Luther and Katharina Mini Book Review

About the book

2016 ECPA Book of the Year for Fiction! 2016 Christy Award Winner for Historical Romance!

Katharina von Bora has seen nothing but the inside of cloister walls since she was five. In a daring escape, Katharina finds refuge with Martin Luther and seeks his help to pair her with the noble, wealthy husband she desires.

As class tensions and religious conflicts escalate toward the brink of war, Martin Luther believes that each day could be his last and determines he will never take a wife.

As the horrors of the bloody Peasant War break out around them, the proud Katharina and headstrong Martin Luther fight their own battle for true love, in one of the greatest love stories of history.

My thoughts

There were definitely some moments in this story that stretched the truth, but in spite of that, I loved the whole book from start to finish. Even though this story was marketed more as a historical novel rather than historical romance, the romance here was a beautiful slow burn that burned brightly when these two stubborn individuals accepted each other without reservation.

Once I made it to the halfway point, I couldn’t stop and at 1:30am, I was finally able to sleep after turning the last page.

Spice level – VERY HIGH
