It took me a while to get into this book and I'm not exactly sure why. The characters are likeable, the short subplot is interesting enough and the immaculate witty banter between Silas and Maggie is SO good.
I think it was the beginning. It's very slow to build up anything between the characters, so if you're looking for insta-love romance read, this is not for you.

My main issue with this book was their way of trying to end slavery.. Like you buy them hoping to end slavery ???
My brain might not have followed on how buying people would end slavery.. The positive was that those who had families still was returned and those who had not, got a second chance in one of the settlements.
