3.5 stars - This is not your typical historical romance, It is kind of like a historical version of the bachelorette. The writing style is good and the character development is great, once you weed down some of the men. However I had a hard time connecting with this story for some reason. I did enjoy meeting many different characters and would read more in this series to catch up with them. I found Willow Dupré a little hard to truly catch her true personality. She appeared to be a take charge kind of woman at work, yet not so much around the men in the competition. I was given a copy of this novel for my honest opinion.
