review 1: This is the first book I've read by this author and I picked it up because the book was free. I checked out the sample and from the opening pages I was hooked. The author clearly has a good grasp on the time period. I liked how she wove some historical events into the story. I enjoyed the characters of Amy and Colin, but the climax of the book came way too soon. Once Colin rescued Amy and married her, I kept waiting for another plot twist. Nothing much happens the last third of the book and I kind of got bored with it. It's not a bad read, but it wasn't the best regency I've read either. I'm on the fence whether or not I'll read the other 2 books in the series.
review 2: The dull, drab years of the Commonwealth (1653-1658) has ended the Puritan experiment, Crom... morewell is gone, Charles II reigns, and the London fire of 1666 has destroyed much of the city ushering in a new era building and of royal decadence. Society is clearly divided along class lines with very limited opportunities for upward mobility: a) a small privileged aristocracy, b) a class of skilled artisans and merchants, and c) a large, poor lower class.Against this background we meet Amethyst Goldsmith a talented young jeweler and the aristocratic Chase family. The novel traces the difficulties and triumph of the two main characters Amethyst and Colin Chase.Sex: several scenesViolence: non graphic and appropriate to the time less
