The Spice King by Elizabeth Camden

     Book Description  Gray Delacroix has dedicated his life to building his very successful global spice empire, but it has come at a cost. Resolved to salvage his family before it spirals out of control, he returns to his ancestral home to save his brother and sister before it's too late.

As a junior botanist for the Smithsonian, Annabelle Larkin has been charged with the impossible task of gaining access to the notoriously private Delacroix plant collection. If she fails, she will be out of a job and the family farm in Kansas will go under. She has no idea that in gaining entrance to the Delacroix world, she will unwittingly step into a web of dangerous political intrigue far beyond her experience.

Unable to deny her attraction to the reclusive business tycoon, Annabelle will be forced to choose between her heart and loyalty to her country. Can Gray and Annabelle find a way through the storm of scandal without destroying the family Gray is fighting to save?      My Review I love books that are written by Elizabeth Camden. But this book surprised me. It was one of the best Elizabeth Camden books that I have ever read! The plot was very well done, and the characters were so wonderful to read about. The book had surprising twists in the story, and it kept me coming back for more. It is a wonder I got any sleep during the time I was reading this book, as this book kept me up late into the night trying to see what would happen next. I would say this is a must read for Elizabeth Camden fans. And even if you tried her books in the past but did not care for them, I would say try this one! It was simply amazing, and I wish the story could have lasted longer.             I received this book free through NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
