Welcome to Litsy!

I love historical romance. I could spend my life reading nothing but historicals with the same storylines over and over just different names. I haven‘t found one I don‘t just outright love yet and this one fits that bill too. Gillie is strong and sad and I want the whole world for her Thorne is manly and in love. I wasn‘t as fond of the poetic language during the kissing scenes but it‘s romance, what else is there to expect?

I‘m accustomed to formulaic romance. I‘d even go so far as to say I find predictability comforting, relaxing even. But this is formula without the ‘feels.‘ It‘s comes off as sappy, overwrought, unoriginal, and just poorly written. I DNF‘d, and I‘m not sure I would have finished even if stranded in an airport.

This book was the perfect change of pace for me and reminded me that I don‘t read nearly enough historical romances! It was an enjoyable build to a romance that I was rooting for the entire time. Recommended!
