It has been featured twice as a BOTM. Since the last time was within two years (Feb 2021), it is ineligible.

Maureen, you are free to nominate a different book.

Sorry I didn't know. I would like to nominate: The Hunter by Kerrigan Byrne. If that was also read an alternative book is : A Bride for the Prizefighter: A Victorian Romance by Alice Coldbreath
