Elizabeth
Camden's Empire State series
focused on the issue of providing clean water to our citizens. The
Spice King focuses on the safety
of the food products we find our our grocers' shelves. I love that
the books I have read by this author include a romantic story, but
that the main focus of the tales have had deeper social and spiritual
themes.
Annabelle
Larkin moved to our nation's capitol to accompany her sister who had
been blinded by meningitis and was seeking her purpose by
volunteering in the reading room for the blind in the Library of
Congress. A botanist, Annabelle had been blessed to find a temporary
job as a botanical specialist at the Smithsonian Institute, but she
longed to prove herself worthy of a permanent position. To do so she
must convince Gray Delacroix, owner of the Delacroix Global Spice
Company, to part with cuttings from a very rare orchid that he was
rumored to possess. Gray was no fan of the Smithsonian nor many
government agencies either, and he was not about to partner with any
of them. How much might his mind be changed when he first encounters
Annabelle, in his own home nonetheless?
I
highly recommend The Spice King
and this author. I am grateful to have received a copy of this book
from Bethany House via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I
was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and I received
no monetary compensation.
