The beginning of this is so slow. I was starting to think my love of Don't Want You Like A Best Friend was a fluke because I never love historical romances.

I am happy that things picked up around a quarter of a way through. I really enjoyed seeing Bobby and James interact and figure out their relationship while there was so much uncertainty. I also love seeing Beth and Gwen together again and getting involved in the main plot.

I do think some of the plotting was strange here, though. There is a main conflict set up relatively early on and then we just drop it entirely for a pretty long stretch before picking it up again at the end. After the slower start, I really enjoyed the individual pieces of this story but as a whole, it isn't my favorite.
