In fact, his only interest is in besting his father. James, Lord Sanburne, has only the mildest interest in Egyptian artifacts. He needs more funding and Lydia is his emissary, handling the sale of his goods and writing papers based on her father’s research. Her father has been in Egypt for some time, uncovering ruins and sending goods back to be sold from time to time. She’s plainer than her younger two sisters and has sought refuge in the love and approval of her father, a scholar of Egyptian artifacts. Lydia Boyce is a spinster, living with her sister who is married to the man that Lydia thought she would marry. I think it’s a book in which I would find new layers and meaning each time I read it. This is a story that was technically masterful as well as being a great love story. It’s the first without qualification A I’ve given in a long time but I tried to look for flaws and couldn’t find them. It’s obvious from the categorization of this post that I gave the book an A. I put off reading it until recently when I cracked it open just to read the first couple chapters and ended up not being able to put it down. I admit that despite the urging of your critique partner, Janine, that I was reluctant to read your follow up book. For me, it read like a love story between you and India and not so much a love story between the characters. I was probably the only member of the Dear Author reviewing team that didn’t love your freshman debut, DUKE OF SHADOWS.
