I don't read much of Historical fiction, but this review made it interesting. It justifies well the rating it was given. Storyline is good and it seems like there are more to it than what it says on the review, making it more intriguing.

I like how headstrong Susanna is; she wants to be independent and think for herself and not be married. As stubborn as she is, I feel that she mimics women in many ways. I am curious to know how her life turns out. Thanks for the review!

Just reading the review makes me want to grab a copy of this book. The main character is going to make this book worth my read. Interesting review.

I've never got the courage to engage in a historical fiction, but this one seems promising, especially when you learn while laughing your heart out. Congratulations on BOTD and great review.

I love historical romance novels. Susanna is a dominant and strong woman. Which rebel will she choose? Will it be Tom? I will have to read to find out. Thanks for your review.

I can't imagine the shame Susanna's Father must have faced when he had to banish her. She also seems like a rebellious and intriguing character. I must applaud the author for his amazing writing. Congrats BOTD

The romance story about an untamed-rebellion daughter is new to me. I wonder if the maid had something to do with her manner. Thank you for the review.

I love me some wonderful historical fiction! I do think that this is not only about rebellion and its history, but also about the history of women, the history of working people, royalty, and the history of relationships. I would like to read this book in the near future! Thank you for the wonderful review!

Susanna sounds like a bold and passionate character. She loved her paintings despite getting rebuked and banished by her father to Bourne. I am excited to know her story. Congratulations on BOTD!

Although today's BOTD isn't for me, those who enjoy historical fiction novels with elements of romance, as well as stories about rebellion will want to check out this free read. Readers will enjoy learning about the characters and what motivates their actions. Thank you for the helpful review! Great work! :-)

I have never been a fan of historical fiction books, but this one seems to have an intriguing plot. The addition of well-developed characters with relatable goals is something I might enjoy. Nice review.
