I enjoyed the next in the series of Millicent related action. Thank you for such an inspiring series.
I really enjoyed this book – love and strength overcome tragedy, abuse and slavery. I couldn’t put it down!
Loved the characters! Great setting. I felt I was there. I couldn’t put it down.
Enjoyed all 3 stories offered, happy endings. The stories ended & I did not have to buy a second or third to end story!
A very enjoyable book to read.
Wonderful book
This novel is a page turner and has more to keep your interest than you may expect at the beginning. .Unusual theme you’ll remember!
A great rewriting of the Beauty and the Beast story. I enjoyed it.
I’m not sure how I came across this story but I did enjoy the read. Lyon is broken and needs mending. Millicent is trying to right the wrongs of the past that her husband committed. They help each other and I liked it a great deal. I’m looking forward to more in this series.
An excellent novel with sensitive and poignant scenes dealing with slavery and other issues of the time period. Love develops gradually as the heroine and hero mature and grow to understand and support one another. I was completely enthralled with the supporting characters as well. Well done, May! I will be reading more of your novels.
Good story – well written

Well written & moves along very well. Enjoyed the character development. Will be getting the next one in the series.
Both characters come into this relationship broken. It was very interesting & sweet to see how they heal themselves and form a solid relationship.
Great read! It made me want to read the rest of the books in this series
Great story! Characters with depth, compassion, and loyalty to those they love. Wish there were more people like that. This was my first McGoldrick book. Can’t wait for the next one!
A great book and quite different from any others I’ve read.
This book was filled with interesting and admirable characters. I hated that it had to end
The humor is amazing, and the author is creative with insults the characters use. It is really worth the time.
