This is one of those books that I wouldn't recommend to anyone, I'm sorry to say. It didn't have enough historical detail to make the setting interesting, and the romance itself was unbelievable and felt forced. I didn't care much about the characters, to be honest.
The story jumps forward in time quite often so I felt robbed of the interaction between the characters. I feel like somewhere, in one of those time jumps, was the moment when the characters fell in love. I really wish we got to read about it.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the free review copy.
