I like a good romance book. There’s nothing like a story of ‘forbidden’ love. This type of love usually overcomes all. This is a beautiful story that teaches about true love, perseverance and friendship. Congratulations on BOTD!🙌🏽🥳

From your review, I can confirm that the storyline and plot would be interesting. I'm a huge fan of historical fiction, so I'd check this book out. Congratulations on being the Book of The Day.

A beautiful romance fiction that portrays a love that withstood so many storms. Themes of true love, integrity, values, are highlighted among others. The character development and the twists in the story make this book a must read. Thank you for the compelling review.

A really insightful review . I'm not a fan of romance books though and I would not say this is any different from any other I've come across. The aspect of Fiona trying her best to hold on to her principles I'm sure makes it worth the read for romance lovers.

Good story. There were a lot of twists in Fiona and Phillip's love that story got me curious and kept me in suspense till the end of the book. I had a lot of questions running through my mind, the uncertainty of how the whole story would turn out. But the author did a great job in answering these questions in the course of the story. Congratulations on BOTD!

This sound like an amazing love story. Fiona and Philip like each other but both don't think themselves worthy of the other. This is the biggest obstacle in their love and marriage, but there are many more obstacles stopping them from being together. Congratulations on BOTD!

I had questions about true love and somehow this book became the book of the day! Kinda feel like as if this is the Divine appointment to me. Would like to explore more of this how "... the love can survive the test of time and beat the worst of storms."

A romantic fiction book would benefit greatly from the idea of love that endures the test of time. The author did a fantastic job of giving the characters life and keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. If Philip and Fiona are able to get over all of the challenges that seem to be keeping them apart, it would be interesting to know. Congrats on botd!

I liked the way the review highlights the uniqueness of the book about changing the names of the characters. It adds a fresh layer to the story while keeping the readers engrossed at the same time. Great job!
