While I enjoyed the first book in this Historical Romance series more, Book of Love was a glance into a sliver of history, through the eyes of two characters who are polar opposites, that you can't help but notice parallels of today's struggles when it comes to Women's Rights. I wished it had more romance to it, but, in the end, I enjoyed the story for its obviously deeply researched details from the art of bookbinding in the 1800s to the slow-moving machine that was the betterment of women's lives at the time.
