This was my first Historical Romance book that I have read and it turns out pretty good. Most of the books that I read are either Fantasy, Dystopian, SCI-FI, or YA. Well I don't think school books counts because they are for school. 

I don't really like reading Historical book because they are boring and the language doesn't make sense but this book was actually better than I thought. Well I don't think this was the first Romance book because I read other Romance before. Good thing Prairie Song was great.

If you are interseting into trying out a Historical Romance book than you should give this book a try and see if you like it. If you do there's more of Mona Hodgson's books.
