— Adeline (5 out of 5 stars)
“Henley has brought history to life—and another couple to true love.”
— Booklist“Henley’s gift for bringing remarkable women to life in colorful, turbulent times is what turns her romances into keepers. Henley heats up the pages with her love scenes, and her skill at portraying actual historical personages with humanity while maintaining historical accuracy wins our minds. Henley knows what historical romance is all about and always gives the readers what they want.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)" A breezy read with a little "heat". "
— Crystal, 2/8/2013" Another romance. I hated the book in some parts because it seemed that the author was throwing too many obstacles in the couples way. The on again off again scenario went too far. Overall, I liked the book. "
