I LOVED this book! Everything about it was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the setting, which made me recall longingly (with Hiraeth?) the time I spent in the welsh countryside. This romance was very true to historical realities and I learned a lot about chartist movement. While I enjoy light and fluffy historical romances, as well, it is nice to read one that deals with harsh realities without being depressing. 5/5
