VERY slow
3By El Chicken SMCLThis book dragged. Lots of side characters and a plot that took forever to get to the point.Loved it but....
4By IsreemI really loved this book but it did feel like it was a tad bit dragging more towards middle end. What I didn't like the most was that the ending felt a bit rushed and the epilogue was extremely short. It felt like the author must have thought; ok this happened, make it sound romantic and boom done! I would have given it a 5 star if it wasn't for that. I always believed you are your own critic, and I would recommend this book but with just a warning that the ending is short lived.Heir

4By Dollysb<3 💔Excellent First Book
5By davidson_23I thought that getting this book via iBooks for a 'special' price would mean that it wouldn't be all that good of a read. In the past I was an avid reader. I'm now a reluctant one and it takes a really great book to get my attention and keep my interest. This book did it. I was so enamored that I read it in a week. It would've less had time permitted. The characters are so real and relatable even given the time period. I am so glad I found this book by chance and love that it's only the first in a series. Anna is a great heroine and hers and Westhaven's love story is beautiful.Heir
