I do love Marian Keyes, the way she's able to take the every day and make it interesting. I couldn't put this down and loved the dynamics of the characters.

For some reason I couldn't keep hold off who was who's partner in the beginning as it switches perspectives.

I really loved the twists in the story.


There's a trigger warning for this book worth noting for those with history for of eating disorders.

Anyone else just love a good traveling adventurous story? I do. Lorri Dudley’s Leeward Island series take me to a place full of adventure. All the books can be read as standalone books, you do run into familiar characters at various points in the books but they are just passing mentions and do not leave you feeling like you are missing something; I always look forward to seeing how the former characters are doing now
  
This was a great book it caught my attention right off with the characters name, Delight :) . I have never seen a name like that before. I also love stories about the revolutionary war and this one was very interesting with a Redcoat switching to the Patriot cause. Plus I loved the story included by Jill Stengl. I highly recommend reading this book.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed with in are my own.

"It’s Daniel Auteuil, Isabel Adjani… It’s such an incredible piece. It takes place ostensibly in Paris around the time of the massacre of the Protestants by the Catholic ruling family. Basically under the auspices of bringing them in, in the guise of a joint wedding that’s going to unite the Huguenots and the royal class, and this massacre takes place. And it’s dirty, and you can almost smell the clothes, and it’s just so well done. It’s a great story, and I just love watching it."
