Storm and Silence (Storm and Silence Saga) Paperback – March 18, 2016

This is one of the best books, the series is amazing.It is well written and has historical facts the are accurate, it enhances the experience of reading this book.Thier is a mastermind, his characters bring you moment of relatability while providing comedy like no other. I’m a fan of the FMC, and have a love-hate with the MMC.Definitely a book to read!

This book is a true slow burn romance. Maybe too slow for some people. Lilly Linton can be perceived as juvenile and immature to some readers, however to me I deeply enjoyed her personality. At times her character can feel a bit inauthentic and forced, and the feminist in her has its moments where it just feels so forced. I can appreciate the implementation of her personality and values, but at times it just felt like overkill. However nothing to where it killed the enjoyment of the book. The first like 250 pages of the book is extremely slow, with the insane emphasis on her sister Ella’s romance. I felt like all the detail and description was unnecessary. That being said though, there was moments here and there of the brewing romance between Lilly and Ambrose which kept me glued to the book wanting more of it. This story is truly remarkable, and it definitely takes some dedication to really get what you want out of it but to me, it was well worth the wait. If you don’t think you have the dedication for a slow burn romance, I really don’t recommend this to you. The enemies to lovers and the slow pacing of the book always kept me wanting more, and it is certainly one of the more realistic books I’ve read in terms of the pacing. I read this book in 2018 on Wattpad and it will always have a special place in my heart. Highly highly recommend.

This is a wonderful book that I could not put down. I loved the attention to historic details. I enjoyed the dynamic of the cool and calm hero vs the fiery, energetic heroine.

This book started out so slow, I read the first few chapters a few months ago, and didn’t pick it back up until now. But I sure am glad I did! So if you’re like me, and often get distracted, definitely try to read at least 25% before you give up on this book.Storm and Silence is the story of Lilly Linton, a young woman living in 19th-century London. She is a total feminist, and dresses in men’s clothes so she can vote in an election. On her way to the polling station, she helps Mr. Rikkard Ambrose avoid a bad purchasing deal, and he requests that he (Lilly dressed as a man) shows up at his office at 9am on Monday to be his new personal secretary. She shows up at the office dressed as a woman, and Mr Ambrose refuses to let a woman work for him, but recognizes that she is intelligent. He makes her put her men’s clothes back on, and is allowed to be his secretary as Mr. Linton. The story continues with Mr Ambrose and Mr Linton hunting for a stolen document, while both trying to deny that they might be starting to actually like each other.This story starts out pretty slow, which is indicative of the pacing of this 880 page book. It is slow; I found it similar to the Outlander series. Once you start to get into the true storyline of Mr Linton and Mr Ambrose’s working relationship, it is truly entertaining. I liked that each scene was long and well written, nothing ever feels rushed. However, it also made the romance aspect of this book feel more real and believable.I really liked the character of Lilly. She is hard headed, stubborn, witty, and insolent. She definitely does not act like the prim, proper and stuffy ladies of your typical historical romance novel. She was always cracking me up with her thoughts and speeches. Mr Ambrose isn’t too bad either. He tries to show no emotion, and is always described as “cold and calculating”, but every once in a while, we glimpse an emotional side to him which had me aching for more of Mr Ambrose.My only hang up with this wonderful book is that Lilly seems to be able to work for and go on adventures with Mr Ambrose all the time, and only seldomly gets caught or questioned about where she has been. Her web of lies gets bigger and bigger; partway through Book 2 I am still waiting for her to get found out! How much time can a girl spend at the park??If you’re looking for a historical romance, but you’re tired of the same old historical romances, give this book a shot. There’s a slow-burn romance, adventure, action, and witty banter. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!!

I love this book! Can’t wait to read the next one! It has a great plot and the banter between characters is fantastic!
