I am sure you all know by now my love of historical books. The time period just seemed so much better back then. And if an author does good research, it makes you feel like you are back there:) I am sure an avid reader knows what I mean by this. So, I was very anxious to review this book. I did receive an ARC copy so I noticed a couple minor, very minor, errors but that is not my main part of the review so I am going to skip those and get right down to what I thought of the book. Are you ready? LOVED IT!! This book is right down the same aisle as her previous books in this series and they are a hoot! Fun yet thought provoking at the same time. You learn even while you are laughing.

I would have to say my favorite character in this book is David. He is struggling with his heritage and his looks but also able to help. I had somewhat of a hard time with Lucy. She kept getting into trouble and sometimes this gets on my nerves. This was not overdone but almost. I realize she wanted to do what she felt called to do so I understand part of her trouble. I also felt for the good doctor. He felt guilty over things in the past and this in turn brought out a low self esteem and lack of excitement about anything, especially women:D

The plot is very good and I like how much research Margaret does. You can tell from reading only a small part of her book her love for history. And the fun, unique aspects she brings up make for good reading. If you are someone who loves to read a historical fiction, this is your book. It was entertaining and witty! Looking forward to Margaret's next book.

I received a complimentary ARC copy of this book. I did not receive any monetary compensation. All thoughts are 100% mine.
