Words Spoken True

Ann H. Gabhart

One woman stands ready to defend her newspaper . . . even if it means losing out on love Adriane Darcy was practically raised in her father’s newspaper offices. With ink in her veins, she can’t imagine life without the clatter of the press and the push to be first to write the news that matters. Their Tribune is the leading paper in Louisville in 1855.When Blake Garrett, a brash young editor from the North with a controversial new style of reporting, takes over a competing newspaper, the battle for readers gets fierce. After Adriane and Blake meet at a benefit, their surprising mutual attraction is hard to ignore. Still, Blake is the enemy, and Adriane is engaged to the son of a powerful businessman who holds the keys to the Tribune‘s future. Blake will stop at almost nothing to get the story–and the girl.

Set against the volatile backdrop of political and civil unrest in 1850s Louisville, this exciting story of love and loyalty will hold you in its grip until the very last page.

What a jerk! Actually, at first glance it appears that there’s a couple jerks here. Adriane doesn’t seem to make terrific choices in men.

I think mostly she wouldn’t mind not having to bother with men in her life. Just let her write and smell the ink as the newspaper is put to bed.

But life is never quite what we want it to be. In 1855, a woman was expected to get married and let the men run the businesses and the world – especially if it brought moey with it to help out the father.

So now Adriane is stuck with Stanley but drawn more and more to Blake, the enemy who is running a completive newspaper.

This isn’t just a sweet little romantic triangle her. We’ve got mystery, intrigue, danger, riots and a serial killer running loose. Not only do we wonder who gets the girl, but also whether she will live that long.
