Sweet Lenora Part Three
Anton and Lenora Boudreaux have settled into an idyllic cottage overlooking San Francisco Bay. They’ve left trouble behind them and found happily ever after—family, friends, and a business that has every expectation of being successful. Until the Willow sails into port.
The captain of Willow, Jacob Lowell, is privy to secrets that threaten Lenora’s reputation and Anton’s life. When Anton sails to Seattle on a business enterprise, Jacob tries to blackmail Lenora, threatening to expose all he knows and forcing her to make decisions that will test her love of Anton and her life with him.

All Things Returned received first place honors in the colonial/Civil War/ western category of Hearts Through History's 2015 Romancing the Novel competition
San Francisco in 1852 was a growing city, full of hope and ambition and with more than a little bit of swagger and bravado. A lot, in short, like Anton and Lenora themselves. I hope you'll enjoy this part of their story, which can be read by itself or as a continuation of Sweet Lenora and To the Wind.
Reviews
“All Things Returned” continues the charming love story of Lenora and Anton. This time, though, it’s told from Lenora’s perspective. Carbone continues to dazzle with easily-pictured settings and endearing characters. In this installment, the women have the opportunity to display their perseverance and grace under fire. The plot twists continue to intrigue and the love story remains beautiful giving readers a reason to endure the wait for the next addition to this tale. Thankfully, Carbone consistently produces timeless treasures that tide us over with the promise of more to come. Sofia St. Angeles InDTale Crowned Heart for Excellence, four and half star review

"All Things Returned (Sweet Lenora Part 3) by Ute Carbone is the charming and romantic book three of the Sweet Lenora Series, which introduces readers to a story containing love, hate, betrayal, murder, and secrets. The author writes with such passion and descriptive emotion it is as if you are watching a movie on screen. The story itself has a little bit of everything from action, romance, and adventure, set in 19th-century America for readers who enjoy different genres to be on the edge of their seats in suspense, waiting to read what happens next. This book and series is truly one to touch your heart and mind as its plot is realistic, even though the characters are fictitious. I absolutely loved this book and the others. Everything from the plot, the characters, the genres, and the layout. I can't wait to see if there will be more to this epic love story." Michelle Robertson for Reader's Favorite, Five Stars

In "All Things Returned" Ute Carbone creates a historical romance combining the true flavor of the period while using characters who have battled to have the time and space to enjoy a happy and peaceful life. Told from the point of view of the heroine you experience her decisions and her reasoning while she tries to stay true to the culture of the time. As she faces betrayal, blackmail, and false accusations, you feel her anguish, along with the feelings of neglect as she waits for her hero and a rescue which may not arrive in time. A great read. Allison Knight, author of Lynbrook's Lady.
