So this is one of my two tests into stepping my toe into Historical Romance. While the other I found was slower then my taste and I wanted more info on something else that the plot was not really focusing on. This one felt more like a romance that was just dropped in a historical setting. Also, I have read Mrs. Herrera's work before and that may have helped me with liking this book more. Now for the background I am coming from a viewpoint of before when I read Historicals they were always war ones or had to do with war in some contexts. This just felt like an old contemporary or even paranormal romance. So I think that is also what helped me be able to enjoy this one more. I do plan to read the other books in this series so this is not a knock just an insight as someone who is new to this part of the romance world.
