Title: A Captivating Story
Review: I began reading this novel as an exercise to improve my own writing, but by the time Kent and Della had their first meal together I was fully engrossed in the story. I could not wait to learn the fate of our heroine and hero. Ms Hiatt was able to draw real emotion from me. I quickly forgot that this was a learning exercise and was immersed in the story. However, I did manage to observe and greatly admire the way Ms Hiatt utilized her research in this novel. The research is seamless and invisible. It is a fresh story not bogged down by facts. The total affect of the research compels the reader to feel great emotion for the fictional characters.I enjoy historical fiction, but romance novels have never held my interest, until now! Thank you, Ms Hiatt for opening a new genre for me to explore: historical romance.
