Newly married Julia Elliston is ready to live a happy life
with her new husband. However, problems from her past
continue to resurface from Macy to her father, and it
seems
that she will never find any peace. As secrets unravel and
Macy continues his relentless pursuit of her, Julia will
have to fight with everything in her if she wants to stay
with her loving husband and away from the evils that would
destroy her.
PRICE OF PRIVILEGE is a quick-paced novel with a strong
voice. This is the third in a series, and having not read
the others, some parts are confusing. However, Jessica
Dotta
does an excellent job of keeping the reader mostly up to
date on everything, and Julia's first person narration
easily and smoothly sucks you in from the first chapter.
With Julia's honest narration guiding the story, the plot
points fall one after the other, leaving you nearly done
with the novel before you realize how long you've been
sitting there reading. As the plot points progress, Julia
and Edward's relationship develops beautifully. Newly
married (and during historical times), they are getting to
know each other in new ways and learning to adapt in
surprisingly intimate ways. They feel real and true, never
seeming like a fairy tale romance where everything is fine
but still brimming full of growing love and connection.
As much as I enjoy the characters and plot, some parts of
the story are a touch over dramatic. Sometimes I felt
myself
wanting to skim over the more repeated and occasionally
long
winded dramatic passages and dialogue, but this only
happened a handful of times. It didn't take away from my
overall enjoyment of the story.
For readers looking for a historical and religious
romance,
PRICE OF PRIVILEGE is the perfect choice. Though Jessica
Dotta does a marvelous job at background information, it's
clear the story would be more thoroughly enjoyed with
reading the previous novels. All in all, PRICE OF
PRIVILEGE
is an enjoyable and heart-pumping read!
Having finally discovered the truth of her birthright,
Julia
Elliston is determined to outwit Chance Macy at his own
game. Holding a secret he’d kill to keep, however, is
proving more difficult than she imagined.
Just when Julia thinks she’s managed to untangle herself
from Macy’s clutches, he changes tactics with a risky
ploy.
As the scandal of the century breaks loose, drawing rooms
all over London whisper what so far newspapers have not
dared to print: Macy’s lost bride is none other than Lord
Pierson’s daughter—and one of the most controversial cases
of marital law ever seen comes before Victorian courts.
Though Julia knows Macy’s version of events is another
masterful manipulation, public opinion is swaying in his
favor. Caught in a web of deceit and lies, armed only with
a
fledgling faith, Julia must face her fiercest trial yet.
