MY REVIEW!
5 STARS!!
I really loved and enjoyed this book. This was the first historical romance book I have ever read and I really really loved it. I loved the character of Nicholas I thought he was super charming and sweet and loved that he took his time with Isabella. He was really in charge of his emotions and just knew what he wanted. I loved the character of Isabella as well, she was so sheltered and her family was not very nice to her. They just looked and there children as pawns and only wanted them to be a certain way. I really loved the writing style and just fell in completely in love with the story, basically made me love the historical romance genre and makes me want to read more. Big thanks to the publisher for the arc, really happy I gave this book and genre a try because now I have more genres and great books to find and read!!!
