Here is the book summary:
Book 2 in Reader Favorite Michelle Griep’s Charming Once Upon a Dickens Christmas Series
London, 1853: Innkeeper’s daughter Mina Scott will do anything to escape the drudgery of her life, for there’s nothing more mundane than serving customers day after day. Every minute she can, she reads and dreams of someday becoming a real lady—and catch the eye of William Barlow, a frequent guest at the inn.
William is a gentleman’s son, a charming but penniless rogue. However, his bachelor uncle will soon name an heir—either him or his scheming cousin. In an effort to secure the inheritance, William gives his uncle the impression he’s married, which works until he’s invited to bring his wife for a visit.
William asks Mina to be his pretend bride, only until his uncle names an heir on Christmas Day. Mina is flattered and frustrated by the offer, for she wants a true relationship with William. Yet, she agrees. . .then wishes she hadn’t. So does William. Deceiving the old man breaks both their hearts. When the truth is finally discovered, more than just money is lost.
Can two hearts survive such deception?

And now, my review:
A Tale of Two Hearts is set in historical London in the 1800s and is the second book in the Dicken’s Christmas series by Michelle Griep. I love how the author speaks of God’s love and constant forgiveness that He extends. She also encourages contentment, thankfulness, and second chances. This is a story about a lowly innkeeper’s daughter, a young law clerk, and a rich uncle. These characters have dreams and desires and they are trying to navigate their lives the best they can. This being said, they don’t always make the wisest of choices. As a reader, we all get to see how this all unfolds. Happy reading.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
