I found this romance unique in that it's written in first person. I don't find that very often with historical so that might be a plus for readers as something different. However, I am not a fan of first person. I just don't like reading it, it doesn't give me the same 'fly on the wall' feeling I get with third person and love. Plus when it says I am doing this or that, which I would never do because I disagree with the heroine hahaha well it makes it awkward for me.

I LOVE the hero's perspective. And I was really enjoying the hero. I wanted to be in his head. I wanted to feel what he was feeling. And I didn't get that and that stunk.

This book is very mystery based. Very gothic feeling to me. It seemed something was always happening and the couple just weren't together for most of the story. Or if they were together they were focused on something else. I just want my romance to be the heat between two people falling in love and this had a lot of extras going on in it.
