About the Book

Words Spoken True

Adriane Darcy was practically raised in her father's newspaper offices. 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. Then Blake Garrett, a brash young editor from the North with a controversial new style of reporting, takes over failing competitor the Herald, and the battle for readers gets fierce.

When Adriane and Blake meet at a benefit tea, 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. Can he do both before it's too late?

Set against the volatile backdrop of political and civil unrest in 1850s Louisville, this exciting story of love and loyalty will hold readers in its grip until the very last page. Bestselling author Ann H. Gabhart once again delivers an enthralling and enduring tale for her loyal and ever-expanding fan base.

From the first page to the final words, this book was thrilling and fast-paced. I couldn't put it down and I stayed up all night to finish it. Kudos to Gabhart who created a fiery, exciting heroine in Adriane Darcy that kept your interest and won your heart. Blake Garrett as the hero was not only handsome and dashing, but had a tenderness every woman wishes for in her own life. The story was well written and the plot never lagged for a moment. The supporting characters were all well written and interesting, so much so that they appeared to truly "live and breathe" within the pages. The Christian aspect was never overdone and complimented the story as well as raising it to a level worth sharing with friends and family in its messaging. A must-read for the mystery, romance and historical reading fan. Well done!

I couldn't out this book down the minute I began to read. Kudos to Gabhart for creating a strong and delightful heroine in Adriane Darcy and a handsome, dashing and loving hero in Blake Garrett so interesting that you simply wish he would walk into your life. The storyline was fast-paced and thrilling and the supporting characters were well written. Not a dull spot to be found and I was truly sad when the story concluded. The spirtuality within the pages complimented the story and lifted it to a wonderful level in Christian fiction. Well done! A must-read for those who enjoy not only mysteries but turn of the century stories.
