Description

Book 1 of the Fortune series.

Eden Fitzgerald is no swooning maiden waiting for the man of her dreams to come along. Alex Banning, a decorated naval officer, has vital duties to perform. Although he and Eden shared a strange adventure when young, he cannot get involved with her now. But irresistible forces draw them together again and again, their attraction culminating in a blazing night of passion.

For one shining moment Eden is in love! But her infatuation swiftly becomes contempt when she discovers Alex is part of the British organization that considers the men of her family criminals and traitors. When her father and brother are arrested and imprisoned, she vows to do whatever is necessary to have them set free. Pregnant with Alex's child, she enters into a marriage of convenience with the scion of a wealthy Canadian family. 

When all legal methods of freeing her father fail, Eden learns she can arrange an escape for him. Needing money, she turns to highway robbery and becomes the legendary Giselle, a beautiful thief who preys on the wealthy. Soon the hunt is on for the alluring criminal--agents of the Crown, Montreal police, a dangerous smuggler she cheated, a brother-in-law she betrayed--who will capture her?

Eden is a strong Irish woman who shows the lengths family will go to for each other. After her father and brother are sent to prison for smuggling she will do anything in her power to free them. Set in the 1800's, Eden is a dazzling example of an independent, brave woman daring to defy societal standards.

Cat Dubie is an incredibly talented writer. This book had me doing nothing else for the entire day as I kept reading just to find out what would happen next. Her descriptive language did wonders for setting scenes and putting images in my mind. I was very appreciative to the attention she paid not only to the dialect of characters in their dialogue, but also to the vocabulary and behavior of the time period, as well as the usage of the Irish language (Gaeilge) toward the beginning of the novel. The ending left me eager to see what happens next as Dubie promises a continuation to Eden's story.

This book was a unique mix, it felt like an Irish Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre meets a not-so-trashy romance, but with an unforgiving and unmovable female protagonist who will find her own way if the men around her won't help.

This book was truly a pleasure. Thank you to Cat Dubie, BooksGoSocial, andNetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
