I love historical romance. Having said that, I cannot stand to have my romances filled with history lessons! Enough history to make the story relevant is all that I ask. If I wanted to read a history book I could do so - not what I want in my romance novel!
Now, to give the author some credit - it was the only the first 30 pages or so that were a real snooze. Luckily I did not give up as I have read some of her other works and enjoyed her writing. Once I got beyond those 30 pages, I did enjoy the story for the most part. I cannot give this book more than a 3/5.

The ebook version of this book has more romance added and was a great read. The original I thought had more history than interaction between the lovers. I also liked the addition of the carved unicorn which added to the story. I highly recommend it. Well researched and interesting in addition to a pleasurable love story.

This Historical novel was a great story. The story and writing was well done. The story flowed naturally and the characters we very well set up so that you could picture them. I would recommend this book.
