Amazing read would definitely recommend it to others.''I read everything this author writes as I love, love LOVE her books! This is one of the best I’ve read. Some fascinating history (from a neglected period), fabulous characters on a journey of discovery, a hint of spookiness and a whole carriageful of rollicking romance. Plus two wonderful romantic, swoon worthy heroes.''Wow! I was expecting a run of the mill historical novel, but have to say that I am finding The Other Gwyn Girl by Nicola Cornick an absolute page turner.'
