Elizabeth
Camden has become one of my favorite authors.
I find myself anxiously awaiting her next novel. She always has such interesting elements in
her stories.
Anna works
in the Library of Congress. Her father
disappeared years ago and the navy's story is that the ship was lost in a
hurricane. Anna knows that's not true
and is determined to find the truth. Fixing
a simple mistake turns out to be anything but easy. Her duties in the map room lead her to meet
an arrogant congressman who decides to take a shine to her. She's not willing to give the up the two
things that mean the most to her: her job and her privacy.
Luke was
struck by lightning once before when it came to love, and he's sure that his
fascination with the quiet librarian will fade soon enough. He's mistaken and finds ways to spend time
with her. She claims they can never be
together. She'll never fit into the role
of a congressman's wife, and Luke's temper is a cause for concern. He's prone to rages and even though he vows
never to be like his father, he sees similarities more often than not.
There's so
much to this story to love. From the sad
backgrounds of Anna and Luke to the unusual cast of characters that surround
them, this is a great read. These two
are about as opposite as it gets, but yet they're able to find the common
ground it takes to fall in love. It's
not all peaches and cream, though.
There's instances of alcoholism, physical and verbal abuse and even
death.
These things
are dealt with in a way that you don't regret picking up the book, and I
heartily recommend it. This was a great
book from beginning to end. The author
keeps you guessing from one point to the next - what happened to Anna's
throat? What happened to the
Culpeper? Will Anna ever find the
truth? I heartily give this one a Great
Book! review.

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