Whether or not you’re a fan of historical romance, take a chance on this novel because I did and it’s one of the best literary chances I’ve taken all year.

See the drama unfold in this mesmerizing world filled with such rich characters and setting and a story you will not want to put down for any distraction. Highly recommended as an audiobook.
