Against the Tide - 4.5 stars

I had never heard of Elizabeth Camden before, but now she is going to be a favorite on my reading list.

I read Against the Tide and was blown away by the quality of writing. Especially from someone I had never heard of.

I found the characters compelling, the story line believable and the book, in general, was much deeper than others I have read like it.

Lydia Pallus is a strong willed woman, who falls for a man who is full of passion. The passion that he lives and breathes threatens to tear them apart.

This book enlightened me to something I had never given a second thought to, the opium trade of the 19th century.

Check this book out, it is different than the typical historical romance. It has a great plot and you just might fall in love with the characters!

*I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
