Oh look, I have neglected to review this. What a shame. I shall do that now.Okay, it's been more than a week since I finished this. But I believe I still remember what I was going to say about it. So, that's good. When books are bad I tend to forget what I was going to say about them. But, that's no...

Enough romance for a book full intrigues and trou­bles of all sorts. The story is told with humor and great spirit. If you like romance you should try this book.

What a truly delightful read from start to finish! It delighted my little anglophile heart, not to mentio...

This was a beautiful story. It's told simply, yet some of it is so truthful and honest and eye-opening and profound that I found myself having to take breaks from the story to actually contemplate what I'd just read. I love when stories speak to me in that way. This story is Cassandra's, and she tel...
