The Frost of Springtime by Rachel L. Demeter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Historical romances that are rich in description are something that I always appreciate. Add delightful characters and a time period that is intriguing and it is definitely a recipe for success. I honestly adored the story, setting, and the historical setting of this book. The profanity was practically nonexistent, but there are plenty of juicy, intimate details that sometimes became a bit much for me. But that does not affect the rating of this deeply touching story.
For me, the story was well-written, and the rich descriptions completely enraptured me. I was not always able to connect with the characters as much as I desired, but I am sure part of that was the relaxation of moral absolutes from the characters themselves and that fact that I was not familiar with this time period in history. In spite of that, the story was engaging and deep.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
