Title: An Untitled Lady
Author: Nicky Penttila
Genre: Romance, Historical Fiction
Published February 12, 2014
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Under the guise of a regency romance this book tells of the instance leading up to the Peterloo Massacre.
The book was unlike normal romances considering the historical relevance and upheaval which lead up to and resulted from the events.
I will admit I had never heard of the massacre until this book. I was curious enough to actually look it up and learn a little about it. I found the story dealing with the build up to be very repetitive, this lead me to be frustrated with the story a couple of times.
I did enjoy the characters. They were thought out and well rounded. A couple of times I felt as if Maddie, the main character, just needed to really get a brake. By the time I reached half way I thought okay she has been through enough now. Unlike a lot of other romance books where I think seriously the problem the characters are facing are just made up and corny, get over it already. The problems the characters faced were real problems that potentially real people faced.
Overall I gave this book 4 stars out of 5.
