    A suspenseful plot with lovely romance

    4 12 stars. \\r\\nThis author seems to always write books about intelligent characters with stories which teach the readers about significant historical events. It is fascinating. This book is no different. Readers learn about aspects of the history of reporting, newspapers, telegrams, political events, mental institutions, family disputes, court cases, underground systems, indoor plumbing and more. In the midst of this information is a fun, playful and increasingly undeniable romance. There is a bit of a love triangle in the plot with money and duty calling the shots. God's role in our happiness and peace is highlighted and compared to bitterness and greed. Overall it is a book I will read again and one I happily recommend.

    Intrigue

    Fun watching a romance unfold in such a quirky way and against the backdrop of so much intrigue (a little on both sides).

    Excellent Historical Romance

    I am a big fan of Elizabeth Camden's novels. \\r\\n\\r\\nShe has a unique ability to find lesser-known historical events or situations, and build a novel around them. A Dangerous Legacy includes the politcal background to the buiding of the first Panama Canal, PTSD, and the invention of the plumbing valve which enables us to have water pressure in multi-storey buildings. It also includes the slightly more familiar telegraph operators, and the necessity for British peers to marry American heiresses to shore up their crumbling estates. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nC willing to do the right thing even at a personal cost to himself. He's British through and through, almost the perfect gentleman. And Lucy was my favorite type of heroine-intelligent, independent, and hard-working. They made a great couple. I loved their conversations and banter, and wanted them to be together. It was r good to see their romance build bit by bit as they got to know each other. \\r\\n\\r\\nA Dangerous Legacy had more suspense than I was expecting, but I'm a romantic suspense fan so that worked for me! It certainly made the novel hard to put down. \\r\\n\\r\\nRecommended for fans of Deeanne Gist. A Dangerous Legacy had a few time-appropriate nods to Christianity, but the faith aspect wasn't even a minor plot point. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Bethany House and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
