I really loved Camille and Mathias as characters and a love interest. I have not read the previous 3 books. However, I was not lost in the story and I still got to know the other characters without taking away from Camille. I definitely enjoyed it.

Rating: 3.5 stars

This story is a true old fashioned love story. Camille had a relationship with a young man & ended up pregnant. She's dropped out of school to have her baby & in the meantime, becomes obsessed with a man in a photo. While investigating the photo & the history of the mans family, Camille meets his descendant Mathias & developed feelings for him.

This book was difficult for me. I'm not sure if it was that the beginning took a while to get going & seemed to drag or what. I had trouble connecting with the characters & becoming invested in the story. I do feel there are people who will love this story. It just wasn't to my taste for some reason.

The description of this book made it sound better than it was. It moved very slowly. Did not hold my interest. This is the first book I have read by this author. I will try another of her books. Could be I just did not care for this one.

a good read
