Book Review: Revolution of Hearts

 Don't you love the cover on this book? I was really excited to read it.

This book starts out with action and intrigue as Marcel de Prideaux, a political activist is murdered and his sister Dacia is accused of the crime. I was turning pages so fast to see what happens! She is desperate to escape and finally makes it to England where she must hide among the servant class. This is a big change for her, as she is a high-born lady and not used to serving or working in any form. The English landowner she works for is aware of some of her circumstances, but in order to protect him, she keeps her secrets close---until danger finds her once again.

I really enjoyed this historical romance and how Dacia really finds herself in the midst of such chaos. She is stronger than she thinks, even in the face of impossible odds. I did think it was going to be more of an action and intrigue story, but the bulk of it is about Dacia and her new life as a servant. We have multiple points of view, which was confusing for me at times because of the intricate backstories those introduced, but it all wrapped up in a satisfying way. Our hero Richard was daring and sweet and I was really rooting for him to get his happily-ever-after. Definitely worth the read!

Here's the back copy:

Born to a life of wealth and status, Mademoiselle Dacia de Prideaux is every inch the glittering aristocrat. However, her brother, Marcel, is an outspoken political activist, and with the country on the verge of the French Revolution, he has made dangerous enemies—one of whom takes Marcel’s life. When Dacia is accused of the unthinkable crime, she finds refuge with her dear friend Marguerite St. Just, who believes there is one man with the means to help: the wealthy fop, Sir Percy Blakeney.

Intent on rescuing people from perilous circumstances, Richard Harris, wealthy English landowner and member of Sir Percy’s league of gentleman heroes, has been assigned to protect Dacia. Hiding her in plain sight and masquerading her as a housemaid at his estate, Richard soon comes to trust the beautiful woman under his protection, and their feelings for each other grow stronger each day. But Marcel’s murderer will never stop pursuing Dacia, and she will need both her cunning and Richard’s connection to the legendary Scarlet Pimpernel to survive.
