As a child, Lydia Pallas became all too familiar with uncertainty when it came to the future. Now, she's finally carved out a perfect life for herself--a life of stability and order with no changes, surprises, or chaos of any kind. She adores her apartment overlooking the bustling Boston Harbor, and her skill with languages has landed her a secure position as a translator for the U.S. Navy.
However, it is her talent for translation that brings her into contact with Alexander Banebridge, or "Bane," a man who equally attracts and aggravates her. When Bane hires Lydia to translate a seemingly innocuous collection of European documents, she hesitantly agrees, only to discover she is in over her head.
Just as Bane's charm begins to win her over, Lydia learns he is driven by a secret campaign against some of the most dangerous criminals on the East Coast, compelled by his faith and his past. Bane forbids any involvement on Lydia's part, but when the criminals gain the upper hand, it is Lydia on whom he must depend.
In The Lady of Bolton Hall, Bane was the Character you loved to hate, View Spoiler »….I can’t be the only one right??? Well when I found out that Bane got his own story I could’t wait to read it!! It took a few months but I ended up getting a copy on audio and yay I could read it while I Worked. You don’t know how excited I was!
I loved meeting Lydia!! She’s amazing but stilled flawed. cause we all know an unflawed character would not make for a very good story.
I was drawn in by this book immediately. Some books start off slow and it takes a couple chapters to really get into it, but no this one!! there was an adventure of sorts straight away. The whole story really just keeps you on your toes!
And that cover!!! How amazing is that cover??? If I hadn’t already wanted to read this book that cover would have made me want to check it out!
