About the Book
Natalia Blackstone is a rarity in Gilded Age
America. As a trusted analyst for her father's bank, she is helping
finance the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway. From her office in New
York City, Natalia relies on a charming Russian aristocrat to oversee
the construction of the railroad on the other side of the world.
But
while overseeing the work, Count Dimitri Sokolov witnesses the deadly
result of the Russian Monarchy's will to see the railway built. To
silence him, the state has stripped Dimitri of his title, his lands, and
his freedom . . . but Dimitri has a key asset the czar knows nothing
about: his deep and abiding friendship with Natalia Blackstone.
From
the steppes of Russia to the corridors of power in Washington, Natalia
and Dimitri will fight against all odds to save the railroad and share
the truth of what happened, but how can their newfound love survive the
ordeal? (Goodreads)
My Thoughts
Elizabeth Camden has written some of
my all-time favorite novels. This is book two in a series and while it
can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading book one first. This
story takes you on an adventure across the globe from New
York City to Russia. I love Natalia’s character and Dimitri is a hero
that you can’t help but love. The Blackstone family is so fun to read
because they are a interwoven mix of personalities. While this story
was not entirely what I was expecting, I still
really enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down. The witty conversation
between characters is splendid and they each have a uniqueness that
Camden is so good at creating. With twists and turns and strong willed
women I really wasn’t sure how this book would end
and was a bit surprised how everything played out. The history aspect
is interesting and I felt like I was transported right into New York City.
I loved reading this book and I highly recommend to fans of historical fiction.
Five Stars!
