As I read this delightful Historical Romance, I was impressed by the level of historical detail that surrounded the main story. Notable events, people and political intrigue at the time were included in the conversations and the plot which made this book much more interesting. The American heroine, Alyssa, and her twin brother have just discovered that their deceased father was heir to an earldom and they are now left under the guidance of the Duke of Deverell. Both chafe under this directive and concoct an interesting plan to get freedom from the life planned for them. As Alyssa meets the Duke and begins to fall for him, things get more complicated and the romance that ensues is difficult and full of misunderstandings. Deverell is not always likable but it seemed to fit his station and as his life changed for the better, so does his treatment of others. At times the book drags, especially as the misunderstanding begin to pile up but I liked the characters and the well-written historical details. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
