Book One in the Silk House Series... adventure, intrigue at court, romance, spies, and very well detailed historical research in a very readable book!
Romance - adventure - danger A historical novel that takes place in France. Hope rests in warning the handsome Marquis Fabien de Vendome of the wicked plat against his kin. But to do so, Rachelle must follow a perilous course
I was so disappointed with this book. It was very graphic regarding fighting, war, and murder. I stick to Christian based books because I typically find them an emotionally safe place to be, this was not. I started the second book in the series and simply could not finish it. It may have been historical, but if I want all the gory details of that historic time frame, I would have picked a secular book series on the topic.
I love Linda Chaikin's writing. This book was a little too physical, but I did enjoy the plot of the book and learned a lot about that time period.
