A lovely little novella, The Blacksmith's Son was an enjoyable read. Romantic and full of secrets, this novella was a wonderful read.Ally was a great heroine. Having been falsely accused of stealing from her employer after seeing him with his knife embedded in a dead man's chest, she went on the run and hid to avoid being arrested. However, in this case, not all was as it seemed....but I'm not going to give away those secrets. I really liked Ally. She was a tough woman. My one complaint was that I didn't understand why she couldn't just accept Quentin's help. He was offering it with no strings attached and she definitely needed help, so I didn't get why she stubbornly insisted on running away from him. Otherwise, I thought she was great.Quentin was wonderful. He was so sweet and determined to do what was right. He was strong, clever, and a worthy hero. I thought he was just perfect. There was some steaminess, of course, though it wasn't too much. These two were lovely together.The plot was fast paced. I was hooked the entire way through. The truth of what really happened took me by surprise and I wonder if we're going to get another story out of that. We'll see. I really enjoyed the story and I thought the ending was lovely.The Blacksmith's Son was a wonderful historical romance novella. I really enjoyed reading it. Lovers of romance, if you want something light and quick to read, then you should check this book out.*I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
