I haven't picked up her books yet but I definitely want to and this type of historical romance sounds right up my alley. I can't wait to dive into this, hopefully this summer!

I feel like you don't often read historical romance with that age (or at least I haven't read any) and it's so important! And with her past characters, I think her treatment of both physical and mental trauma has been dealt with so well, and it's a hard thing to do. So I'm excited to see about this book! I'm always happy to see something new from Mary Balogh :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-38361018740647020472016-05-19T17:24:49.968+01:002016-05-19T17:24:49.968+01:00Great review Rachel!

I do love HR in general though. ;) Eventually I will read the one I have!

I love that this couple is a little older too, and there's nothing that makes me happier than when someone is convinced they'll never have love again only to be proven wrong:) Can't wait to read this!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-83364581788219916382016-05-18T13:54:27.400+01:002016-05-18T13:54:27.400+01:00I have heard such lovely things about this author,...I have heard such lovely things about this author, Rachel. I really must pick something up by her. This sounds like an unconventional HR because the characters are older than the typical HR heroes and heroines, but I am intrigued. Both characters sound like they have gone through a ton and I'd want them to get their HEA. I'm glad this was a good book for you, Rachel.<br />Lovely review!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304521473521896294noreply@blogger.com
