Don’t judge a book by its cover, although I also didn’t really like the cover much, I didn’t enjoy the contents. I think that both the hero and heroine lacked substance.

The hero reminded me of Dido Elizabeth Belle, a real-life person who was the first black aristocrat. I saw the movie and her situation was complicated, her family hid her during social events, but she was neither part of aristocrat social circles nor was she a slave or servant. Watch the movie, its really good, now back to the book.

Adrian is a likable character that wants his uncle, a power-hungry bishop, to acknowledge him, that where I stopped liking him. His mother was white, and his father was black. Why does he need his uncle’s approval, if what he wants is a happy life with a happy wife, he is better off without his uncle in his life?

Camilla was less likable. She left her family when they were going through a very hard time to live with her rich uncle. She goes from being an aristocrat to being a maid. Ha! She deserved that. She is constantly saying she wants love but doesn’t deserve it and soon I find myself agreeing with her.

Courtney Milan please come back and try again.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC provided by Netgalley. My review is my honest opinion about this book.
