This story seems to highlight how love can transcend all barriers. However, since romance is not my usual genre, I will probably pass this one. Thanks for the review though!

Themes like deceit and greed usually follow a story with a theme of love. It is an interesting one. The cover sets the stage for a perfect Telemundo kind of romance. Congratulations on being the Book of the Day.

I'm not a fan of romance because a lot of love stories are too good to be true. However, I still wish to have a lifetime companion I get along with. I hope to learn more about relationships and how to survive some challenges I might encounter with my significant other. Congratulations on the BOTD.

The cover page says it all: a romantic story. I'm not usually a fan of romantic historical fiction, but this one has piqued my interest. I like how the author depicted flaws that are common in everyday life. I'm excited to read this book. Thank you, and congrats on BoTD.

Realising that a particular character bore different names in the book suggested that the character was a dynamic. This, I will know better when I read the book. Overall, the book look that one that may make a great read. The review reveal a great deal of interesting themes, ones usually make a piece worth the read. Kudos.

I like that this novel not only centers on love and romance, but teaches some life lessons on the importance of integrity and values. I believe this would be both insightful as it is entertaining and I'd love to read it. Thanks for your review

I suppose the romantic fiction beautifully portrays the challenges of marriage and its aftermath. It would be interesting to see how both the central characters manage to mingle their individuality with the responsibilities of their connection. Thank you for the detailed review.

Quite a romantic and heartfelt book, I must say. The author did infact put a lot into consideration when writing this. Great job on the review.

This book's cover is pretty attractive. The storyline sounds quite familiar—rake and damsel—but I've always enjoyed such books, so I'll give the book a try.
Congratulations, BOTD.

The Hoyden and the Rake by Victoria Price is not just a book of romance about two people falling for each other but also deals with other human aspects like loyalty, honesty and conscience.

Historical fiction is definitely my jam. The story looks compelling as well. This definitely suits the genres I am looking for to get up from the slump. I need a break from all the fantasy books I read this year. Thanks a lot!
