I get so frustrated while reading historical romance that it seems like so many heroines are allowed to do one 'bad' action. I just really think that Jane needed more to actually do in this plot aside from being angelic near Crispin. But this book was really not her story it was very much Crispin's story, which is fine. She had a plan, she made beautiful artwork as a way to get back at her abusive family, and she seemed really smart. I was so invested in her at the beginning of the story. But I genuinely was trying to love the book up until that point. I really was engaged at the beginning of the novel, more on this later, but as the story progressed, I just added more and more things to my list of dislikes, and by chapter 15, I fully freed myself from hoping my mind was going to be changed. Very unfortunately, I just did not like this book. The writing itself is really wonderful, the dialogue is occasionally really honest and romantic, and there is a really prominent plot outside the main couple. I want to begin by saying I totally think I see why some people really like this book.
