Alone in the city after losing her brother, Sicilian immigrant Giuliana Russo starts working for the Winthrops as a maid. Despite their different social status, Kate and Giuliana become friends, much to the dismay of Kate's parents.

As the connection between the two women grows, a devastating earthquake hits San Francisco and ignites fires that sweep through the city for three days and nights.

Great story

I LOVED this book. I enjoyed that an actual historic event provided the backdrop for this story. It was nerve wracking, sweet, it made me gasp and cheer. I just flat out enjoyed it.

What a courageous story

Loved this book from the beginning until the end. Kate is one brave and sassy woman. Gulliana was irresistibly loyal and has a quiet strength that I adored. Ms. Cook narration was flawless!!! Especially the accents!

P.S. There is an epic Titanic scene,can you find it?

Going into this one blind is a trip.

I did not read the plot summery. I could tell from the cover it was a period piece, but I wasn't expecting historical events.. and I guess I learned a lot about history in a way.

That aside, this story brought me back to my favorite series by this author. It was very detailed and informative and a bit unbelievable given the amount of things that happen to the main characters. But it was good and the scenes were diverse and fun to hear play out. I would completely recommend this one to anyone who's interested.

Madonna

So enjoyed the main relationship
The similar tragedy shared
Felt so like I was there in SF
So much drama
And loved the doctor

Great historical story

I enjoyed learning about San Francisco during that era, the challenges of women during those times, the challenges a class and perception. Highly recommend.

Throughly enjoyed every moment!

Such a beautiful story, with a captivating glimpse of what this era would entail for 2 women falling in love. This is the first historical romance, and it definitely did not disappoint. Jae might have helped me find my new favorite genre, and the narrator was impeccable.

Beautiful!

I read a review of this book and it gave it only 2 stars because it didn’t have sex in it. If you want sex in every romance you read or listen to then read/ listen to erotica. This is one of my favorite Books if Jae’s. Samantha Cook brought some of my favorite characters to life. I really like historical romances and this is at the top of my list. It didn’t need a sex scene to make it sensual, sexy and beautiful. Well written and you could actually feel the fear and adversity the characters had to overcome. I look forward to a story about Lucy Hamilton Sharpe. Maybe with a guest spot for Kate and Giuliana! Thanks Jae for putting this on audio. Well done!

Captivating Story

I liked that it different from most books I have read. And ofcos Dr Sharpe is a rock star.

A gripping story from page 1

Exciting, adventurous and so sweet! I could not stop listening. Such a great story and great audio version!

Definitely more than one fire in this book

As usual, Jae knocked it outta the park with this one. She really knows how to pull the reader in and build the story through such compelling characters. Had me feeling like I was in the fire with them lol.
Slow burn perfection 🔥🔥
