This was from a different perspective, a dark heroine. It was interesting to see how the villain came about from the earlier books and which road she is taking. This has now become my favorite out of the series so far and I will re-read all of the previous books with the knowledge that I have now.

Intriguing and Captivating
Loved this story! Copeland 's stories are fulfilling leaving you curious and wanting more. Viola is a character you love to hate but somehow I was rooting for her. The Heirloom series offers a wonderful flow of romantic stories. Can't wait for the next one!

Quality History
I'm sad that the story is over as the next book isn't available yet. Loved the history in this book as it's more historical than romance. If only other authors put as much time in their research as Alyssa did.
