After reading No Resting Place and starting my next book (another deep nonfiction) I decided I needed a quick, fun read and From Cairo, With Love by Nancy Campbell Allen was the perfect escape!
This historical romance novella is from the Timeless Romance Singles line (a branch of the Timeless Romance Anthologies). Even though this is a historial romance I found it to be less historical and more romance but nontheless it was a cute story and one that I couldn't put down.
Valentine Baker is a spinster who is perfectly content with being single but she longs for more adventure in her life. She hears about a trip to Venice through her cousin and is soon on a ship bound for Cairo with Contessa, her traveling companion. Mr. Maxwell, the gentleman that is accompanying the women to Cairo, quickly catches Valentine's eye and before either of them realize they are mixed up in a crazy storm and shennanigans aboard the ship that continuouly push them closer together.
Some of the storyline is predictable but there are definitely some suprises that will keep you turning from page to page, quickly reading to see what happens next. I read the last page with a smile on my face, glad that love once again prevailed, and happy that I chose this book.
If you want a sweet, quick read with a little mistery, suspense, and love then this is the book for you.
Be sure to check out more books from the Timeless Romance Anthology series and from Nancy Campbell Allen.
I received a copy of this e-book from Mirror Press in exchange for an honest review
