3.5 starsGah, I love that cover. It's so gorgeous. I have this strange fascination with historical era and dresses and such (no history lessons please, I steer clear of those). And I love historical fiction, so when I had the chance to read this one, I was like 'ta da, absolutely!'This historical fiction packs a punch, there's romance, mystery and thrill. I love the plot. Historical fiction - romantic mystery is a win-win combination for me. The characters are very well etched out, not to mention a certain drool-worthy personality. Ahem, ahem.I like the mystery and adventure that the book takes me through. It's neither predictable nor forced. Everything is in just the right amount at the right place. The editing is flawless and the book made for a quick read since it grasped my attention easily.And the romance is just yum (can I describe it like that? lol).The only problem I had with the book was that some of the situation stretched beyond the realm of reality.Overall, a good historical fiction that had me rapt and reading with ease.
