“Return to Exile” is a story full of history, drama and suspense. I wouldn’t consider it a happy love story though like some of the book comments I read. The ending left me completely hanging and ready to read book 3 so I can find out what happens to Dr. Lisbeth and her daughter.
It took me a couple of chapters to get involved with the story line because I wasn’t familiar with the characters backgrounds, their lives, and the time travel. I enjoyed reading about the historical time period and about the dramatic lives of Lisbeth and Cyprian. I would like to go back and read book number 1 so I can understand the characters. I liked reading this book and would recommend it, especially if you like historical fiction.
About the book:
Return to Exile
How far would you go to save the ones you love?
Six years ago, impossible circumstances forced Dr. Lisbeth Hastings to leave behind the love of her life, not just in another country, but in another time. Her work as a top-notch epidemiologist and parenting her little girl helps alleviate the pain, but at night when her exhausted head hits the pillow, images of her beloved Cyprian haunt her sleep.
Cyprian Thascius returns from political exile a broken man. He’s lost his faith, the love of his life, and his purpose. He attempts to move on, to face the danger that is looming over Carthage, but when Cyprian’s true love suddenly reappears, his heart becomes as imperiled as the fledgling church he seeks to save.
Have the years that kept Lisbeth and Cyprian apart created too wide a chasm to bridge? In the midst of a new epidemic and rising oppression, will their love be the most costly fatality? Filled with gripping action and raw emotion, this spell-binding adventure of star-crossed lovers captivates with every turn of the page in this electric continuation of The Carthage Chronicles.
