****4/5 stars

With Downton-Abbey appeal and a meandering pre-World War II story, The Cavendon Luck is classic Barbara Taylor Bradford.

Recommended readers:

• If you like Downton Abbey and other Edwardian English dramas
• If you’re a fan of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s family sagas
• If you enjoy a turn of the century, changing of times family drama

Here’s my Rankings:

• 4/5 for characters
• 4/5 for plot
• 4/5 overall
• 2/5 steaminess (a disturbing scene in the early part of the book bumped this up from a very tame 1)

REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

The third book in the Barbara Taylor Bradford-Cavendon Series, The Cavendon Luck meets up with our favorite characters from her previous books as the influential and connected Ingram and Swam families navigate pre-war times. Much like all her books, Cavendon Luck meanders with several plotlines – maybe even one of the most dramatic times in English history. It’s easily my favorite of the Cavendon Series.
