I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. It is going on the list as one of my all-time favorites. A Most Precious Gift is a historical romance, but it is about much more than love. A story of sacrifice, yearning for freedom, and self-respect, this novel is by far one of the best books I’ve read. I would recommend it to anyone, even if historical romance isn’t usually your genre. This novel literally moved me to tears at times, smiles at others. I can’t wait to read Jacqueline’s second novel, In Pursuit of an Emerald.
