Captain Hayden St J Night in Eden, by Candice Proctor Five full stars An exceptional book one of the best I ve read so far this year A realistic look at life in 1808, New South Wales and the struggle to carve out a life in a strange, forbidding land Within just a few pages I was enthralled with the story The harsh brutality of the beautiful Australian setting is not just a wallpaper backdrop, but actually a vital ingredient to the flavor of this book The Government House, Parramatta, Australia One of the things I loved about it is that our heroine, Bryony, is at first truly afraid of our hero, Hayden She s not swooning with lust and sighing over his masculinity like so many romance novel heroines do when they are in close proximity of the hero As a wom I added this book to my TBRthan a year ago, when I saw it recommended in a book group using keywords like emotional, angsty, unique, etc But sadly, TBRs being what they are, this fell way down the list and without my library owning it, I likely never would have read it Then suddenly I devoured Sebastian St Cyr and soon discovered this was a pen name for C.
