Very, very boring. Absolutely nothing happens and the “spice” that does happen isn’t worth the wait.

Good!

The 1860s were structured for separation in class and appropriate behavior.How could a titled have a marriage relationship with someone thought to be below them.Mis tresses were allowed but could friendship or true love be obtained against the norms of the time.

I was completely taken in by Simon and Octavia’s love story, as well as the love that develops between them for Leah. The characters were well-written and their romance was built on love more than lust. I would not, however, call this a “clean” romance, but rather a “wholesome” romance—as there are a few passionate embraces throughout and one sex scene—but the storyline itself is full of integrity and virtue. If you’re more into clean romances like me, I would skip through the one scene and read the rest because it really is worth it. 4 out of 5 stars!

Very sweet, fun story.

Great read

Great character building and setting but it just ended. Major crises is revealed and then left unresolved. Left it feeling incomplete. The first 2/3rds of the book are 5 stars.

I loved this story but was disappointed that it ended so sudden. An epilogue would have been nice.

If you’re completely bored, probably a good enough time pass but nothing exceptional

Loved this story, the setting, the characters, the emotions.
