"An excellent read. I was crying at the end. I also had some laughs about Bertrand, and his lazy stories XD " — Jennifer (4 out of 5 stars)
"An excellent read. I was crying at the end. I also had some laughs about Bertrand, and his lazy stories XD "
“Readers will find it hard to resist the charm of Edilean, the manor house, the town, the woman of many secrets and, of course, the series to follow.”
“Deveraux incorporates her trademark sweet and salty characters into a pair of entertaining romances, one past, one present, to create one of her most fun and pleasing tales.”
" This book so far is really good and reminds me of a Cinderella-esque novel, which I love! Romance, mystery, and more! "
" The best part of this book was the story of Edilean. The rest felt contrived, and the characters were inconsistent and stereotyped. There was also something about the writing that didn't flow for me as it usually does. "
" This was an okay book- it got better the more I got into it. It wasn't very creative and I get the feeling the author cranks out books to a certain, predictable formula. "
" This was a light, predictable story you don't have to think much about. If you are looking for that, you will not be disappointed. "
" Pretty good....but I figured out the plot "twist" way before the ending. "
" Very cute and very fun to read. I felt like I was reading a Lifetime movie. I enjoy these books for some "no thought", just fun, books. "
" This is my first Deveraux book, and I enjoyed it. I'd say I was probably about 100 pages in before the story line picked up for me, by the end I didn't want to put it down so I could find out what happened. "
" Fairly predictable but a nice fast read. "
