Elizabeth Camden has done it again. This time she has written a murder mystery in
her newest historical, From This Moment. We are also treated to not one, but two
romance stories that will set your heart to racing. Stella West and Romulus White (what a lark to
be named after Rome’s founder) have had a correspondence through letters for
about three years. Romulus, part owner
of a science magazine has wanted Stella’s artistic talent for some time and has
been trying to get her on the staff.
Stella, who didn’t have plans to leave London, now finds her way to
Boston to do a personal investigation as to why her beloved sister who was an
excellent swimmer has died by drowning.
Stella knows that her sister has been secretly working with
a mysterious “A.G” uncovering the city’s corruption in the government. However, Romulus is determined to seek her
out when he has news she is now in his city.
Together they wheel and deal to get their own needs met: Romulus to help
Stella by introducing her to the cities officials and Stella to draw for the
magazine. Unfortunately there are those
who will stop at nothing to see that Stella does not uncover the truth to her
sister’s mysterious death and they are not very appreciative that Romulus is
helping. This causes not only Stella’s
world to spin out of control, but also Romulus’s. With that add a heaping of attraction between
these two very different individuals and watch the sparks fly.
One of the things I really like about Elizabeth Camden’s
books is that her characters are beyond the cookie cutter stereotypes. They are very different, and when she puts
them together with all of their eccentricities it makes for very different
story telling. My thanks go to Bethany
House Publishers for providing me with a copy for an honest review. The opinions are my own.
