A dark secret. A town in peril. A handsome stranger.
Between
protecting her town from a vicious sea monster and keeping her
overbearing mother off her back, Victoria has enough to deal with. She
doesn't need the bewitching charm of dapper lords wooing and tricking
her into marriage.
When a mysterious man shows up in Chuzzlewit,
he throws her completely off course. Victoria experiences things with
Graham she didn't know she could feel. His mesmerizing candor and brazen
abandon make her crave him in ways she never anticipated.
But
Graham isn't all he appears to be. He knows secrets about people, things
he couldn't possibly know, including a secret about Victoria herself
that she has yet to uncover.
And when he tells her what that is, being forced into wedlock is no longer her biggest problem.
Getting out of her town is.
My Review: 5 STARS
I picked this up because the cover and blurb sounded intriguing. I’m not usually one for fantasy or steampunk, but this book had me gripped from the first page and I was lost in the world that Pearson had created. I adored all of the characters, trying to second guess how things worked and where it was going kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. There were lots of twists I didn’t see coming, and I was delighted to find out that it’s the first in a series! This is one that I will come back to and enjoy very much. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Highly, highly recommended!
