Being a fan of the TV series, I just wanted to read this book. I did not have much expectations going in and hence was not disappointed. Although the book is set in 1902, I kept forgetting that and imagined the story to be set in the current period like in the TV series. There were instances where I had to think twice to realize that this is a historical romance. It was a fun and quick read, and as a fan, I did enjoy reading this.
