    A gripping, steamy romance with characters that burrowed into my heart, THE WIDOW'S PASSION by Penny Best is historical romance with an Irish twist.
    Cora believes her time for finding love has passed but nothing prepared her for the attentions of young Rowan. Their chemistry is undeniable but not everyone is supportive and there are those who want Cora for themselves, and will stop at nothing to get what they want. At a time in history when women were treated more harshly and reputation was key, can Cora find a way to be with the love of her life? And when secrets bubble to the surface, will love be enough to keep their passion alive?
    The setting, the characters, and the historical element all work perfectly together to create this beautiful romance that has heat in all of the right places. I connected with Cora and Rowan and desperately wanted them to find a way to be together through all of their hardships, and I could not put this book down until I uncovered how their story ended. THE WIDOW'S PASSION by Penny Best is a combination of excellent storytelling and just enough heat to make a reader hot under the collar, and I look forward to reading more from this exciting author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic romance, beautiful settings and perfect storytelling
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2021
    Just finished this, the stunning tale of Cora, who sees herself and has been written off as an old maid following the death of her lovely husband. Enter Rowan, a young man of the locality, who has his eyes on her.

    I adored this tale of love and lust, set against a vivid backdrop of green pastures, a beautiful cottage and a manor house. The story was stunning and had me hooked, as I waited to see if secrets would tear them apart and they battled the world against them. The romance swept me away, as did the heat and bedroom scenes and I loved that I smiled so much at nice little every day moments that were sprinkled with humour. Beyond recommended

    4.0 out of 5 stars More than a romance...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2021
    This is more than a romance though Cora and Rowan's story is full of passion. It is also a tale of its time period, its rule and social limitations and how those restrictions and controls cause the lovers endless difficulties. There are twists and turns and that makes this a 4 and a half star read... I'm just not a fan of the time period and did want to shake the pair of them a bit as they stumbled towards their HEA. Secrets are always trouble!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2021
    The story of Cora, a strong minded Irish woman wanting to find true love was a beautiful read. You spend the book hoping with all hopes that she is happy with what life throws at her. The writer has a lovely talent with describing scenes and you spend your time trying to picture the story. I really enjoyed it.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2021
    I was rooting for Cora from the start, a widow who still has plenty of love to give. The young man who captures her heart is a man any woman would lust after. But there are obstacles in all true love stories and this does not disappoint. I enjoyed this lustful romance from start to finish. A great read.
