BLURB:
To
rescue her was to rescue his own soul.
On a cold Parisian night, Vicomte Aleksender de Lefèvre
forges an everlasting bond with a broken girl during her darkest hour, rescuing
her from a life of abuse and misery. Tormented by his own demons, he finds his
first bit of solace in sheltering little Sofia Rose.
But when Aleksender is drawn away by the Franco-Prussian
war, the seasons pass. And in that long year, Sofia matures into a stunning
young woman—a dancer with an understanding of devotion and redemption far
surpassing her age.
Alongside his closest friend, Aleksender returns home to
find that “home” is gone—replaced by revolution, bloodshed, betrayal—and a love
always out of reach. Scarred inside and out, he’s thrust into a world of
sensuality and violence—a world in which all his hours have now grown dark, and
where only Sofia might bring an end to the winter in his heart.
Inspired by the 1871 Paris Commune, The Frost of
Springtime is a poignant tale of revolution, redemption, and the healing
power of love.
REVIEW:
The Frost of Springtime is one of those epic love stories that doesn't let you go. This is more than one romance, it's the kind of love that changes people, that makes the reader wish they lived through something like that as well.
I'm a huge fan of taboo love, and the love affair between Alex and Sofia is nothing if not taboo. I loved it, from their smaller interactions to their more passionate scenes.
Then there's also the setting, France in the late 1800s. The setting is inspiring, and the descriptions are great. Like I mentioned, it's more than a love story - the political undercurrent of France in that era is almost equally important. A great book.
