Summary
Reviewer by lovebooks: Overall This is the second book in her series about a part of Southern history I'd never heard before. This book is just as good as the first one in the series. I care about all the characters, even the ones I don't want to like, and the plot twists kept me up all night so I could finish the book. Like all her books, she skillfully blends adventure, mystery, romance, flawed characters, and spirituality into a mustread. Before reading MaryLu Tyndall, I used to tell people I didn't like historical romance now I'm hooked!
Sexual A lot of flirting and tension between characters who don't want to admit their feelings for each other. There is a physical attraction, but the author focuses more on people seeing each others' hearts, even when they're trying to hide who they are. LOVE it.
Drug & Alcohol One character craves alcohol to escape her situation (stuck in Brazil when she wants to be back in Southern USA) and pressure from her parents to \"marry well\" to restore the family fortune, but she realizes that alcohol is not the answer. She's real enough to face her situation and find a true solution.
