" A fan of Delia Parr I was eager to find there was a book of hers I hadn't read yet. However it left me wanting. While I believe it was well written, I felt as if the characters didn't really connect with each other, and I didn't really connect with them. "
" I am not usually a fan of books like these but this one was lent to me by a friend and it wasn't bad. It was quick and easy. A couple in the 1800s wakes up handcuffed to one another and end up....well, I won't spoil it. The book was mindless entertainment but it wasn't terrible. "
" Good reading. Again, the ending was very quick - may one page!!! I would have liked to have an Epilog to read - you know, a little more of how they settled in to married life!! "
" I enjoyed reading this book, but I was disappointed that the ending stopped when it did- I was hoping for an epilogue, or a longer ending than what was written. Other than that, I thought it was good. "
