I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
The book was a decent read and had a lot of promise. However, it needs to be thoroughly edited. There are a lot of grammatical errors and in many places the wording is either awkward or just doesn’t make sense.
That being said, the story itself was still entertaining, if a bit jumbled. We start off with a runaway, abused wife who just happens to run into her husband’s enemy’s courtesan. The two start a journey across the country until they are separated. From there we have naked nuns, courtesan training, romance, and, of course, the bad guy coming for everyone.
Amelia was a likeable main character from the start. I wanted her to make it through all her challenges. What I didn’t like about her was when she started talking about how she dreamed of being a wife and having the perfect husband – however, this is what would have been the norm during the time of this book.
Chetan, oh Chetan. This poor man. He went through so much in this book. He might be my favorite character. He developed so much through the book and became a kind of hero at the end.
I am looking forward to finding out what happens next in the sequel. I give this book 4 stars.
