A lot juicier than Elizabeth Gaskell would write
I loved the book North and South. I loved the movie. This was good fluff fiction to continue the story. Quite a bit of sex I have to say. Not your Victorian love story. But not Nora Roberts either! I'm glad someone put the thought and effort into the rest of the story. All the loose ends were tied up nice and pretty.

I loved the first half of he book but didn't enjoy the rest and thus my rating. We start off at the train scene - we read deep into the emotions of John Thornton and Margaret. Even life at Milton isn't easy with the Mills reopening, Johns mother and decisions that need to be made. It was realistic for their blossoming relationship and well written. But once the novel started down a path of danger, secrets and intimacy it lost my interest. Instead of a struggle between 2 strongly defined characters the novel turned to police investigation, issues with johns mother and tragedy.
First half of the book 5 stars, second half between 2-3 stars for me.

Great continuation of the North & South story!
This is a wonderful continuation of Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South. I enjoyed the twists along the way. John and Margaret are a timeless couple.

Badly written with many mistakes and a dreadful story.

I can't leave John Thornton and Margaret Hale... and I followed them home.
I loved this simple story, where they continue with their love together.

Must read if love the series
If you love the mini series you have to read this for it is spot on with finishing up the love story. It was done so well that they should make it into a mini series part 2. The author wrote with a true love for the series and it shows.

Better Than Expected
Granted there are obvious grammatical errors and some confusing sentences, but the book was a decent read. I enjoyed it. It’s not the best book out there, but definitely not the worst. I’m a fan of N&S so it was fun to read a sequel.

S9memgo9d, s9me not so much
The first 2/3s or there abouts was a very enjoyable read. After that with the off the charts evil behavior of Hannah, the attack on Margaret & all the back & forth, I lost track of what was going on. It was an erratic & not enjoyable read.

Great
I loved this book. It scratched the itch for even more north and south. Highly recommend. Ten out of ten.

Coming Home With Me was a wonderful book. I do not enjoy having to skip pages of explicit sex. This story would have been a five but for those intimate scenes.

Surprised
I read North and South ages ago but only recently did I see the movie. This book really translates both the book and movie after parts beautifully. I read it in one sitting. Kudos to the author!

Spell check anyone?
While this book is juicy and goes into detail in all the best places, the editor of this book should be smacked with it. This was a fun and captivating read, but seemed pretty shallow for the deep, complex relationship and personalities of John and Margaret.
I mean, did anyone ever spell check this book? Writing is satisfactory although the style of writing deviates sharply from North and South. Just edit the book next time, gah! Makes it look like you don't really care about the text.
ALSO, this sequel was based off of the filmed mini series. Stick to the original!!

Typical fanfiction, which was the origin of this novel. It's about the same quality you'd expect from a self published book. This was originally from a Fanfiction site with 100 great reviews, apparently. For fanfiction, I'd say it's good, but not good enough for published work.

Nunca me cansaré de la historia de amor de Margaret y John y está bella historia cumplió todos mis expectativas románticas. La amé totalmente. Amé que la historia estuviera totalmente concentrada en la pareja, por primer vez los demás detalles eran irrelevantes.
