Our hero and heroine have are being employed by a childhood frenemy of Emily, who needs to locate her missing husband and ascertain who murdered her father in law. This journey will take them back over 100 years to a pair of star crossed lovers from feuding families.
As you all know, I am a huge fan of the Lady Emily series. I love how progressive and daring the character is for her time as well as the beautiful relationship between Emily and Colin. It's sweet and genuine, but what really struck me this time, was the mystery.
Alexander could have easily used this book as a retelling of Romeo & Juliet, but instead, she dove deeper. We get a tale of enduring love and faithfulness that I got so engrossed in that sometimes, I didn't want to switch back to Emily.
So lovely! Highly recommended for fans of the Lady Julia series!
