    The Price of Innocence will capture you from the first page.

    I could not put this book down. The story draws you into the time period and you feel and see everything just like you are there among the characters. The author has really done her homework on the time period details and it comes across as very credible. If you want something to read for your book club, a rainy day or to give as a gift, this would be an excellent choice. I'm going to read it again! Enjoy!

    Great story!

    I'm always looking for a new author, and Vicki Hopkins is at the top of my list. Written in such a way that one can "see" what Hopkins has written. Wonderful story. Yes, the ending is unlike most, but that's what makes it so "novel." Anxiously awaiting her next book.

    A Rich Historic Romance

    It is clear that the author immersed herself into the period depicted in her first historic romance. Her research gave her the tools to paint a rich tapestry that is deeply detailed, depicting a realistic portrayal of the brutal world of Paris in the late 1800's.

    The story flows smoothly and takes you along on Suzette's struggle as she fights to survive in a cruel city that offers no hope for non-privileged women. You understand her gratitude to the man who gives her the chance to rise above her unfortunate situation, her ensuing love for him as he continues to protect her, and the desperation she feels when the truth of her situation is revealed.

    The author gives us rich, well-defined characters and makes us care about them, yet holds nothing back about the grim reality of a woman's place in a man's world.

    I look forward to the next book in the series!

    A True Page Turner

    I loved this story. I am going to be honest, romance or Pre-20th Century stories have never been my first choice to read. However, The Price of Innocence was a book I could not put down. The story is written in a way that immediately sweeps you up into the life of Suzette and the other characters. I felt as if I was living in 19th Century Paris. I am really looking forward to the sequel!

    Amazing, couldn't put it down.

    The Price of Innocence is a well written, more-than-worth-it read. The characters are well developed and the story line is amazing. You just can't put it down! I wanted to keep reading the book, never wanting it to end. The setting is very detailed and interesting. I recommend this book to anyone. A cup of coffee, a couch, and a cozy fire on a rainy day is the perfect way to read this novel.

    The Price of Innocence will not disappoint

    This novel has everything...filled with complex characters and has tremendous emotional depth. A wonderful and tender love story, yet the harsh realities and challenges of everyday life are interwoven throughout the novel. I was hooked from page one, and was completely engaged until the very last word. This novel is a must read and will not disappoint. A true masterpiece.
