Goid book, would read it again.
I enjoyed the characters so much that I have now read the entire series.
I enjoyed reading this book. I found the setting interesting as well as the time.
I really enjoy this author’s book and have bought all of anything she has written.
I liked the book until the last part. Where it got too graphic in the sex scenes which I skipped through. I was very disappointed, I was hoping this was a book that I could recommend to my granddaughter.
Of course not knowing to the minute, always intriguing. The character did something so compelling at the end. Bless his heart.
You just feel a tug for both throughout the book. Great write!
Loved it. Looking forward to more books by Erics!
Loved all the books in this series!
One of my favorite authors.
Love the entire series! Very well written and entertaining.
loved it and ordered the next in the series
Very good read!!!
I enjoyed it so much that I then read The Brigadier’s Runaway Bride. I really enjoyed these back to back! Both stories have wonderful insights to how we can get caught up in our personal goals and woes. The second story was so funny at times I’d just giggle out loud!
Loved the book. Shows flaws can’t stop love.
This book was overly repetitive with the two main characters bemoaning how no one would want them because of their disability or their charity work commitment. They had zero chemistry. The last 30 pages of the book could have been the whole novel and you wouldn’t have missed anything.
Cute
A good read if you like sweet romance, history and very entertaining
Too much descriptive sex scenes. Why do authors lure you in with fairly decent plot then ruin it with descriptive passionate kissing and sex? I enjoy a good love story but not all the descriptive sex.
The characters are both adorable and you fall in love as they do.
I liked the story and would like to read the sequels
