THE LADY IN THE COPPERGATE TOWER Steampunk Proper Romances, Book 3

Elizabeth Knowelden narrates a chaste romance that owes as much to Dracula as it does to Rapunzel. When Hazel Hughes learns that she has a twin sister in need of her help, she immediately agrees to travel to Romania with the mysterious Count Petrescu. Sam MacInnes is worried about Hazel's safety and insists on accompanying her on the journey. Knowelden's portrayal of Hazel reflects the young woman's growing confidence in herself and her abilities but always maintains a tinge of self-doubt. Sam is slow to acknowledge the true depth of his feelings for Hazel, but when he finally does, Knowelden makes his revelation shine brightly. While Count Petrescu's accent may not be authentically Romanian, Knowelden maintains it and a menacing tone faithfully. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
