What can I say? This was a fantastic historical romance, and it was completely delightful in every way. I loved Cora, Will, and Pierre, and I am completely excited that this is the first in a series! I am glad that the book had an ending, but I am also glad that there are many unanswered questions (which means I will be coming back for more!)
I have never read anything by this author, but her writing style is fantastic and very easy to read. I love the spiritual references in the book, and the author even adds some action and suspense into the novel to truly grab the reader’s attention.
I have absolutely nothing negative to say. I love the historical references, and I love the romance in the book! It was an easy-to-read book, and those who love romances and historical fiction will find this a nice, cozy book to read on a rainy afternoon.
I think that Cora’s journey to discover who she is was truly touching. It made me consider my own journey to figure out who I truly was, but I was much older than Cora when I figured all that out. I am so glad that God was a big part of this. And I love the fact that God was woven into the story in such an expert fashion.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated in any way, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
