Good subject, story a little flat

While I enjoyed the topic, the ending was a bit jumbled for me. The story was intriguing, making me want to read to the end. The details about the sinking were accurate. The ending was confusing and unrealistic. Was there espionage? The romance was predictable. There were at least two typos with the wrong name that didn’t help the flow.

The love story on the Lusitania seems like a rewrite of Titanic. While the idea of researching a book is interesting, I felt like that was more of a chick-lit, American girl is involved in a meet cute with a British noble

Good historical fiction!! Riveting although tends to get bogged down towards the end.....like it took forever for the ending to wrap up.
