Cynthia Wright (1) (1954–)

This is the first Cynthia Wright book I've read, and it won't be the last, as it's written very well, with an entertaining storyline that doesn't go over the top, characters with strong personalities that don't go overboard (Megan's spirited and independent, without being spoiled and argumentative, while Lion's a bit rakish and cynical, but lowkey on the alpha arrogance), clever dialog and amusing situations, and some really poignant moments. There's also enough history thrown in to make you feel you're learning something (like all about George Washington's inauguration), as well as historic characters, like Washington, John and Sarah Jay, and Alexander Hamilton.

The only fault I found was toward the end, when the couple's reunion took place in a carriage on crowded street, rather than where it could have happened, at the Jays' house, which, at least to me, would have been more effective. There's also some criminal activity that seemed too hurriedly resolved, but maybe I'm nitpicking.

Suffice it to say, I doubt you'll be disappointed.… (más)
