Good story.

This was a interesting read; actually better than I expected. As the drama unfolds, I wanted to continue reading/listening without putting down. Full of intrigue, interesting characters, romance and very well narrated.

I really liked this story....well-written and very entertaining. It was full of interesting characters & twists & turns with just enough intrigue to keep me very interested. Loved it so much that I immediately reread it.

Excellent European Get-away!

Great historical fiction novel! I thoroughly enjoyed this narrator and felt as if I were living during that time right along side Amelia and her adventures! This book was perfectly paced with excitement and historical facts.
