I literally could not put this book down. With all of Dilly's books they keep you engaged with the characters and the story line, this one hooks you in from the start and keeps going til the end. A tale containing piracy, lies, betrayal, intrigue, lots of arguments and of course love, there are lots of secrets and disappointments, castles and large houses and loyalty. Rosie has been left to look after her siblings after her father travels to look for rare plants and her mother joins the opera. With the help of faithful Hester and Jarvis she manages to save the family from ruin, unscrupulous so called long distant relatives and very haughty house guests while keeping her poor grandfather safe from smugglers. I cannot wait for the next in the series. Well done dilly definitely one of your best.

This is a great story and well written, I couldn't put it down!!
It chronicles a story of family values, love, betrayal and in the end resolution. The time it is set in makes the story even more amazing as that period of history women had little opportunity to make major changes.

Another great book from Dilly Court as she starts a new series following the inhabitants of Rockwood Castle. Rosie, her brothers Bertie and Walter and sister Patsy live at the castle alongside their Grandfather Sir Lucian and the below stairs staff. However the castle is falling into disrepute and when Piers offers to bail them out a string of events unfolds but who is telling the truth? Easy to follow the story and wonderful characters. Thanks to Dilly Court her publisher and NetGalley.

The Rockwood Chronicles Book 1

Abandoned by their parents and left to fight for themselves, headstrong Rosalind Carey has no choice but to take charge of her younger brothers and sister in Devonshire's grand Rockwood Castle. But their much once-loved home is crumbling like the family who lives within it. Living hand to mouth and desperate to provide for the estate that depends on them, the Carey family are one debt away from ruin. Until the dashing Piers Blanchard appears on their doorstep from Cornwall, claiming that he is the rightful owner of Rockwood Castle.

I love it when I know there's a new book coming out from Dilly Court. I've read all of her books and never once been disappointed. And it looks like we are in for another treat with The Rockwood Chronicles. This is an easy book to read about the Casey and Blanchard families. Wealthy Piers Blanchard arrives at the castle to tell Rosalind that he is the rightful owner and allows Rosalind and her family to continue living there. The storyline is believable and true to the era it was written in, the characters are well developed and I just loved Rosalind's grandfather. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #HarperCollinsUK #HarperFiction and the author #DillyCourt for my ARC of #FortunesDaughter in exchange for an honest review.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
It didn’t pan out as I originally thought but I do enjoy that in any book.
I didn’t want it to end I wish the next book in the series was available now to continue enjoying this story.

Once again Dilly Court writes a great saga to delight the readers. She take sus on a journey of sorrow and hope and with wonderful characters and setting it is a winner.

An excellent read. I became fully immersed in this story, enjoying the individual characters and their play against each other.
I had no idea where the story was going to take me, but thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Looking forward to the next instalment.

A new series from Dilly and its a cracker.

Oh my I loved this book it holds so many secrets and tales that will keep you gripped into the story as you read.
A new series that will leave you hungry for more

Rockwood was home to Rosalind and her family and she would do anything she could to stop it being stolen from them.
Rosalind Carey has no choice but to take charge of her younger brothers and sister in Rockwood Castle. But their once much-loved home is crumbling like the family that lives within it.

Piers says he wants to help pay off the family’s debts. But how can Rosalind be sure he isn’t out to take what is his and leave them all homeless? Only a closely-guarded secret will convince Rosalind she can trust Piers to protect her family – and her fragile heart.
Loved this book from start to finish and so looking forward to the next instalment.
Thanks as always to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the early read

Loved this saga I was drawn right in.The setting the characters came alive I was immersed in their lives.Looking forward to the next book in the series.#netgalley #harpercollinsuk

Im the biggest fan of Dilly Court just love her story telling and way of writing. She can’t do any wrong in my eyes and I was looking forward to reading this new series. Loved it! This was great read and I loved the characters. I had no idea how it was going to end. This was a page turner, and I finished the second half in one sitting because I had to know the ending. Roll on the next instalment.

A brilliant start to Dilly Courts' next series. It is so easy to immerse ones self in the story and feel part of it. The characters were easy to relate to and the storyline was very compelling. Excellent read!

I confess, I wasn’t sure at first but so glad I kept going. Loved it. My special character was Sir Lucien, who brought such fun to the story with his antics. Lady Pentelow was a force to be reckoned with. Especially, coming to live in the castle with her two sons Alex and Piers who would prove to be a welcome distraction for Rosalind. Look forward to the next in the series.
Definitely recommend this book.

A good read.This was an interesting story about the Carey's who lived at Rockwood Castle and the Blanchard's who owned an estate in Cornwall. When Rosalind Carey's family find themselves in financial difficulties after her father dies and her mother goes off to find fame as an opera singer ,Piers Blanchard offers to help them but there are lots of secrets to uncover before matters are finally resolved between the families .

This was a book that l could not stop reading. There was plenty of excitement and drama. Loved the characters and cannot wait for the next book to find out what happens.

Absolutely brilliant.
Anyone who loves a family saga will just love this book.
Read it in a day and just couldn’t put it down
