This isn't usually my go to genre for reading and have not read much in the way of historical fiction.
I did enjoy the book in the end, although I did find it a little slow to begin with and took me a while to warm to the story. The middle part of the book also seemed to loose it's way a little. However, the final chapters really sped up the pace and had me racing to the end.
The story starts in 1798 and follows a love triangle between Amelia, Edmund and Luke. This was quite cleverly put together and had all of the complexities and emotions of being in that situation. The book had me wondering all the way through how it would resolve.
This book is also the fifth in a series and is the first one I have read. It would be nice to maybe go back and read the others to fill in some of the gaps.
Overall, I think this is a good read for those who enjoy Poldark and enjoy reading English classics like Jane Austen. The writing style appeared a little old fashioned, however it was easy to read and complemented the setting of the story.
