Luke Delacroix has the reputation of a charming man-about-town in Gilded Age Washington, DC. In reality, he is secretly carrying out an ambitious agenda in Congress. His current mission is to thwart the reelection of Congressman Clyde Magruder, his only real enemy in the world.
But trouble begins when Luke meets Marianne Magruder, the congressman's only daughter, whose job as a government photographer gives her unprecedented access to sites throughout the city. Luke is captivated by Marianne's quick wit and alluring charm, leading them both into a dangerous gamble to reconcile their feelings for each other with Luke's driving passion for vital reforms in Congress.
Can their newfound love survive a political firestorm, or will three generations of family rivalry drive them apart forever?
My Review
This was another wonderful book by Elizabeth Camden! The characters, setting, and plot were very nicely formed. And it was really interesting to get a look into the early days of food preservatives being used in mass production. It was scary the way it was being used back then! And I loved getting a deeper look in the story of Luke, since he was a very interesting character I first met in the earlier books of this series. Plus the plot had a very interesting twist to it with Luke being a Delacroix and Marianne being a Magruder. Personally I think this was the perfect story to wrap up the series, and I highly recommend it!
I received this book free through NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
