August 2012: Bookmaven623
This was an excellent historical
romance. I really enjoyed the independence of the characters and how they dealt
with the situations they were put into. I loved Richard and Sarah’s love story
and how it did take them to the new world. I was saddened with the whole
relationship with Richard’s brother. I almost felt like he was used when he was
dying. I know that’s not what the author meant but it just kinda felt like
Sarah was in a bad position and she used the Earl of Linfield to get security.
The incorporation of Drury lane and the players was excellent. Also, the
illustration of King Charles’ activities and how amorous and varied his
affections could be were very historically accurate and made for a nice
addition to the story. How all that fits in you will have to read the book to
find out. You will love Sarah and Richard no doubt. I would definitely recommend
this book and any other historical romance by Ms. Fleming.
