Summary
Success surrounds Stella West and Romulus White; Stella being a renowned artist and Romulus the publisher of a science journal with world wide circulation. Romulus has courted Stella's attention from afar for three years; he feels that her colorful illustrations would be the perfect addition to his publication, but up until this point she has expertly deflected his offers. When Romulus learns that the young artist has relocated from London to Boston, his drive for excellence puts Stella directly within his sights.
Stella West has maintained a very low profile upon arriving in Boston in order to continue a private investigation of her sister's untimely death. Putting her art career on hold, she has managed to procure a job in Boston's City Hall where her sister had begun to uncover a ring of government corruption. When Romulus White barges into her life, Stella is unprepared for the barrage of feelings that he invokes; Romulus is handsome, charming and determined, but perhaps he can also become an asset, he knows the very people that Stella needs to access.
"From this Moment" is a very interesting story, Stella and Romulus are both intelligent, often self-centered individuals who start out blatantly using each other for their own advantage and end up nearly destroying a beautiful future just within grasp. Did they really change? That uncertainty along with a bare mention of redemption, left me wondering. Nevertheless, Elizabeth Camden has written a page-turner.
