This book is part of an interesting series idea. Seven older girls are left homeless after a fire burns down the orphanage. Each book follows a different girl, written by a different author, thus guaranteeing each girl has her own distinct voice. This book follows Sara, the oldest of the seven, who finds out that her mother was a German Jew who didn't survive the Holocaust. Sara uses the little money that she has saved to travel to Germany and unlock her origins. That back of this book states that this is Young Adult for 12+ and I think that is an accurate age assignation. It is simply written which makes the dark content more appropriate for the younger end of the teen spectrum. I thought this was a really interesting book and I like the idea and execution of this series. I received this book from a LibraryThing giveaway.

Jeremy Keane is a promising artist who finds the perfect muse in Lady Yvette. Yvette is a smart woman whose past romantic disaster has made her very hesitant towards rogues like Jeremy. I found Jeremy to be a very interesting hero. His artistic talent and dislike of business adds a sensitive side not much seen in historical romances. I liked both characters but I didn't feel that there was as much relationship/chemistry build-up that I like to see. Overall, it was entertaining and I enjoyed reading this book. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
