The family saga of Mauro, his wife and their friends in 17th century Venetian ruled Croatia continues. On the surface it is all iddylic but danger seems to be lurking.

It is a bit slow read (author had been streamlining part 1 so maybe this one in a later version as well) that has the addiction of a soap opera.

Sweep of history in 1600's Croatia continues as events unfold with Resi and her new husband, Baron Mauro Baric .Second part of the trilogy has the reader turning pages to finish this tale.

Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

This is book two of a three book series. The story continues in this installment. Again, the story is well-written and complex but moves at a very nice pace. The characters are interesting and engaging. There is more drama and emotion along with love. I am loving this series.
