This book is a gem in the historical romance genre! I fell in love with this series from the start. Having never read historical romance before, I took a chance with Alyssa’s series and now eagerly await her next book!

Frances won my heart as she blossomed from a shy woman into a strong and resilient individual. But my favorite was Wesley, whose contribution to Frances’s growth was beautifully portrayed. Wesley’s pivotal role in Frances’s transformation, acting as both a mentor and friend, adds richness to his character. You can’t help but root for them and hope their bond will deepen.

Alyssa’s writing style is enchanting. Her storytelling draws you in, forging an emotional connection with the characters that deepens with each chapter. Alyssa paints each scene with vivid detail, truly transporting you back to the 1800s.

In the end, Alyssa proves herself to be a standout romance author. Her eloquent prose, meticulous character development, and ability to evoke deep emotional connections make this book an unforgettable reading escapade.

I liked this novel. The main characters are very lovable and they have a really nice dynamic. It was nice that besides the main characters, we could meet other characters who added a bit to the development of the story. The plot was easy and interesting to follow. I liked the style of writing; there were no unnecessary and boring descriptions or situations that did not fit with the plot-line. This book is a good choice for those who love romance novels and friends to lovers trope.

Thank you NetGalley, publisher and author for sending me this book for review consideration.
