Review
"...The worldbuilding is well done, the characters are very real and three-dimensional, and the plot is intriguing. The problems between the main characters are very realistic to that time period and extremely understandable from all the viewpoints. The way the characters acted in the past and react later in the story is completely logical and understandable, and yet bound to make their worlds collide and their futures extremely messy. Ms. Atwell is to be congratulated for thinking of a basic premise from which these outcomes would flow so obviously, yet lead to so much future angst.
The book is engaging and well written, flowing smoothly throughout. The sex scenes are gripping and hot.
All in all this is an intriguing story, well worth reading, and a slightly different take on a popular historical period." -- Official Review, loveromancesandmore.blogspot.com, read entire review here
