Favorite part: The characters first meet via telegram. Natalia giving Dimitri a manicure.
Favorite character: Dimitri. Strong alpha, but with a tender spirit that is driven by integrity and a calling from God for justice.
What did I learn?: Sometimes there aren’t perfect solutions to hardship, but love entrusted to a good God is a beautiful thing.
Will I read this author again?: This is my favorite book I’ve read of Elizabeth Camden so far!
This is book 2 in the series. I need to go
back and read book 1. I can’t wait for the 3rd!
Characters:
Count Dimitri Solokov - Russian
Natalia Blackstone - American daughter of
a Russian ballerina.
Voice: Third person (my preference)
Setting or World: 1900 Russia & New York City
The End: Satisfying (I wish it had been drawn out a bit more!)
Recommended for: Readers that enjoy a strong male lead, but not at the expense of an independent female. Those that have interest in Russian politics at the turn of the century.

From Russia to New York City
"Wind tugged his hair as he stood on the open-air platform between the railcars. The train moved at only thirty miles an hour, but the railroad bed was covered with stones, and it would be a hard landing. Would this be the end? The weeks and months ahead were going to be hard, but it was time to act."Count Dimitri Sokolov witnessed a horrific event that results in him being sent to Siberia Natalia Blackstone becomes concerned when she can't get in touch with the man who was her contact on the construction of the railroad. And so begins the transcontinental story that involves the railroad, banking, music and the highest in Russian command.I love well-written Christian historical fiction books that allow the reader to be transported both in place and time. This book is partially set in Russia, New York City and even San Francisco. Parts of the book are connected to real life events - The Trans-Siberian Railroad and some of the problems that happened during construction. The end notes provide the facts along with identifying the characters that once actually walked the earth.This book is definitely connected to the Blackstone Legacy Book 1, Carved in Stone. Reading that book first is highly recommended. The characters are authentic and enjoyable.I did receive an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. But because I listened to the first book in the series, I decided to purchase the second one because I really enjoyed the narration. Pillar Witherspoon brings the characters to life. This series has opened up my mind to new experiences. I can't wait to listen to book three.
