Worth a Fortune by Sam Ledel.
Thank you Netgallery and Bold Stroke books for an e-book for an unbiased review.
This had all the right hallmarks for the kind of book I love. A historical wlw led romance.
It isn't a long book so is a quick pick up to read. This though also, for me at least, plays into where the book wasn't quite working.
You quickly get a feel for all the main characters, and while no-one stood out, they were all absolutely fine and probably the best part of the book for me at least.
We also had good moments of what had led the two MC's to drift apart, and the problems it caused them both.
The biggest problem I had with the book was all too often everything was just too vague. Vagueness on those around them. Vagueness on details in general. It all felt rather clichéd by the time I finished the book.
If rather light on detail, quick romantic reads are your thing (the chick lit of the wlw world if you like) then this book will absolutely suit you, and I can see why for some people they would give it 5/5 stars.
The characterisation was by far the strongest part of the book, but it felt as if it wasn't enough in this instance. Sadly it didn't quite hit the notes I was hoping for so a solid but unremarkable 3/5 stars is what I give.
