sandra (USA: MN) (2015/03/18): GREAT BOOK!! loved it :D don't always enjoy every romance or historical romance story.. can be predictable & overly sappy.. kinda boring. BUT this one was NOT! first book i've read by this author.. must admit i had pretty high expectations going in (of my own making) since the story sounded like a Beauty & the Beast type of plot.... and i was NOT disappointed! unexpected twists & turns with really likable interesting characters (not always to be found in typical romance stories) & for it nearly being 400 pages it read SUPER FAST too.. which i admit is another reason i don't solely read historical/romances.. sometimes i feel like an author could have saved the trouble of writing a good 100 pages but again this story filled the pages with interest... had good pace, didn't lag or bore me as reader... a very feisty, romantic read with only a slightly historical feel (doesn't bore you with too many words you've never heard before or long history lessons). average amount of descriptive love scenes but not too overly explicit that it took away from the story.. (as i find that too tends to happen WAY to often in romance novels).
