I'm not usually a big fan of historical romance, but I really enjoyed this one! What historicals always get right though, is the denial of feelings and yearning. I was a bit worried about the setup and how Viola not revealing her past identity with Gracewood would impact the relationship, BUT it was not the main conflict of the book thankfully. Loved seeing them learn to trust and rely on each other and defend the people they care about. The side characters and family members were fun as well!
