Anastasia, an innocent young woman from the English countryside, now finds herself having to navigate the tricky waters of London society, catching the notice of a handsome but cynical duke in Who Brings Forth the Wind, a novel by author Lori Wick.
As I'm pretty sure I've said before, I've enjoyed this ChristFic author a lot in the past, and most of the books I've read by her, I've read more than once. I won't be finishing this novel, though.
Anastasia is timid, naive, and syrupy sweet, rather instantly falling for a man because he's a looker, I reckon. He's been huffy, arrogant, disingenuous, and blatantly forward towards her during the little time they've spent in each other's company, and she's in love with him, all of a sudden. I show more mean, yes, it's one thing not to pick up on someone's disingenuousness, but there's nothing dashing about huffiness in a man.
And, yeah, there's much ado and repetition about the characters' high levels of physical attractiveness. It's something I expect and try to let slide with this author, when I like the characters or am interested in the plot, but I'm finding neither the characters nor the plot compelling enough to stick with this story.
I really liked Wings of the Morning, though, and I'm intrigued by the thought of the fourth and last novel in the series traveling back to the 16th century. So I'll continue on with the Kensington Chronicles. show less

I've heard that reading Lori Wick's books could be compared to watching Hallmark movies and this series definitely meets that mark. Set in the Victorian era, the Kensington Chronicles are a must read for any lovers of the BBC hit TV series "Downton Abbey". Lori Wick is also unashamedly Christian fiction as her stories center around God and His work in the character's lives. I probably owe some of my deep faith to reading her books during my growing up years! She is my favourite author because I can go back to her books again and again. Many of them I read at least once a year. And I usually still can't put them down until I get to the end!
Lori did a good job of creating a unique story that is different from her previous ones. It tugged on your heart strings at times. I loved how the later events of the book unfolded, and I found myself enthralled while reading it for the second time. It was a great book.

This book has much potential in being one of the best Christian Romance novels out on the market.
