Great book, will be looking for more to come from this author.
I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and the characters worked well together.
Do not let this modern cover fool you, this is a great historical romance. Once I started reading I couldn't put this book down. I loved Caroline and Alex and even the supporting characters were great. She made all the characters feel like people I have known and the book simply came alive. The plot twists were fun. If you like historical romance, or even just romance between a man and a woman, you will enjoy this book.
