Reviewed by DanielleBook provided by the publisher for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookWild Lilly is one of the most original historical romances published within the last five years. It provides a fresh tone to the wildly popular genre by drawing attention and delving into matters lesser authors would have simply skirted around. Though this genre has seen numerous attempts to give readers a window to the past Wild Lilly is one of the few that has entirely successfully achieved this in that it illustrates a period of time to perfection while since creating an addictive story which readers will not want to put down.Wild Lilly has a deeply compelling plot that captures the readers’ attention from the first chapter; with betrayals, shocking attempts to gain control of a parcel of land and an extremely intriguing group of characters that include both a scorned mistress and an assassin, it is easy to see why Wild Lilly is such an addictive read.The characters played a major part in making Wild Lilly such a success; as the strong-willed and intriguing main characters were almost impossible not to like despite their realistic flaws. This was partially because of their ability to show both compassion and mercy to characters that that only caused them pain and partially because they were written in such a manner that it is entirely possible to relate to them despite the different era.Historical romance fans should love this stunningly woven tale of life and love in the 1800’s; which provides fans a fresh and fascinating perspective of the era.
