- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Giovanni Pietro D'Angelo, a wealthy silk merchant in Florence has been contacted my Lorenzo di Medici concerning his second daughter Francesca. Titus Cesare, Duke of Torreno Boscoso, is seeking a wife for his heir and di Medici wants Francesca to be one of the 3 candidates. After arguing with her father, Francesca reluctantly agrees to travel to Torreno Boscoso to meet the future Duke.Two other young women are also to be considered and the young heir will choose from the 3 maidens. When Francesca is selected she flees into the forest in an attempt to escape her fate but there she undergoes a change - realizing what she may have lost as well as what she may have found. Francesca's transformation from a spoiled aristocrat to the new duchessa is what is needed for she and the new duke to survive the difficulties ahead.I wasn't fond of the ending but it did have a purpose.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good historical romance with lots of events but the first half moved kind of slow and was mostly predictable. The second half picked up and some parts were rather surprising but I did not like the ending. Francesca is one of three maidens selected as potential bride for Rafaello.
