Some of the most beautiful prose I have ever read. Not a romance, more of a story of rebirth and finding yourself and love after a traumatic event. Gorgeous book. Listened to it on audio and the narrator was wonderful.

This was such a fun romance read. I love a workplace romance and enjoy when authors make them work so well in historical romances. I very much enjoyed the characters journeys in the story and found the entire cast of characters delightful.
