I was slightly annoyed that Gist used another Bible than the King James Version since that would have been historically accurate. But, that's just a minor complaint. The book is really just a nice clean historical fiction romance. It's great if you are in the mood for a relaxing escapist read. Personally, I preferred The Measure of a Lady, but if you find you enjoy this genre, I recommend this as well.
