A Return of Devotion

Haven Manor Series, Book 2

By: Kristi Ann Hunter

Narrated by: Beverley A. Crick

Daphne Blakemoor was perfectly happy living in her own secluded world for 12 years. She had everything she needed - loved ones, a true home, and time to indulge her imagination. But when ownership of the estate where she works as a housekeeper passes on, and the new marquis has an undeniable connection to her past, everything she's come to rely upon is threatened.

William, Marquis of Chemsford's main goal in life is to be the exact opposite of his father. Starting a new life in the peace and quiet of the country sounds perfect until his housekeeper turns his life upside down.

They've spent their lives hiding from the past. Can they find the courage to face their deepest wounds and, perhaps, find a new path for the future together?

Brilliant

I LOVE This Series ... xXx Amazing really ♡ I listen in the car and it really made me so calm and happy... thank you Kristi ann Hunter

Incredible

I have enjoyed every book that I've read or listened to by Kristi Ann Hunter. I enjoy the way that she develops characters and their relationships. This story had multiple layers and different relationships beyond the central romance. I enjoyed them all, but I'm focusing my review on the central characters.

In this story, I loved that Daphne is a fragile warrior. She's timid, but not weak. She lacks confidence, but not character. She regrets her past mistake, but wouldn't change the outcome. However, she's still keeping secrets and they will be brought into the light.

William, Marquis of Chemsford was not expecting to a champion. He was simply looking for an out of the way place to run his estates and be a better man than his father had been.

I loved watching Daphne and William's relationship unfold one revelation at a time. I couldn't wait for their love to bloom, but found myself sad when the story ended. I wanted more time with these characters. I want to know what happens to them in the future, and I hope that the author will bless us with glimpses of these characters in her future books.

Acceptance

A wonderful story of people learning to accept themselves and others that are not what others think they should be. Enjoyed!!

Sweet Love

Grateful for the opportunity to read this series. The stories are realistic and well conceived, and show how a Christian should behave.

A great sequel to “A Defense of Honor “

I loved the ability of the author to endear the characters to the reader. I also love the bit of humor (I laughed out loud) skillfully inserted Into the story.

I never want the story to end and want to know the rest of the story. I can’t wait to see what happens to the other characters. I think it would make a great TV series if done well (like Downton Abby)
