The Silk Romance is a delightful story! The characters are rich and their relationship complex, reminding us that things are not always as they seem. Sophie Challoner is a sympathetic heroine who puts family and duty ahead of her own desires, a modern day Cinderella of sorts. It was a real revelation to see the flamboyant Jean-Luc Olivier through Sophie’s eyes, as she discovers there is way more depth to him than the playboy image he earned when he was younger. As their romance unfolds, both Sophie and Jean-Luc must learn to trust. I particularly enjoyed the romantic setting of Lyon, France, and the insights into the old silk industry there. Reading about the vibrant colors and soft textures of glorious silk was a real treat. This is a beautiful love story that deepens with each turn of the page. I received a free eBook in return for an honest review. This is the second novel I've read by Helena Fairfax and I highly recommend it.
