Ta'Mara Hansom's The Pretender: A Blackguard in Disguise is an amazing first volume in her "Caselli Family Secrets" series. It recounts the story of Tillie Caselli and Noah Hansen, who have pledged their love for one another and plan to marry. But when the appearance of infidelity to those promises appears, there's a tragedy that results in lives changed for nearly everyone involved.The Pretender is at once a fun book that will also have you in tears at a variety of points. It's a complicated tale above love at first sight that ultimately leads to a question: Is this Tillie's knight in shining armor -- or her blackguard?
The Caselli's are such a loving family, offering support and forgiveness. They love God and do their best to follow his ways. They have high values, and they are prayer warriors. But there's a twist in their lives that ultimately leads to a different, unplanned adventure.
I received a free copy of this book as part of the LitFuse Publicity Blog Tour in exchange for my honest review here.
