Shadows by Jules Nelson by Jules Nelson

Shadows gives an interesting view of life in the 19th century. It starts too slow for my taste, with long stretches where little else happens but flirting. It may be unfair, but the historic setting and the heroine led me to constantly draw compariso ...more
