The Road to Silver Plume by Tamara Allen
4.0
It took me a while to get into this at first. Full disclosure: I went into this expecting a slow burn historical romance and while, yes it has a romance, the book itself is more of a historical crime and mystery. Which I still very much enjoyed because mysteries are my genre!! ( Lets just all agree to ignore the fact that I would have known this had I read the blurb properly!)
The book itself was very character driven rather than plot driven which made it appear slower. I didn’t mind; I love learning about characters and watching them grow. Darrow stole my heart and his GROWTH. I love him!! Emlyn I also adored, however he’s still rather a mystery and I hope we learn more of his life and past in the sequel to come!
The overall plot was quite entertaining once it got going. It was slow in the beginning but got faster up around the middle and I found I couldn’t put the book down.
The little romance this book has would be considered slow burn, enemies to lovers but it wasn’t very prominent. It seemed be beginning and the book ended. I for one, loved it like that. It was subtle and sweet. It makes me even more excited for the sequel and I’m never really a fan of romances that take over the plot anyway.
Overall: I good solid book with a HFN ending that I can’t wait to see continuing. I’ve never read anything by this author before but I see from review’s - slow burn romance and historical fiction seems to be her forte and considering how much I enjoy both, I shall defiantly be checking out more of her books.
