Review: Paint and Nectar

Paint and Nectar by Ashley Clark
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

I enjoyed this second book in the series a bit more than the first. The secrets characters were hiding which the reader could see before it was revealed added to the enjoyment of the story.

I also enjoyed the enemies to love plot - it is one of my favourites.

In both threads the message came across strongly to find your own way and stand strong for what you believe versus having family and other people determine the decisions you make.

About the book:

In 1929, a spark forms between talented watercolorist Eliza and William, a charming young man who has been hired to forge her popular paintings. Her aunt makes it clear Eliza should stay away from him because of a feud between their families over missing heirloom silver. But the source of the rivalry was long ago, and as the two get to know each other, they fall in love. William regrets the job that desperation led him to take and their families' ongoing bitterness, but setting things right comes at a cost.

In present-day Charleston, Lucy Legare has just inherited an old house from a mysterious benefactor, along with all the secrets it holds, including an old silver heirloom. Declan Pinckney is determined to buy the house for his family's development company. But as Lucy uncovers secrets about the house, garden, and silver, she becomes more determined than ever to preserve the historic Charleston property, not only for history's sake but also for her own.
