I was looking forward to reading this book as it sounded like a nice romantic novel with a bit of suspense. I wanted to find out what happened to Edmund and whether Amelia was going to pick Edmund or Luke!
However, this book took me a long time to read and I struggled to get into it. I felt there were too many side characters and it went on for longer than it needed to. Also, there was not much character development, I did not feel invested in any of the characters (I did appreciate Luke's understanding and kind-heartedness though!).
I probably wouldn't recommend this book if you like fast paced books with things happening often as it wasn't until the last 100 or so pages of the book where it got interesting and that I started to enjoy it. Saying that, I'm glad I read it as I'm not a fan of Poldark and this isn't something I would normally pick up in regards to time and setting (18th Century) so it was something new for me.
