THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST HISTORICAL ROMANCE BOOKS THAT I HAVE EVER READ. IT TRULY DEPICTS WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE BACK THEN. I HAVE READ OTHER HISTORICAL ROMANCE NOVELS,AND I THINK THAT MRS.JULIET LANDON DOES A FANTASTIC JOB OF SHOWING HOW WOMEN WERE TREATED BACK THEN, THE PROCESS OF MARRIAGE PARTNERS WITH DOWRIES, AND THE DECEPTION OF ALL PEOPLE. I DEFINITLY RATE THIS BOOK 5 STARS. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BOOK. IT DEFINITLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION VERY QUICK.
