It is hard to know how to put into words just how wonderful a book this is. Ginger Myrick has created a perfect book of historical romance. That is the genre yet typing that makes it sound trivial. Trivial is something this book is not. There is history perfectly related through the wonderful characters Ginger has imagined and brought to life. The way each of their stories are told took me back to my own life experiences and reignited desires, fond memories, sad times and how overwhelming our own emotions can be. This book made me feel so many emotions and I was willing the characters to experience the lives they deserved. There is sadness in this book but it is necessary and makes the story all the more of an emotional ride. It truly reflects the ups and downs of life and shows how, whoever we are and in whatever period of time, we feel the same emotions and desire the same things.This is a book that deserves to be made into a film or television series because it is too fantastic not to be shared. I defy anyone not to love this book or at least aspects of this book because the effort that has been put into the research and writing of it is very clear and deserves to be acknowledged and enjoyed.I am so very glad I read El Rey because it had quite a profound effect on me and left me wanting more of this amazing author's works to be on hand so the joy could be continued. Not only does this book provide a story that is difficult to stop reading but there is also bonus information at the end of the book to further explain the history of the eras in which the book was set. The illustration is also beautiful and well considered.I can honestly say that this is one of my most favourite books of all time. I expected it to take weeks to read because it is such a large book however I found myself lost in the stories of each and every character and somehow read it in a matter of days. A work of literary art. This is a must read book.
