Rosalind de La Fontaine doesn’t remember who she really is. When she was six years old, she was found, almost beaten to death by Ryder Sherbrooke, who took care of her and became her guardian. When she finally opens her mouth six months later, her first words are a strange song. Now she is in her first season in London, in 1835. She meets Nicholas Vail who has just returned from Macau to claim his inheritance. They are attracted to each other right away, as if pre-ordained. Grayson Sherbrooke acquires a strange book that no one can read. But, surprisingly, Rosalind can. Rosalind is the key to a centuries old mystery, and Nicholas is caught up within it. He needs to keep her close, protect her and help her solve the mystery, but can he keep his heart?
Catherine Coulter is one of my favorite authors and I was thrilled to be able to read and review this particular title. It looked intriguing and I wasn’t disappointed. Ms. Coulter cleverly writes an historical romance with a good dash of the fantasy mixed in. She gives her readers absolutely delightful characters. Both Rosalind and Nicholas are interesting and alive. There are many secondary characters that make the story interesting and gives it depth. The dialogue, especially between Rosalind and Nicholas is witty and entertaining. This story will draw the reader in on its first page and Ms. Coulter leads the reader into a fascinating adventure. There is some unexpected twists at the end. I loved this story, it was a wonderful read and I can’t rave enough about it. Thank you, Ms. Coulter!
