A book in the historic fiction genre with a dash of romance and littered with historical facts must be captivating. The book appears intriguing and fascinating. I love the title of the book. I also love the inclusion of historical facts from which readers can learn a thing or two. I enjoyed reading your beautifully written review.

I do enjoy a good romance now and then, and the fact that it also includes a theme of reincarnation makes it more intriguing. Thanks for the review!

It sounds like this author used the idea of reincarnation as a support to bring in historical settings, which sounds intriguing. I’m not a big fan of time travel or reincarnation, but used in this way sounds somewhat intriguing. I will check into this one further. Thanks for the recommendation.

Romance and reincarnation isn't my favorite topics so I won't read this book. Although, it sounds that it is well written and touching.

What a great review! I love a good romantic novel with some historical fiction thrown in. The fact that it’s set in Chicago also gives this book another point in my book.

A journey into the past sounds intriguing as heck! I haven't seen any good reincarnation books recently, and this one looks perfect! I have added it to my list of books to read. :D

Wonderful review! I love historical romance, but I don't care for topics such as reincarnation and time-travel! This sounds like an excellent book based on your review. However, I have been reading the sample and there is a lot of profanity early in the book, which is another thing I have a problem with! A few words here and there are fine but the use of God's name in vain is very disturbing to me. You did an outstanding job on the review, but I will have to pass on this one.

I see fire, looking on cover and in my case it kills the mood to read this book a bit. I thought review will rectify it somehow, although after reading description was left with impression - interesting, but not exactly intriguing. Still am undecided about choosing it.
