The author expertly weaves together elements of romance, drama, and historical fiction to create a compelling narrative that keeps the reader invested from start to finish.

Emily Montague herself is a strong and independent heroine whose journey is both inspiring and relatable. The secondary characters also add depth and complexity to the story, making for a rich and immersive reading experience.

The setting of the novel, 18th-century Quebec, is vividly portrayed and adds another layer of interest to the story. The author’s attention to historical detail is evident throughout the book, and I appreciated the way she seamlessly integrated real events and figures into the narrative.
