PATTERN FOR ROMANCE
Honour Metcalf's quilting needlework is admired by a wealthy customer of the Boston Mantua-maker for whom she works. In need of increasing her earnings, she agrees to create an elaborate white work bridal quilt for the dowager's niece. A beautiful design emerges as she carefully stitches the intricate patterns and she begins to dream of fashioning a wedding quilt of her own. When Honour is falsely accused of thievery and finds herself in a perilous position, merchant tailor Joshua Sutton comes to her aid. As he risks his relationships, reputation, and livelihood to prove her innocence, the two discover a grander plan.
My Review:
Pattern for Romance is set in the years just before the American revolution, Gade includes fascinating details into every day life including the political tensions of the time. What a great backdrop for romance!
Joshua is smitten quickly and becomes a knight in shining armor during repeated mishaps that befall Honour. Nothing like a protective, caring, gentleman rising to the rescue for hero material. Unfortunately, Honour isn't appreciative all the time as she struggles for independence in more then one difficult situation.
Gade has woven a intriguing plot with a twist of mystery and gentle romance that makes a quick, satisfying read.
