Were there many errors? Im surprised i dont recal but maybe once seeing one. Im sure there were some as i stated in my own review but i was so wrapped up in the story i didnt notice them. Usually they stop me in my tracks and disrupt the flow for me. I hope Belle Ami is able to get a better editor as well. i know many who will actually put a book down over it and not dinish it good or not.Yolimari wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 15:37 I really enjoyed reading The Girl Who Knew da Vinci. I loved how Belle Ami mixed romance, mystery, art, and different time periods. She has a notable ability to build up the the three couple’s romances and the mystery surrounding the lost da Vinci. I am looking forward for the next book in the series.
I thought that she overdid it with Angela’s visions of the past. Near the end of the story I was ready for the mystery to be solved. This is a minor issue for me. But what bothered me were the grammatical and spelling mistakes for which I deducted a star. I hope she gets a better editor for the next books.
Yes, I would recommend this book! I think readers who like art, romance, history, and mystery will enjoy it like me.

I don't think most of you saw the errors. After I submitted my Official Review, Scott contacted me to let me know the author updated the book with the errors I listed in the error section. As a result, I assume anyone who read this book after my review was published wouldn't have seen the errors.anwidmer wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 15:46Were there many errors?

I actually found twelve errors, although we are both on the same page regarding the fact that there were several errors.

I agree that mystery books are very intriguing. Although I have to say that I love the art side!

I found enough errors that I was required based on the OBC guidelines to deduct a star. I wouldn't have given this book 4 stars anyway for the awkward dialogue between Angela and Alex and the excessive focus on their intimate relationship. I did think the 3 stars were warranted though since I enjoyed the visions of Sophia and Fioretta and the search for the painting.anwidmer wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 15:46Were there many errors?

I wouldn't consider myself interested in art at all, but I greatly enjoyed its inclusion in this book. Even if the painting were done by a lesser-known artist I think I would have liked. The inclusion of da Vinci was just a bonus.anix67 wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 17:27 I have always absolutely loved loved loved art and It drew me into this book! I couldn't wait to read more and I would definitely recommend it to people. Although, I do realize that not everybody is as into art as I am so I guess it would be wise not to recommend it to everybody. I've been telling some of my art friends about it though for sure. I would also love to get some non art friends in on it and have people expand their horizons! Everybody could stand for doing so

I think Ami's book would receive better overall ratings if she is more open about the fact that this is a romance, not historical fiction. Avid historical fiction readers who aren't into romance novels shouldn't be the target audience.anwidmer wrote: ↑27 Jun 2018, 15:46Were there many errors?
