In addition, the mistreatments of the Heroine’s people, by the British, was an additional obstacle between them. Both their religious laws and government laws prevented marriage between them. The Hero was Protestant and the Heroine was Catholic. Perhaps the most difficult obstacle was their religious differences. The Hero and Heroine had so many obstacles to overcome.

This was another beautiful story of a difficult journey to true love. Don't get me wrong, this is so definitely worth the read, and I will most likely read it again, I just don't absolutely love it like I did last time.I just like it. After reading it both ways, I think the Publishers made a really good decision the first time. She was exicted when she got the rights back, so then she could put it out in electronic form how she meant for it to be with all the parts about Nicholas. Maybe that's all that it is, if so I think the publishers made a good decision, even though I remember reading that it really upset Clare. I think the difference might be when I read it the first time the Publishers thought it was too long (I now agree with them) and made Pamela Clare take out all the parts about Nicholas except for the barest mention during the book and at the very end. However, now that I'm in my thirties and have kids of my own, there was just a little bit too much angst for me. I absolutely loved it and gave it 5 stars.

When I first read this book it was ten years ago and was in my twenties.

The narration was great, but the story was just a little too long for me (more angst than their needed to be). Narration was great, story a little too long
