rather simple but still rich. Details come alive in a new way which makes up for the lack of mystery in the plot. The descriptions of the scenes that surround the characters are truly colorful.

I wouldn’t call the book a page-turner, although I did read THoR in one sitting, but it isn’t boring either. There isn’t too much scandal which is something I appreciated. Action is limited but the stories are more character driven as both William and Patience fight their personal battles. Overall it’s a recommended read.

About the Book:

Patience Creighton will finally find the peace she lost years ago--if she can open her heart and forgive the man who loves her.

Bright, sensible Patience knows what is expected of her. At twenty-five, her opportunity for a family of her own has passed, so she finds contentment teaching at her father's school for girls. When her father dies suddenly and her brother moves away to London, she is determined to keep her father's dream alive.

Confirmed bachelor William Sterling also knows About the Book:

When her father dies suddenly and her brother moves away to London, she is determined to keep her father's dream alive.

Confirmed bachelor William Sterling also knows what is expected of him, but mistake after mistake has left him teetering on ruin's edge. As master of Eastmore Hall he owns a great deal of land but possesses little money to manage the upkeep. He is desperate to find a new source of income, including the sacrifice of land connected to Rosemere.

When her brother returns with a new wife to take over management of the school, Patience is heartbroken to no longer be responsible for her beloved school and is forced to reassess God's purpose for her life. After her sister-in-law's matchmaking brings Patience and William together, they both learn new truths about their character and find a common goal in restoring Eastmore's legacy.

About the Author:

Sarah E. Ladd received the 2011 Genesis Award in historical romance for The Heiress of Winterwood. She is a graduate of Ball State University and has more than ten years of marketing experience. Sarah lives in Indiana with her amazing husband, sweet daughter, and spunky Golden Retriever.

My Review:

Patience has had a bad taste in her mouth since her brother went to London and after her father's death, leaving her in charge of Rosemere School for Young Ladies. She has always dreamed of that knight in shining armor to come and whisk her away from the mundane life of being the headmistress of Rosemere, but it's looking like a dream that was never meant to be. Because of all she has to do there and all of her obligations she seems stuck there. But like the old adage, stop looking for true love and then it will find you. And find her it does in the form of William.

William owes some important people big and if he doesn't pay up soon his life will be given in return for the amount owed. Soon William gets the idea to look to an old friend for help but once he gets there he hears terrible news about his friend and in turn now doesn't know what he is going to do. William instantly thinks Patience is very attractive but her beauty isn't going to help him and the fix he is in, or will it?

So far...
- too much description of shallow things, all about how things look or how Patience feels, but no complex backstory compared with the classics. Listening to Jane Eyre again and the books are poles apart.
- romance is very trivial, all about looks even though it's set in 19th century England.
- Not unreadable, but pretty tedious.

Sarah E. Ladd caught my attention immediately with the vivid description of darkness and danger in the night. William Sterling sensed he was being followed. He was, and what happened from there lead the reader to the Rosemere School for Girls where we meet Patience Creighton before dawn, coming unexpectedly face to unconscious face with William Sterling to tend his wounds. There is a tinge of possible romance developing– at least from the imagination of Patience.

Having not read Sarah Ladd’s writings previously, or realizing this book is the second in the series, “Whispers on the Moors,” The Headmistress of Rosemere stands second to none in excellent story quality and clear Christian morality. I consider it a stand-alone story. However, it is my intention to read The Heiress of Winterwood, the first novel in this series. It is not my tendency to draw out details of the events and interactions of the characters in my reviews, at the risk of spoiling the read for others. My purpose is to draw the reader’s interest as a possible read depending on their own taste and expectation.

However, I will introduce the major characters who Sarah Ladd has casted so appropriately in her story. Lovely in appearance and a credit to her name, raven haired Patience Creighton is the Headmistress of Rosemere since the passing of her beloved father, leaving her mother Margaret grief-stricken and inconsolable. Rawdon, older brother of Patience, disappeared, neglecting his inherited duties at Rosemere, abandoning his lady love, causing all the women vexation and disillusionment. Handsome William Sterling inherited Eastmore and his father’s holdings, including Rosemere. An impractical and fast living man, whose drinking and gambling are causing him insurmountable problems. William is in dire financial straits, risking the loss of everything. Raising race horses appeals to William as an answer to solving his financial difficulties, but will it? Emma Simmons, one of the little girls at Rosemere is one of Patience’s favorites. How does a child so small and innocent figure such prominence in Ms. Ladd’s plot? Cassandra, a teacher at Rosemere, is the best friend of Patience and in love with Rawdon. Who are Lydia, Isabel, George, Lewis, Captain Rafertee, Ewan O’Connell and Angus? Each character and others essential to this setting are refined to perfection and mixed well with the era to bring about Ms. Ladd’s fascinating and curious story. Enjoyment of the unexpected mysterious twists amidst this Regency romance appealed to my liking.

The accentuated weight of surmounting strife is effectively calmed through forgiveness, redemption, Christian love and salvation, proving God works all things together for good for those that love Him. Indeed, God’s grace falls on the words originating from Sarah E. Ladd’s pen covering this wonderful story. Thank you, Ms. Ladd for giving me several hours of “getting away from it all” and finding myself in the nineteenth century.
