THE TRUTH IN LIES

Nicole Vogel is a gifted millinery apprentice by day and a street revolutionary by night. She's scarred by her childhood in an orphanage and believes those who love you, leave you. She's determined to find financial independence and hopes to become part of the fabric of a more just society when she meets Luc Chatillon, the only son of a wealthy family that breeds thoroughbreds for the royal stables.

Luc, a man of passion for the truth, is a freethinker caught in the mores of his wealthy father’s world of arranged marriages and conventional mistresses. Luc finds himself trapped between duty and a longing for something more noble. Cynical about love and marriage, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Nicole's ferocity and purpose.

As their passion intensifies, secrets from Nicole’s past emerge, which could send her to the guillotine. She must decide if she can truly depend on Luc as dangerous intrigues threaten to destroy her and those she loves.

Vikki’s Musings

 

Thanks go to the publisher and the author for the electronic copy of Revolutionary Kiss by Mary Kate Summers. An exciting historical novel set in Paris in the days leading to the French Revolution. My opinions are my own, and nothing has influenced them.

 

Revolutionary Kiss is a well written historical novel with engaging characters and a suspenseful plot. The pacing pulled me in from the first page and kept me enthralled until the last. I have always enjoyed novels set during this period of history, and this novel definitely gave me an excellent view of this fascinating time.

 

Nicole Vogel is the heroine and is an amazing character. There are areas of her memory that are not available to her, and her dreams are plagued by unexplained pockets of events that she feels are key to finding out how she ended up in the orphanage. I loved how this all played out.

 

The romance between Nicole and Luc Chatillon appealed to me greatly. It’s clear they can find true love if they can work through the mysteries of Nicole’s past. His fierce determination to save her touched me, and I wanted them to find their way to an abiding love.

 

If you enjoy well written historical romances that offer more substance, then you will love Revolutionary Kissas much as I did. This is a new author to me, and I’m so glad I decided to read this book. Happy reading!
