“Superb … Will win readers over with its elegant writing, exceptional characterization … and exquisitely romantic love story.”
—Chicago Tribune
“Deft plotting and sparkling characters mark this superior debut historical … Thomas propels the plot forward with revealing repartee and gives the leads real nuance…. The results are steamy and smart.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Thomas tantalizes readers as she skillfully peels away the layers of Cam and Gigi’s relationship in an enchanting, thought-provoking story of love lost and ultimately reclaimed. Lively banter, electric sexual tension, and an unusual premise make this stunning debut all the more refreshing.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“Thomas’s lyrical writing is really the star of the show. There are writers who can tell a great story, and writers who can tell a great story with beauty and artistry. Thomas is in the latter category, and her writing is, quite simply, a cut above.”
—All About Romance
“We readers of romance go through a lot of books. A few are wallbangers, more are okay but not great, even more are enjoyable, and some are more than that. When I’m reading a book that falls into that fourth and smallest category, I find myself saying, ‘OMG, I can’t believe how good this is’ with one part of my brain, while the rest of it is saying, ‘Shut up and keep reading.’ … Needless to say, this is an A read for me.”
