I fell in love with this book series about ten years ago..The initial book seems a bit dry at first as the author has so many characters throughout her books, but once you get into them you can't get back out! I went from reading this series to scouring the book stores for her novellas and her series of Lord John Grey (a character from the Outlander series) and adore the combination of romance and historical events. Nothing better than unintentionally learning while you curl up with an amazing book!
