This is the first book in the series. According to the note at the end, in 2018
there will be another book surrounding Lucy’s brother, Nick. He’s a prominent character in this book.
Lucy works for the AP news service and enjoys listening to
the stories come across in Morse code and transcribing them for the world to
read. She runs across a story about
Colin and decides to try and help him out.
When he discovers she has an illegal wire, he wants to know why.
Both Colin and Lucy are chained by their circumstances. Colin has an estate, a sister and ninety
tenants to consider, making him seek out an heiress to save his family
home. Lucy and her brother have been in
a lawsuit with their uncle for years. Their uncle is a ruthless man, and anyone who
has contact with Lucy or her brother seems to feel his wrath.
I liked most of this book, really I did. I loved the quirky interactions using carrier
pigeons, how Lucy was dedicated to her cause, and how Colin was willing to get
details about Lucy’s lawsuit to help her out.
But at a certain point, Lucy did a few things that aggravated me. I can’t get into specifics since I don’t give
spoilers, but the last 25% of the book was a letdown. I didn’t like Lucy’s character and her
decisions had me wishing Colin had a better option.
Next up is the book about Nick, Lucy’s brother. I really liked his character, and I’m hoping
it will be better. I love Camden’s
books, just not this one.
*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
