Somewhat boring and foget able
Loved this book.
Not great, but a fun read.
As usual, Mary Balough knocks it out of the park! From the very beginning I was caught-up in the fully-fleshed out characters and their personalities. This is a WINNER!
A great fast read. Hard to put down. Characters were very real. Love her work!
I love all her books.
Mary Balogh writes great historical romances.
She is one of my favorite authors.
I have read as many of this authors books as I can get my hands on. The writing is great, the story lines are original, and as a whole, the heroine of this book was admirable and heart-warming as she struggled to find both her family and her love. Which, of course, she did.
Mary Balogh never disappoints
This is the first time I have read a book by Mary Balogh! I loved her! I am a avid reading of both Mystery and Romance! I already ordered the 2nd book is this series and can’t wait to check my mailbox since it was the same price as a nook book, I much prefer a paper book! I highly recommend this book to any Romance reading! Totally enjoying and refreshing!
