I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.Well I didn't like the beginning. The first person POV addressing the reader as if I was right there with the character threw me off a bit in the first chapter. The story starts from the present time of the story and then reverts to a major flashback into Chance's life. spoiler: [The flashback does leave you wondering the whole book about when/how Jacky will find Chance and treat his wounds. (hide spoiler)]Once I got past the first chapter or so and got into the heart of Chance's story, I really liked the story so much better. I cried a little when Chance lost his first love, but was happy to see him finally find someone else to love.Even though the story "historical" the plot doesn't feel so historical. The plot is focused on the characters instead of the setting. Although I think there were a few historical holes in the plot. Men in those days needed to be more careful about their relationships because of the laws. The plot made things feel a bit to "open" or exposed for the time frame.This is the first book I've read by this author and I do like it even with the above issues. Even if I hadn't received a free copy, I'd consider this book worth purchasing and I'm interested in reading more. I hope the "brats" each also get a story.
