Written on the Wind (The Blackstone Legacy 2): Book Review

Book By: Elizabeth Camden

What an enjoyable follow up to Carved in Stone, book 1 of The Blackstone Legacy series!

This story focuses on Natalia Blackstone and Count Dimitri Solokov. From book one; we learn that Natalia is in charge of a huge project in Russia for her father’s bank. Her contact is Dimitri. When Dimitri’s communication goes silent, Natalia is convinced something went wrong, but she has no way of finding out that information.

Dimitri witnessed an atrocity and refuses to take part in it, losing his title, lands and freedom in Russia. In a daring escape, Dimitri frees himself to get to the one person he knows will believe him. If only 4000 miles and an ocean didn’t separate them.

An excellent story of adventure, intrigue, politics, and relations between US/Russia at the turn of the century. There’s a lot of research that went into creating this story, and it definitely shows. From pieces of clothing to meals eaten on both sides of the ocean, Written on the Wind gives the reader a cultural experience one won’t soon forget.

This is a different kind of love story, though quite enjoyable at the same time. Our hero and heroine get some page time together, but for the majority of the story they’re on two different continents. I liked it.

Some favourite characters return, for a brief cameo, and others stick around to add some tension and colour to Natalia’s story.

This was a great story and I look forward to reading the third one in the series.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
