Swashbuckling, 18th-century fun! I enjoyed Genevieve's consistently headstrong character. She was so flawed and yet so strong in her beliefs, nearly ruining everything with her lack of caution in the end! The setting of a porcelain factory was interesting and different, while her Huguenot background presented a novel perspective I appreciate, having Huguenot ancestry in our family tree as well. So far, I recommend almost anything by Nancy Bilyeau as a fun, generally clean read.
