I would have liked it much better without the sex scenes. Well-written, great characters, I just prefer clean romance.

I cannot recommend this book as it is much too sexually explicit for my taste. I’m hoping this will help filter future recommendations for me. Thanks.
Just a good story from old England.
I enjoyed reading this book, I like the setting and the strong characters.
I loved this story especially because the two female leads are older, not young misses. I also like the theme of the damages of war. This story is well done.
I loved Winnefred, most of the time I wanted to kick Gideon LOL. GREAT READ.
Enjoyed. Can picture history during early England days
I loved this story.
