If you love historical romances no doubt you will find something to love in this one. I have it all set up to download when it releases next week and can’t wait to read it a little later on this summer! Not only is the cover to die for, but the plot sounds charming and solid. Even if I didn’t love my first Caldwell book, this one sounds like it’s got my name all over it! They always leave me feeling happy and content. I love historical romances-cliche or not! Even if I have read books like it before, I always keep coming back to historical romances. It sounds like this is going to be a solid historical romance full of steam and chemistry not to mention a penniless Duke and an heiress who promises to set the Duke’s heart ablaze with her strength. This one actually sounds better than Along Came a Lady in terms of the plot. However, here we are almost a year later and that fact that I still remember even that much about the book was enough to make me pause and decide to at least feature this one and naturally add to my TBR. Beyond that it just didn’t distinguish myself. I know that Caldwell has written a number of romances and has many fans, Along Came a Lady was a good read but it didn’t stand out to me other than the main hero character was a coal miner. It landed as just ok for me at a 3 star review but it was ‘ok enough’ that I wanted to try other books by Caldwell. I first read Christi Caldwell last summer with the first book in this series, Along Came a Lady.
