My Review:
This was an unusual Regency story for me. There was a touch of paranormal with a ghost as one half of the main couple. I had to let my imagination go a little more than I do with Sarah M. Eden's other Regency books. I also felt the loneliness of the characters in this book. There was a sad feeling throughout the book, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It was a good story and I loved the writing.
I really liked the Welch setting of this book. It gave the story a different element and also there was a lot of humor related to English verses Welch culture. I am sure I was butchering the words, but it was fun to read something a little different.
Warnings: Black magic
I would let my 15 year old read this book.
