Between The Pages
This historical regency romance has a solid beginning and a good flow throughout the story. The emotional trauma Amora suffered is heartbreaking, making her a strong female lead as she overcomes her past. Alexander is a great character, obtaining retribution for his family and taking Amora into his care. The author has a descriptive storytelling voice and places you in the historical setting. The storyline is well-developed with many ups and downs, plenty of drama and action, steamy scenes, and a good secondary cast. An enjoyable read.
