Regency England seems to be the place to travel in todays Christian fiction circles and there certainly seems to be plenty happening within the characters and their circumstances especially when it comes to living within their expected-and respectable-boundaries.

I will admit that Alec has not been my favorite hero to read, but-yes, Im including a but-he grew and changed as the story progressed and I liked him a bit better. He has a bit of a pretentious air about him when the book starts, though he is reinventing himself in humble beginnings.

Julia is a challenging character as well. Strong willed, she does manipulate her way around her mothers affections and their strained relationship make for some strained scenes.

Its not a smooth ride for sure, though the thought of regency fiction does lend itself to seeming that way. You get a peek into a time period that really, had all the same problems we do, just dressed a bit differently.

The ending was satisfying and the characters changed from their beginning counterparts. While not my favorite of titles that Ive finished so far this year, I have absolutely no doubt that avid fans of Regency England will fall in love with Alec and Julias story and the stands they learn to take.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through Litfuse for my copy to review.
