About The Daughter of Highland Hal: Book 2, Edwardian Brides: 

What if the title, the estate, the life of security and splendor . . . what if it isn't enough?
Strong-willed and beautiful, debutante Katherine Ramsey feels ready to take the London social season by storm, and she must. Her family estate, Highland Hall, has been passed to older male cousin Sir William Ramsey, and her only means of securing her future is to make a strong debut and find a proper husband. With her all-knowing and meddling aunt as a guide, Katherine is certain to attract suitors at the lavish gatherings, sparkling with Great Britain's elite.
When a shocking family scandal sidelines Katherine, forcing her out of the social spotlight, she keeps a low profile, volunteering with the poor in London's East End. Here Katherine feels free from her predictable future, and even more so as a friendship with medical student Jonathan Foster deepens and her faith in God grows. But when Katherine is courted anew by a man of wealth and position, dreams of the life she always thought she wanted surface again. Torn between tradition and the stirrings in her heart for a different path, she must decide whom she can trust and love---and if she will choose a life serving others over one where she is served.

My thoughts:
I found this to be a great story about a young lady who thought she know what she wanted in a husband but found out that the proper husband for her was the one that helped others in need. Katherine did a lot of growing spiritually in this novel. I found it interesting to see how the rich families picked who their children could marry because of their love of money, whereas Jonathan's family who didn't have a lot of money taught their children to put God first in their lives and let them choose who they were going to marry. While this is book two in the series it can stand alone but it is so interesting I do want to go back and read more about the characters in the first book.
