Roses in Red Wax by Louise Mayberry
4.0
What a wonderful debut! Beautifully written with romance, history, and the growth and change of two individuals-one lost in the cloud of grief and one longing to be himself while becoming more aware of the power he holds to influence the lives of many.
As an added bonus there was an epistolary period between Percy and Jane that did a beautiful job of filling in the time that they were apart and creating a sense of anticipation of what was to come.
I especially loved Jane's knowledge of botany and Percy's love of music. Being a prolific romance reader I have seen similar plots and similar main characters, but never together and with their unique set of circumstances.
Well written and engaging, Roses in Red Wax would be a wonderful option for those interested in where to start reading historical romance.
