Secrets of the Chocolate House
by Paula Brackston
I was provided with an ARC of this title by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Xanthe is a time spinner on a quest. She needs to right the wrongs of the past and save a man from being mistakenly hung for treason. A man she is convinced will always hold her heart.
Xanthe's trips back and forth between her time and the seventeenth century are clandestine and perilous. In this second installment in the series that began with The Little Shop of Found Things, Xanthe walks a tightrope to keep everyone guessing. She is attracted to two very different men in two very different times, is being stalked and pressures by a master manipulator and villain, and learning a new trade.
This was an intriguing glimpse into the political unrest of seventeenth century England and the intellectual wrangling that engulfed places such as chocolate houses.
Recommended if you enjoy complex plots, conflicted characters and diverse eras.
