My Review
Though this is the second book in a series it can very easily be read as a stand alone.
I have read all of the author’s books, I won’t miss one but this book takes historical fiction to a whole new level.
I love her books for how well researched they are and give me as many details as possible please.
There are historical books that are great that are similar to many others out there. This author’s books shine in their own way because they have original story lines not the same ones many other authors use.
How about topics of Trans-Siberian Railway,the launching of prerecorded wax discs, and a woman who is the lead analyst for her father’s New York banking empire and manages their investment in the Trans-Siberian Railway. Now you have to remember this is during the early 1900’s when women were not easily accepted in these fields and expected to stay home and let the men take care of it all.
Very strong character development. I enjoyed reading history about Russia and about their culture.
Very interesting book. I look forward to the next book as this one is incredible!

GoodReads Synopsis
Natalia Blackstone is a rarity in Gilded Age America. As a trusted analyst for her father’s bank, she is helping finance the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway. From her office in New York City, Natalia relies on a charming Russian aristocrat to oversee the construction of the railroad on the other side of the world.
But while overseeing the work, Count Dimitri Sokolov witnesses the deadly result of the Russian Monarchy’s will to see the railway built. To silence him, the state has stripped Dimitri of his title, his lands, and his freedom . . . but Dimitri has a key asset the czar knows nothing about: his deep and abiding friendship with Natalia Blackstone.
From the steppes of Russia to the corridors of power in Washington, Natalia and Dimitri will fight against all odds to save the railroad and share the truth of what happened, but how can their newfound love survive the ordeal?
