A Sexy Victorian Era Historical Romance ___ Praise for His Parisian Mistress : Tracy is a wonderful writer that loves a complicated story. While her stories are true to the Victorian era, she brings so much more to her books. The characters are full of emotion and suck you right into the story. I love how Tracy pulls the reader into the story and we feel we have a front row seat to the action, and feel all the ups and downs of the characters. One thing is for sure, this is not your usual Victorian romance. This story has a great, and at least for me, and unexpected plot. Tracy has a knack for pulling you into a story. Without spoilers, there was one scene where the tension was so palpable, I actually had sweat forming on my brow and I smelled dust in the air. As always, the story went in directions I never saw coming, having a resolution that was quite well done. The plot is wonderful and complex, with lots of the details that make these books so fantastic to read. This is a compelling start to a series covering a new generation of an extended family created by the author. I am not ashamed to say parts of the book did bring me to tears. Tracy will forever write the best books. Tearful. Suspenseful. Romantic. This is a really satisfying read! There's plenty of substance to the plot and an interesting storyline with intrigue, action and suspense as well as the delicious romantic relationship developed between the two main characters.
