Ratings and reviews

I loved that is such a pure love story. The little nitbits of humour is cute and I can just imagine this couple in their old age, adorable.

Kept me wanting to read even when my eyes were heavy needing sleep. Everything u want in a clean heartwarming Historical Romance.

I love history and with this book I got that and more. Would like another book with Seamus and Sophie and family.
