Upon being abruptly uprooted from her idyllic childhood home, Margaret is thrust into the industrial world of Milton where conflict, inequity, and bitterness seem to beset her at every turn. How can she ever find peace and happiness in such a place?
Mr. Thornton longs for the chance to show this newcomer from the South that beneath his strict adherence to business principles he possesses a heart. Captivated from the first by her beauty, strength, and independent spirit, the lonely Master finds himself increasingly tantalized by her presence and stirred by her words.
When a riot breaks out at Marlborough Mills, events take a decidedly different turn from the novel, spinning a story of attraction and developing love in a whole new direction….
From the author of "A Heart for Milton" comes another tale of the burgeoning love and longing between John Thornton and Margaret Hale, those exquisitely drawn characters from Elizabeth Gaskell's masterpiece "North and South."

4.5 starsThe original book and the movie with Richard Armitage are favorites of mine. I have read other variations and/or sequels.
This book is a variation of the original plot and while the course of events does not vary radically from canon it is the romance that drew me in and kept me turning pages. The author spends a great deal of time inside John's and Margaret's minds as John proposes at the same time as in canon BUT is accepted as he tells her upfront that he loves her. And the next day he also writes a letter stating in detail his admiration and respect for her...even though she has challenged him in public and painted him as uncaring for his employees.
I marveled at the author's ability to write so well not only the physical draw, the magnetic attraction, between John and Margaret, but also the determination by John to respect and not compromise his love light. Margaret cannot quite understand the reason she accepted his hand but can't deny the new and disturbing feelings when she is in his presence or when he touches her and even more so when he kisses her. As he hears her ideas or suggestions as to management and labor relations he finds ways of coming up with solutions all his own but yet pleasing to her. He also finds ways to respect her relationship with Higgins and his daughter, Mary.
Many of the main points in canon are here: Hannah Thornton's possessive and protective relationship with her son, Mrs. Hale's failing health, John Hale's exile and short return, Mr. Hale's tutoring of John and their friendship, the strike and how is concludes (with one varying point), Leonard's happening upon John at the RR station, the Crystal Exposition in London, etc.
But we have a period of time after the wedding and then an Epilogue which bring some very sweet moments...yes, the honeymoon is written of but without graphic details. I enjoyed reading of this extended period as it settled for me, the reader, how John kept in his heart the ideals of honor and respect that he and Margaret nurtured and grew together between them and towards their family, their community and those who worked in his factory.
This was a very satisfying and lovely read which I can recommend to lovers of North and South.

In Consequence A Retelling of North and South edition by Trudy Brasure Romance eBooks Reviews
I really enjoyed this version of North and South. I particularly liked John Thorton. This has him just as I imagine he would be... all consuming, full of integrity and honor, passionate and emotional. The author developed Mrs Thorton with more layers than just the oddly proud and protective mother of JT. Although not dramatically changed, she has more depth. Read it you won't be disappointed. It is a very entertaining retelling.
I still like Trudy Brasure's first "what if" novel based on North and South better than this one, but In Consequence is also a very good read on its own. I really like John Thornton a lot in this book. I love how he allowed his passion and love for Margaret to finally take action and not hold back. His physical description in this book brought to mind Richard Armitage more.
I was relieved that the book was not filled with lots of misunderstandings keeping John and Margaret apart until near the end of the book. I would not have like that at all. I know that a lot of publishers and readers too feel that for a romance novel to be good it has to keep the hero and heroine apart and in confusion until the end, but I do not agree with that. In Consequence was lovely to read just the way it is written.
I could not picture Margaret with auburn tresses though. In Gaskell's book Margaret has very dark hair and in both movies her hair is not bright either, so I was not feeling the red hair on Margaret, but that is minor stuff.
The love scenes were beautifully written.
Great job Trudy Brasure!
I really enjoyed this work. It was a welcome reason to linger under the covers. If you loved the original, you must read this charming tribute to Elizabeth Glasskel`s classic work. This novel reveals the nuances and romance which the original could not in its day due to the rigid morality of its day. Filled with budding romance that bursts into loving passion we join Margaret and John as they continue on their lifetime journey. Their are twists and surprises in store for loyal readers of the original but they only serve to enhance this skilled retelling. Be prepared for some warm and passionate scenes that may leave you searching for your own personal Mr Thornton!
I was a late-comer to the BBC series so I missed out on this moving, romantic tale until Netflix ran it. I then read the original novel by Elizabeth Gaskell. Thankfully I ran across Trudy's retelling of it which I found to be far less depressing than the original, however much the darker parts of the original made the ending seem so sweet in contrast. Although I thought I understood Margaret's refusal of John Thornton's proposal in the original novel, Trudy's retelling of this scene changed everything. As a writer I could almost see the author thinking, ' What if that scene had turned out differently?' This was a well-written, tastefully done transition of the original. I commend the author for not only her devotion to these two characters from that original novel but tastefully retelling the story in such a way as to take very little away from the original. Beautiful job.
