My Thoughts
What a swoon-worthy hero! Samuel Thatcher is one for the books! Protective, handsome, brave, a fighter, and passionate! Full of adventure and dangers, Michelle Griep leaves you longing for the next page.
I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Samuel and Abby unfold. They begin as strangers thrust together by fate and forced to rely on each other throughout their journey. Witnessing the spark of attraction and the love that begins to unfold is so sweet...and frustrating...Because, let's not forget the plans that they have laid out for their own lives. But fate, and God, give them the push they need and the ending is more than I could have hoped for.
A beautiful story. A thrilling adventure. A captivating book. Get your hands on this Bow Street Runner book.
