Perhaps it isn't great literature but nice for a lovely evening.
The main review from June 1st, 2015:
I had a very charming time with this sweet romance. Maybe, Anna Elliott isn't too much accurate with language and with some historical facts (I mean, for example, what a woman from that times would have done and what not) but it was a really lovely story. You need a proof?
He drew in his breath. His dark gaze was a mixture of longing and trepidation that made my heart feel so full it threatened to spill over. His head bent until his forehead rested against mine, and his hand slid through my loosened hair. His voice was an unsteady murmur. “I love you, Georgiana. I may not be sure of anything else— perhaps not even who I am right now. But I am sure of that.”
;-)
There were some plot twists and a bit of mystery. So, you will be surprised a few times. By the way, Elliott had something to tell us about people's emotions.
it is frightening what lies people can make themselves certain of, just because they are determined to accept the lies as true.
It must be far worse, I think, to lose all hope of freedom when you have been given just a taste.
It’s just that it seems to me that what is a terrible hardship to one person may seem trivially small to another, but that does not necessarily make the hardship any the less hard to bear for the one who suffers it.
Your own thoughts can sound unfamiliar and strange when they are out there, spoken in the world, as though they have taken on a life of their own.
Fate really does have a very peculiar sense of humour at times.

Yes, it was a very interesting experience - this novel. I read it two years ago and it was so original that I still remember quite a lot.

Imagine, Jane Austen world mixed with subtle magic. When I first read what this book is about I thought: "No, it couldn't work." But I was wrong.
I really enjoyed this novel. The story, the world was as gentle as magic in here. But it wasn't all. There were an observant words about relationship between sisters, about being a woman.
Now, when I am thinking of it, I have decided I am going to try another book with such kind combination: a little fantasy in a Regency or Victorian setting....more
