An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole

4.0

I DEVOURED this in two days. I don't usually read romance but I had heard good things and this turned out to be so compelling. The two main characters have interesting backstories and the way they came together despite all the Civil War-era societal conventions is believable. Plus the spy/detective work they're doing is really absorbing. I loved how Malcolm became fully aware of all the ways he held privilege and power in their relationship, and I loved how strong Elle was. There are definitely some "sexytimes" in this book so if that makes you squeamish or blush be forewarned. I will most definitely be reading the others in this series.
