REVIEW:

This is the first book in Michelle’s series timeline wise…but not the first which was published. As with all of Michelle’s books I feel like I’m learning a bit about history while reading a lovely romance. The gal in this story was strong willed and I really liked her choices. On several occassions I know many author’s would have chosen to have her react in a different manner–because I’ve read those reactions time and time again–it was what I expected(not to say they are bad). I really liked that Michelle had this gal’s ’strong will’ exerted in the manner it was. I admired the character all the more and believed the story all the more as well for it. This is a great read!
