The British Booksellers

Kristy Cambron is a master!  I love her stories!
This one did not disappoint!
As usual, she is jumping between the past and the present but it was all the same characters in both so it was easier than when she has two time periods and separate groups of characters in each.
There were just a couple of {Uncomfortable Moments}.  The first one involves a husband speaking with his wife about producing an heir.  Nothing explicit is said of course but just the implications are a bit blushworthy :)  Secondly, (maybe I should have categorized this one as the possibility of a {BackStory}) there is a time where a character questions her parentage...suggesting her mother was untrue in her marriage.  I hope this isn't too much of a spoiler but it is made known later that was not the case but still...the possibility is considered.  Other than one uncharacteristic instance of the Lord's name in vain (in a british sort of way) there was no language and everything else was very clean.
I will say, I felt like, for some reason, some of the dialogue was a little harder to follow...such as who was speaking and some of the actual phrases I had to go back and reread because I didn't necessarily understand them the first time.  I don't know, it was a little weird because I don't remember that being a problem in her other books.  It didn't bother me enough to dial down the rating though...it was still a "stay awake into the morning hours to finish" book :)
I could and will easily recommend this book!
