- DaphneD-SRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This book is off to a great start. The writing is evocative, imagery is on spot, and has rich but easy prose. The characters are amazing and I am already falling in love with all of them. OK not all, the father is terrible, but that is what is making this so engrossing. The historical backdrop is giving it a rich tapestry and the time period is coming alive through the author's words.
There is a lot of mystery and suspense surrounding the main couple in the prologue (the chemistry is fantastic) and it will be interesting to see how this pans out with the actual heroine who seems to be someone else. Note: As the author has already cautioned, there are some scenes on child abuse, though the author has written them sensitively.
