| To Purchase |
Dr. Rosalind Werner is at the forefront of a groundbreaking new water technology—if only she can get support for her work. Nicholas, Commissioner of Water for New York, is skeptical—and surprised by his reaction to Rosalind. While they fight against their own attraction, they stand on opposite sides of a battle that will impact thousands of lives.
My Thoughts:
A Daring Venture
is just more proof of why author Camden is one of my favorites. This is the
second book in a series, and what I really like is how she puts two opposing
teams against each other, at times shockingly so. Yet, they work together for
the common goal. While the first book dealt with opposing British and American
newspapers, this one interested me more just due to the subject matter:
filtered water vs water treated with chemicals.
The book starts off with a rather dire cholera epidemic.
Affected by this as a child, Dr. Rosalind Werner has taken her studies in
biochemistry to the US and wants to make water healthy for everyone. Nick
Drake, the brother from the first book, has moved up the ladder from being just
a plumber to being the Commissioner of Water for New York. He also is looking
into providing clean water for the city but through the use of filtration only.
Both Rosalind and Nick have very strong opinions and a very strong attraction
to each other right from the first. It is an instant attraction, but it is done
well and really they needed that to even survive the problems that were coming
there away.
I find Camden’s characters always interesting and very out of
the box. The history behind the water we drink and use today was fascinating
and I even had a discussion about chlorine in water with someone right before I
read the book. So yes, this water issue is still important to this day. I look
forward to the third in this series as it is about two characters from this
book that I don’t even care about much. However, I have a feeling I will by the
time I dive into that story!
I received a complimentary copy of this novel. I was not
required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
