Let's just get this out there, I am practically predisposed to like any of Elizabeth Camden's books, because her writing so clearly paints a picture of the historical time she is featuring. Her characters are lively and interesting, witty repartee abounds, and I am usually happy with how things have turned out when I finish one of her books.
This book is no exception. The second in her Empire State series, in this (still standalone, but you will definitely enjoy it even more if you read the first one...first) installment we meet Dr. Rosalind Werner who is initially at odds with Nicholas Drake who we first met in "A Dangerous Legacy".
Borne from personal tragedy, Dr. Werner is passionate about ending waterborne diseases and has found -and proven- that there is a safe solution. However, she knows she must convince those in power that it will work; and she also knows that for Nicholas Drake to believe in the solution and then choose to back it would be a major momentum shift. When Rosalind and Nicholas meet for the first time they realize an immediate connection, but they are repeatedly reminded of all the obstacles against them. There's a mystery and some danger, too! Will they partner together? Will public opinion change?
You'll have to get this book to find out! And I wholeheartedly recommend that you do.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest opinion.
