I blame myself. My disappointment with this book is partially my fault. I just set the bar too high. I built up my own hype. I gave myself unrealistic standards for this book. I've resisted reading this novella since it was released, despite reading all the glowing reviews on it. I thought for sure...

You could excuse it because this is a novella. I don't. I did liked the "mood" of the story but the moral of it is a bit cliche. I was also expecting something more original from the ending but I got the usual historical romance fan fare. Overall it was an enjoyable read but don't expect brilli...
