A wonderful historical adventure/romance.

There was attempt to poison the queen. She is an apothecary. He needs to visit each of the apothecaries in London. Imagine their surprise when he walks through her door.

This is an historical romantic thriller full of suspense, action and amazing characters. The characters are well crafted, full of strengths, foibles, difficult pasts and hidden secrets. They pop off the page and engage you into their tale and keep you interested right until the end. The story switches between the point of view of the two main characters allowing us access into their thoughts, insecurities, fears, motivations and actions. Through the narrative we are able to visualize the age in which the story takes place and the political environment of the time. The storyline flows smoothly along, filled with action, romance, emotional drama, mystery, danger and suspense. The author takes us on an emotional rollercoaster as the characters try to deal with their pasts, inner turmoil and the extreme circumstances that they are placed in. There are some steamy hot scenes that are incorporated excellently into the storyline. Overall this is one great adventures that holds the reader’s interest right to the last word.

The performance was exceptional.
