It is 1909 and Sophia, the Countess of Averford, finds herself
alone and unhappy. Destroyed after the death of their infant
son, Sophia and her husband Gabriel have drifted apart, and
when Sophia makes a foolish mistake, Gabriel leaves her behind
in Thornbrook Park and flees to Italy for a year. With time
and distance between them, Sophia realises that she loves her
husband deeply and wants him back for good. Determined to earn
his love and respect, she takes over the running of the estate
in the hopes of proving herself. As the profits grow and
Sophia grows in confidence, her husband returns and Sophia
only hopes that it will be enough to win him back.
Gabriel returns to England with one goal in mind - to fight
for his beautiful wife. Knowing that their estrangement will
be a struggle, he has learned many new skills in his attempt
to woo the woman he loves. But as Sophia and Gabriel struggle
to find their feet in their marriage, Thornbrook Park and all
of its inhabitants still rely on them. With young charges, new
staff, misunderstandings, an abandoned baby, and unbridled
passion, can two souls find their way back to each other?
THE GREAT ESTATE by Sherri Browning is a charming, captivating
novel that will delight all romance fans, as well as Downton
Abbey enthusiasts. Part of the Thornbrook series, it can
easily be read as a standalone novel. Both Sophia and Gabriel
are flawed characters who have made mistakes in their
relationship, but as they fight to stay together, we get to
see their fears and inner demons, which makes us love them
even more. Sherri Browning's beautiful depiction of Thornbrook
Park brings the great estate to life before the readers
eyes, and there is never a dull moment with the motley of
characters involved in estate life. I thoroughly enjoyed THE
GREAT ESTATE by Sherri Browning and I cannot wait to read more
from this talented author.
