The story of Rose Stratton and Luke Fletcher, "No Other Love" is a historical romance with a whodunit element. But before you say, "oh, it's of those," please stop that thought because the author Isabel Morin cleverly entwined these two subplots that one cannot exist without the other. That said, it's the reason why "No Other Love" is a refreshing new take in the historical romance genre.Romance novels always have HEA; the crux of the matter is how the characters get there. For Luke and Rose, it was a very unconventional courtship. Oh, never mind the fact that Rose is working as a servant at the Fletcher household, though she is a landowner herself, albeit a farm girl. Or that Luke is very rich and the son of Rose's employer. Yet, their courtship was almost like how the privileged class do it. That Isabel Morin was able to put that element in there and still stay true to the characters is a genius piece of writing.I don't want to say anymore because if I do, I might spoil the story for you. Nevertheless, let me just say that it is a tightly written story. The author kept within historical details of the era. And best of all, you will love Luke and Rose.
