The Prince of Spies by Elizabeth Camden

 




Early 1900s Book 3 of the Hope and Glory series
I so love this series and am glad to see Luke's story unfold. There are two brothers and a sister, each with their own complexities, but they are close knit. Their company is above board, selling only the most pure items. The Delacroix are fought viciously by the Magruder family, who have cut corners and used additives to preserve their food items that no one would ever want if they knew. There isn't an FDA yet, which is what they are fighting about. This is somewhat of a Romeo and Juliet story since Luke and Marianne, from these opposite families in the feud meet by accident and begin a relationship. Fabulously told, just as the first three in the series. I had a very hard time putting it down!

Christmas at Whitefriars: A Novella by Elizabeth Camden


Completely engaging. This is a companion book A Dangerous Legacy. It's not necessary to read the other book, but it's great to recognize those friends in this book too. 1912 England. Mary lives at the family's old castle, and was tasked with the job of renovating it. A huge undertaking. She's in England, her brother and their investor are in America, so she's doing everything alone. Everett is an American, of a manufacturing family company that bought the castle for the image it lent to their food products. Products that interestingly enough were developed by Everett, who loves creating recipes as much as he loves business, and he is good at both. He was at first not understanding of Mary's position of how the castle was being run. The castle is dear to her heart. It's dear to Everett because of the fortune he's invested in it. It makes for a really really good story, and is hard to put down. Christian Historical
