Book Review of The Apothecary's Daughter

The Apothecary's Daughter
annapi avatar reviewed on + 334 more book reviews


I was surprised to find myself thoroughly enjoying this Regency romance, as it's not my usual genre. I do enjoy historical romances, though, and this one came as a free ebook so I gave it a try. I found it full of fascinating background information about apothecaries and the treatments they prescribed, as well as the clash between them and the university-educated doctors of the day. The romance itself was a little drawn-out, but I liked the way the author kept teasing the reader by presenting three eligible bachelors and hints of another possible suitor in the wings for our heroine to choose from. All in all, despite minor flaws, a very enjoyable book.
