But when they both finally relented and released their pent up love for one another- the pages were smoking! (Those kisses! I think the edges of my book are singed a little!!) A compelling plot and deep-rooted love story that kept me turning the pages well into the night, this one has landed on my 'favorites' shelf to be enjoyed again and again! As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much I've already started book #2 in the series! And the romance! Mercy! The longing Thomas and Eliza had for one another was just barely contained beneath the surface as they struggled to navigate their feelings. I did not perceive that I was a simple spectator observing the characters around me, but rather Perry wrote in such a way that I felt Thomas and Eliza's longing for one another, suffered his torture at having to keep his affections restrained, cried with Eliza as she felt rejected by Thomas again and again, and experienced the unease of Samuel's disturbing psychosis. Perry not only successfully accomplishes this with the action and danger unfolding throughout the plot, but also takes her writing to the next level by drawing the reader straight into the depths of the emotions the characters are experiencing. Can I just start by saying that Amber Lynn Perry is a new favorite in the historical romance genre on my bookshelf! One of the hallmarks for me of a good writer is that he or she draws the reader into the action making them a part of the story.
