I look forward to trying out her other books.<br /><br />Historical romance is a genre that is hit and miss for me, but I love historical fiction in general, and don't mind a romance as a side story. I wouldn't call this a historical romance by any stretch, although it does have that element in it.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-51012296570181469272017-10-06T11:48:57.202-07:002017-10-06T11:48:57.202-07:00Breana - Thank you!
