I think I have a love/hate relationship with romance because I get annoyed so easily. But I really loved the storyline in this even if it was without the romance.

I struggled a bit in the first half with so many names, so I do wish there was a key. But this book really is great about being straightforward and is well written. I hope that many more people read it to gain better knowledge of the history of Palestine.

This was okay. I think I’m not a fan of regency romance whatsoever. Personally the dialogue was too much as it felt like filler instead of focusing on an actual story. The romance itself was pretty cute and I did enjoy that. Just felt overall this was middle of the road for me.

I FLEW through this book in about a day and I honestly still can’t believe that. The people next in line for this Livby hold will probably appreciate that. Clearly I couldn’t put this down. Now I’m going to go and probably have nightmares but it was worth it!
