Nicola Italia

I always enjoy Nicola’s books and she did not disappoint. This time around a murder happens at the winter ball. There is also forbidden love. Lots of twists and drama. This was a fast read because I couldn’t put it down. I really liked a lot of the characters.

Great beach read or curl up by the fire with a blanket and a warm drink. Be prepared to go back in time to London and be prepared to be entertained. Well worth the read.

I thank the author for my copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. I have read several of her books and I recommend them all.… (altro)

A very enjoyable literary fiction by an author who is good at pulling the reader into the lives of the characters. This story is set in the middle 1700's in Paris, France. Sophie is a socialite who has been educating herself on what is happening in Paris and France. She has been writing pamphlets under a false name and feels she needs to educate people just as she educates herself about the injustices. But her pamphlets are making people think she is a revolutionary and is going against the monarchy. She also is attracted to Sebastian, the secretary to the Duke but also he is the Sheik's son. Sebastian is also attracted to Sophie. Then there is Sebastian's sister Leila who is a little minx. She is after Sebastian's good friend and is also determined to get rid of her virginity.

Nicola is great with description so you can really visualize the characters and locations. You can lose yourself in her stories. This is the second book by Nicola I have read and I've really enjoyed her writing. I thank Nicola for sending me a copy of this book for an honest review. I look forward to reading more of her books.… (altro)
