Helpful Score: 1
Superbly written, sublimely romantic, and poignant. A very unusual historical romance with atypical heroine and situation. An all-nighter for sure.
Taking place in the very late 1800's, the heroine, Verity, is a chef who had a notorious affair with her employer. Her backstory is filled with unsuitable and unladylike behavior and a revelation or two casting her only in a worse light. She drinks, smokes, has sex.
Yet Sherry Thomas makes Verity an appealing and sympathetic character and Stuart a surprisingly sexy and romantic hero. This novel is full of beautiful language and a deep and abiding love that has withstood the test of many years.
Sherry Thomas creates tension right from the start of the book and keeps it going to the end. Passion, sexual tension, longing - the ingredients of a cherished loved story.
The love scenes are fairly short although one of them is extremely steamy for all it's lack of detail and brevity. The situations are sexy and the passion is palpable.
Beautiful.
