“God forgive, Jervaulx - that I sh'd love thee."
"That I should love thee.”
Out of all of the Historical romances I’ve read, this is the one that stands out as the most unconventional of them all. What a brave author to have tackled this subject, and what a remarkably insightful, tender way to do it.

Wow. This one blew me away. LOVED every painful, blissful, second of it.
I want to go back and read it again, and again. Romance perfection is all I can say. There were so many amazing quotes and tender moments, I wanted to highlight the entire book. The writing was brilliant. I have nothing bad to say about this book.

My rating is probably more of 3.5 only because the ending seemed rushed, as if the author just got tired of writing. But I truly enjoyed the story up until to that point.

I don't really read historical romances but I picked up this book after someone suggested it to me. I really enjoyed it. I was completely satisfied when I finished :)
