Outlier opinion apparently but I loved this historical romance! It was incredibly fun to read, had me giggling and kicking my feet, while at the same time being angsty and tenstion-filled (how I like my romance). The grovel was delicious and I am begging for more authors to take notes. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY writes good grovels if any at all, even when they are totally called for (like in this instance for example). I loved the characters too. While the heroine was 'mousy', she was not a doormat, which is a distinction I find crucial to make, and is a type of characterisation I see way too little of. Sorry but I get tired of 'fiery' heroines sometimes. I am not an expert, but it seems that the author at least made an attempt at historical accuracy, not only in terms of how they dress but even in the dialogue, which I deeply appreciated and actually found surprisingly refreshing. Needless to say, I thought this was excellently written and I would find it difficult to find any other romance writer whose prose is equal to – or even near – Robinson's level.
