Review
I lovely way to pass a winter's evening. All of these romances are a bit terse with interior emotions but the historical details, steady heartbeat of love you can believe in, and babies of all kinds make it a good read.
I especially like the lack of Dukes in these short stories and diversity of the troupe found here.
I was given this book for my honest review. So, there you have it.
