Lilly and Dominic take us on a romantic journey through an earlier time where reputation is all that matters. The characters are very straight forward, and all of them seem to have a good grasp on who they are. This was a bit unusual for me, as usually not everyone is so secure within themselves. Regardless, I liked the story, and though the strong emotion connection between Lilly and Dominic was a bit hard to buy early on, the attraction between the two was apparent instantly. The emotion did develop over time, and I definitely felt the bond strengthen before the end. I like the stroll through this time period, though there are a few areas that I question when it comes to accuracy. In a time where reputation is all that matters, there were some liberties taken that I'm not sure would have been overlooked during that time. For me, that's not a problem, I'm not a stickler for 100% accuracy in romance novels. If you're a stickler, you may not enjoy this particular book.This is the first book I've read by this author. I did receive it for free on Amazon, and I will probably read another if there are more in the series. I'll be interested to see how the characters develop from here. There were a few editing issues throughout, which immediately took me out of the story when I stumbled across them. Unfortunately, it really ruins the flow to switch to editing mode. This is a nice, easy read, I would recommend it anyone who enjoys romance novels. Got this free from Amazon.It appears that the author may be fairly new in the business so there's definitely room for growth.The basic plot of the story was strong and promising. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of supporting scenes to help with character insight and development. I read this in less than a day because there were many areas that were easy to skip (intimacy scenes). Such scenes should be used as garnish, not the main course.Often there were descriptions or hints about Dominic's past but not much more. Childhood flashbacks could have helped. The same can be said about Lillian; there were references to her childhood and family but not much more.The villain could also be improved by adding depth of character.All the same, the story and author has potential.
What do You think about Mine, All Mine (2013)?
really 3.5 stars... but it did make me swoon a couple of times...

Didn't care about characters. Plot not developed enough for me
