4 of 5 stars
Even though
I haven't read any of the first 3 books in the series, it did not take away the
enjoyment of reading "Restless in Pink." Perhaps I would have
understood the characters and family relations better, but the book mostly centered
around Claudia Shaw, the wild child, of the family know as the
"Emperors." Dominic St. Just is adjusting to life after leaving the
army although he’s still doing some clandestine activities for the Crown. If
Dominic thought he'd met his match on the battlefield, he was sorely mistaken when
he meets Claudia. When the woman wants something, there is no stopping her.
Ms.
Connolly does a superb job of fleshing out both Caroline and Dominic and their
attraction to one another. I especially loved how independent and fearless
Caroline is. Throw in intrigue, betrayal and personal attacks and the
unsettling English times come to life. The history lesson surrounding the Young
Pretender was presented without a heavy hand as she kept Caroline and Dominic
central to the story. My only slight criticism besides a few typos was there
there were a lot of minor characters to keep straight. I thoroughly enjoyed
this story and look forward to reading the other books in the series.
Recommended.
