I liked the book, but I certainly didn't love it enough to give it five stars. But I have to admit that I enjoyed it in a certain extent. And fine, I became teary eyed in a few parts.
It's a nice read, but there were a lot of parts in the book that were "Fillers" or rather unnecessary and were just there to make the book even longer. Or rather, similar to what I'm doing, which is beating around the bush.
I never really enjoyed Western romances, and I have to admit that I was disappointed that this wasn't a historical romance set in England. I seem to enjoy those historical romances most, but set aside, I enjoyed this one. Plus there was England in here. I love England. And this book showed me extreme differences of living in England and in America in the past, and made me realize that America would be the most logical place to live in, in the past if I wasn't black.
However, this book is a romantic one. It could make your heart yearn for a love like Mary Rose and Cole. And indeed make you wish you could find one. ♥
