| The hero and heroine were both truly likeable characters. Their romance (and the consummation of it) was more realistic than is frankly often seen in historicals, and I loved that. For some reason it took me a while to read this, and I confess I don' ...more | |

"2.5 stars. surprised and disappointed by the fact that i didn’t find this very compelling. it was pretty ambitious and had potential, but i didn’t feel connected to any of the side characters, so most of the more tragic moments of the book were lost "

| I had one major quibble with this, so I'll mention it first, because otherwise this was WONDERFUL. Keir is viciously attacked by a thug with a knife, cut so badly that he needed stitches ... and within minutes after getting stitches, the h/h decide t ...more | |
