To start, the cover looks quite nice although I'm not always a fan of having people on covers. Secondly, for me to enjoy a historical fiction, it has to be written superbly - and I mean really well - and with for focus on the fictional part of the story than the historical part, but this one sounds quite good as it sounds like it has some romance, and I have always been a sucker for a historical romance (even if it's just a subplot)
