"This book was a romance, a mystery, and an all-around fun book to read. I found it to be very engaging and a “page turner.” It was a very interesting, well-researched, and well-thought-out story. A solid blend of mystery, history, and romance. The author describes the characters and scenery in ways that really brought them to life."
