My Review

 I loved this story, as with the first book in this series, we are with the Blackstone banking family. I enjoyed being reunited with past characters, and and how they carried on in this read, but, yes this can be read alone!

This is Natalie and Count Dimitri Sokolov's story, and we are dealing with the Trans-Siberian railroad, full of historical facts, and how the relationship grows between these two.

Be ready for some chuckles, some sweet romance, and some horrors perpetrated by those that could, injustice, and those who want justice!

This quickly became a page turner, and keep reading the epilogue, heart warmer!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
