I read historical romance to learn about times I would never study. This story takes place at a time when New Orleans was given from the French to the Spanish. The author uses language that is accurate to the time period and had me using the vocabulary feature of the Kindle to appreciate the subtleties the author achieved by word choices to get the reader into the story. I rarely check a dictionary unless the book has foreign phrases, so finding a book like this is a pleasure. While it is not necessary to use a dictionary as the words are discernible from the text, the subtleties of the word choices are enhanced by using the kindle's built in dictionary. As always, Jennifer Blake writes a good story with characters that can walk off the page.
