This book is amazing! The way that the two timelines weave together is masterfully done, and the characters feel real.  Both of the romances grow naturally, and the characters have great chemistry.  The two settings, Strasbourg and Briar Meadow both feel like real places with history, and they both have a sense of magic in them.  The prose flows nicely, and it's still easy to understand.  McLemore is a wonderful job on this book.  I'm going to have to read more book by them soon!
