I've not been a huge fan in the past of regency era novels. This book however has made me a fan. I read it in about 7 hours basically only putting it down a few times. It was. So. Good. It was good enough that I'm going to break my own rule of only reading books on Kindle Unlimited and I'm going to ...

I almost didn't borrow this novel from the library as I generally dislike the trope of crossing class gap primarily my unwillingness to suspend disbelief if the hardships involved with this particular scenario.

There's a reason it's called historical fiction. I doubt this pairing would've ever worked in real life, but the book was a quick, fun read. I did have issue with some of the things Will called Juliette, but it did not seem out of character for him in the beginning of the book, so I let it slide.

So you might remember how much I loved Rogue Pirate's Bride by Shana Galen. It was everything I want in a romance novel and featured PIRATES! So obviously I was excited when I saw this one pop up so I immediately ordered it. And I'm so glad I did!When You Give A Duke A Diamond is totally different f...
