*I received a free copy of this book for the option of posting an honest review.* 
 Melanie Thurlow shows a lot of promise as a writer. Her prose is good, even if some of her sentences rambled a little. 
 The ideal reader for this book would like softer, slower romances of yesterday over the light and bubbly, snappy-dialogue-heavy regencies that seem to dominate today's market. The ideal reader would like books that are extremely interior (i.e., a lot of thinking instead of action) and are more character driven than plot driven. 
 Melanie Thurlow is a writer to watch. Thank you so much, Melanie, for the opportunity to read and review your book. I wish you every success. Happy release and thank you again.
