red-hot CITY OF ASH by MEGAN CHANCE
I love historical fiction.
Megan Chance is an amazing author.
CITY OF ASH in the social set up of Seattle, WA during 1880.
CITY OF ASH....MEGAN CHANCE.jpg
It is about two independent and strong women.
Geneva(Ginny) is a heiress to Stratford Mining fascinated by arts, paintings, poetry and culture, married to a rogue Nathan Langley.
She brings scandal and shame to her family by posing nude to an artist.
Her rich father banishes her family to Seattle, WA.
Seattle is no match to Chicago, it is backward, Ginny finds her life boring and lonely.
The society aware of her Chicago scandal is unfriendly to her.
Ginny is in loveless marriage and a prisoner in her own home.
Beatrice is an actress with full of potential looking for spectacular opportunities and recognitions.
Then there is a charming, talented playwright Mr. Dewitt.
He charms both the women. Bea is in love with him.
Scheming and ambitious Nathan has earned Ginny's father's trust over the yrs.
Nathan is a scumbag, uses both of them.
Ginny and Beatrice narrate the story alternatively.
At the end the plot come together.
Then the famous Seattle fire.... the tragedy brings the girls closer, the rest of the story is about how both the girls over come their jealousy, work together to fight against Nathan and his roguish plans.
Well developed Characters , love triangles, underhanded schemes, erotic sexy scenes and mesmerizing plot.
Spellbinding. (except that F word usage, did they use the vulgar word in those days ?????? )
Megan chance has been my favorite author, I love her earlier works.
