Elizabeth
Camden has become one of my favorite authors with her well written stories and
lovable characters. In the past, I’ve
read The Lady of Bolton Hill, The Rose of Winslow Street, Into the Whirlwind,
and Against the Tide. When given the
chance to read this one, I jumped at it!
At the
beginning, we read about the fierce competition between Kate and Trevor. They’re getting ready to finish school and
their final challenge is to fight for a scholarship. Kate doesn’t understand why Trevor is even
going after this scholarship. He looks
like he has more than enough money and this is her only chance to go to
college. Trevor takes the scholarship
and her dreams as well.
Years later,
Kate has a chance to do the kind of statistical job she longs for while dealing
with tuberculosis patients. When she
finds out the doctor in charge of the study is “horrible” Trevor, she almost
changes her mind. He hasn’t changed over
the years and is as cold-hearted as she remembers. She’s been told that she and Trevor are so
alike they’ll either be best friends or enemies, and sometimes she wonders
which one.
Kate starts
to feel her heart soften toward Trevor, but he doesn’t seem at all interested
in pursuing a relationship with her.
Every time they seem to make progress, Trevor pulls back into
himself. He’s guarding a deep secret
that he knows will hurt Kate and doesn’t want to cause her pain. With an unknown person threatening Trevor’s
research and reputation, they’re going to have to work together.
I loved this
book. I really liked Trevor and Kate’s
competitive nature and how they interacted with each other. Kate is determined to find out what’s
underneath that cold exterior no matter the cost, and her personality made me
smile. It’s clear that the author has done
her research and the historical note at the end is interesting as well. As with her other books, it was a great read
and I highly recommend it. Good Book!

a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an
honest review.
