Publisher Description
Escape into the history, opulence, and elegance of the Thousand Islands. When cholera strikes Rochester, New York, in the spring of 1899, the members of the Broadmoor family flee to their castle home in the Thousand Islands. But Amanda Broadmoor, who has always held a special compassion for the less fortunate, resolves to remain in Rochester with Dr. Blake Carstead, working to help control the spread of the dreaded disease. However, much more than Amanda’s health hangs in the balance. Mishandling of the family fortune threatens to leave the Broadmoor family penniless—and even willing to sacrifice Amanda’s future. Will she be forced to marry a man she disdains in order to save the Broadmoor legacy?

"Maybe I couldn't get as into this story because I hadn't read the others in the series? It was a little bland with law and not a lot of action for half of the book. I did like the end as the action picked up, it was an exciting ending to an other wise slow read. I loved the location as my family is from The Thousand Island area, so it was fun to imagine it as it was so long ago. Worth the read, but I probably wouldn't read it a second time."

" Peterson did not disappoint with this one. I finished this in 2 days. I couldn't put it down. I absolutely LOVED the whole Broadmoor Legacy. I'm sad it's over. Guess I'll have to start a new Peterson series. I haven't been let down yet. "

" I really loved the Broadmoor series. This was the third and final book in th eseries. In this one the three cousins are all married and starting families. The uncle who tried for years to take money from his parents estate that wasn't his comes to term with what he has done to the family. "

" If you like historical fiction and romance, but don't like all the sexuality in most novels, give the the Broadmoor Series a try. It is a great, clean read with a Godly message about forgiveness and perserverance in the midst of trouble and tribulation. It spoke to my heart! "

" This is an easy read & the first in the series I have read. I did enjoy it & think I will read the first two in the series. A quick read, light & kept my interest. "
— Pam, 7/4/2013 -
" This book was slightly disappointing. Much more intense than the books before. There were a lot of things that I cringed when I read. The other two books were much better! "
— Jen, 4/24/2013 -
" lame dialogue, only one character that I cared about and wanted to see what happened, really crazy plot "
— Rebecca, 9/24/2012 -
" I enjoyed this series of romantic novels about this trio of cousins who struggle with being individuals while hampered by their time in history where women are seen but not heard. Easy reading. "
— Carol, 8/23/2012 -
" A fine conclusion to the series. I believe a happily ever after was provided for the three leading ladies. This is a Christian novel so it is a clean book but it was missing the fun. You can still have a fun book and be clean at the same time. "
— Tiffany, 6/18/2012 -
" A conclusion to the series. I thought this one was going to start off better than the first two only to find it was another slow mover. There was tension and drama but I got sick of how Victorian the characters were. Maybe this era is just not a good read for me. "
— Sherri, 2/17/2012 -
" Wonderful series,wish there where more. "
— Dawn, 1/11/2012 -
" Rather wordy, contrived, and somewhat unbelievable. Not really what I think of when I think "Christian fiction". "
— Acarrawa, 12/8/2011 -
" Wholesome romance book. "
— V., 11/22/2011 -
" I completed the third book in the Broadmoor Series, hoping that there would be some redeeming qualities, because these authors are well-known and prolific. I was disappointed. "
— Cynthia, 11/9/2011 -
" This book, like the second in the series, was much better than the first. It was nice to finally see Fanny and Michael get together. "
— Kati, 9/10/2011 -
" This book lacked a good editor. Any Christian emphasis is tangential. It was okay to read on a cold day with a blanket covering you but not a book to learn anything. I did not find it particularly entertaining. While not mushy or sentimental, it was too perdictable. "
