This weekend I read two books, the Spice King and it's sequel, A Gilded Lady. I literally read them both in two days. They are that good. I'll focus this review on the Spice King.
I really loved this book...namely because of Gray and Annabelle. The way these two interacted with each other had me, at times, seriously doubting if they would ever be able to mend ways enough to be together. As referenced in the book, they are like oil and vinegar. Gray is so serious and mature beyond his years. He is an unmoveable pillar of strength and a daunting man. Nothing about Gray suggests that he would ever change his mind or bend his will.....
Enter Annabelle Larkin. She is everything that is hope, positivity, and loyalty. The sun seems to follow her even on rainy days, and somehow her light breaks through the hard cracks of Gray's armor.
However, life smashes its way into their budding friendship and the story begins to twist and turn. The stakes grow high for Annabelle, her sister, and Gray and his family as circumstances spiral out of control. The Spice King will keep you turning pages as fast as you can read, and will have you reaching for its sequel, Gilded Lady, as soon as you turn the last page.
Thank-you to Graf Martin Communications and to Baker Publishing House for a copy of this novel to review.

Back Cover: Gray Delacroix has dedicated his life to building an acclaimed global spice empire, but it has come at a cost. Resolved to salvage his family before they spiral out of control, he returns to his ancestral home for good after years of traveling the world.
As a junior botanist for the Smithsonian, Annabelle Larkin has been charged with the impossible task of gaining access to the notoriously private Delacroix plant collection. If she fails, she will be out of a job and the family farm in Kansas will go under. She has no idea that in gaining entrance to the Delacroix world, she will unwittingly step into a web of dangerous political intrigue far beyond her experience.
Unable to deny her attraction to the reclusive business tycoon, Annabelle will be forced to choose between her heart and loyalty to her country. Can Gray and Annabelle find a way through the storm of scandal without destroying the family Gray is fighting to save?
