Enjoyable story. I will look out for more by this publishing company and this author.

By far the best book I have ever accidentally bought

[Joshua · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this book by accident, and I can honestly say it's one of the best mistakes I have made. This Acadian Romance Novel was a pleasure to read. It was heavy on the adventure and somewhat light on the romance, however it still had a very romantic tone over all. My only complaint mirrors that of a previous owner who signed the last page at the back of the book in the year 1910, "a mighty good story, but too short perhaps."
