No Place For A Lady

I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. I really enjoy history, however I am not a huge fan of the romance novel. So often when reading historical fiction these tow genres are entwined. I find often that in such novels the romance is primary and the history is secondary. No Place for a Lady does an excellent job of balancing the historical story and the lives of it's characters. I dropped my rating to three stars only because I found that the author tied everything up in a perfect little happy bow. In terms of social context and history the bow that was tied was to unbelievable for me.
I am looking forward to exploring Gill Paul's work further in her other novels.
