From the very beginning, I developed an affinity for the main character, Thea. She has lost her father, and feels alone. She is married to a very brutal main, who is physically abusive. In Victorian times, the only way to handle her situation is to cover her bruises and carry on. Feeling like she has no way out, suddenly a very handsome man arrives and opens a shop right next to Thea and her husband, Ernie. I could put the book down, from that point. I was hoping this would be Thea’s way out of a bad marriage. Her happy ending, The writing is wonderful, and the author is adept at keeping the reader in suspense, if this was going to be the love story one hopes for. I highly recommend this book.

An amazing story of courage, bravery, and love. Enjoyed reading The Tobacconist's Wife right from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down, all the while hoping that Thea, in the story finds the happiness she deserves.

The main character, Thea is well described and easy to relate to. Thea marries Ernie Goodson after the death of her father. And from the onset regrets her decision. Ernie turns out to be an abuser and deals in illegal trade. Just when Thea thinks there is no hope for happiness in her life, her knight in shining amour appears. But the big question arises, can her knight save her and give her the happiness she deserves?

Summary: A wonderfully written novel, a tale worth reading. I highly recommend picking up this book.

My heart sang for Thea, a main character, to get a good ending. And you’ll have to read it to discover if she did. If you like romance novels this is a book that should proudly be on your shelf!

Really enjoyed the ups and downs in this book. Surprise s happen when unexpected. This is great book and a must read.

This was a most enjoyable book to read. The main character Thea had to be strong to survive her husband's harsh punishments. There was a good storyline and it was nice to see Thea happy at the end l do recommend this book.

First time reading this author and really enjoyed this story. The characters were strong and the story well written. Thea’s character was strong and well written.
Will definitely read this author again

I am always a sucker for a good romance. What I really enjoyed about this one is the development of Thea through the story. She goes from insecure and cowering from an abusive husband to a strong, self sufficient woman. I enjoyed the story from beginning to end.

Lovely little book , Thea is a survivor that’s for sure , married to an awful man he treats her terribly , he deals in illegal trade and is constantly abusing her .. Adam the aristocratic gentleman is trying is luck at being a hands on man and running is furniture business . Full of intrigue, romance and heartache AnneMarie Brear spins a captivating tale

would love to read and review this book but the font size is way too small for the iPhone, hence, I'm not able to give feedback on this title. Very disappointed.

Hard to read about her abuse by Earnie.
Although,I found the plot a bit hard going and leaves the reader with some questions which are not answered,maybe there will be a sequal to the book to continue with the story,felt as if it eff more questions unanswered.

It's 1855 in England. Ernie has landed a blow to Thea's head. They have been married four monthsh ea's father had beenull then ernie came along. I really liked Thea.vit was hard reading about her abuse
