I have high hopes for this series going forward, but this sequel was not what I was hoping for. The story felt dull in comparison to the first. I felt like it was riding off of the vibes created in the first, without creating new one of it own. There was a lot of potential for excitement with the male main character’s background.  That was hardly used at all, which was a disappointment. 

The characters themselves were rich and developed as well as they could within the confines of the storyline. 

I continue to be massively impressed with the quality of Julie Ann Long’s writing. She is the best historical romance writer I think I’ve ever read. Her prose is rich, without feeling over the top. Even though this plot was not to my taste, I 
thoroughly enjoyed her writing style.
