As the Russian Revolution rages, Princess Svetlana, her sister, and her mother flee to Paris for safety. They land, however, in dire straits – existing in the basement of a dank Parisian church with other, common refugees. When Svetlana’s mother extravagance and gambling brings Svetlana to the attention of a Russian gangster, Svetlana agrees to a marriage of convenience to a very handsome Scottish duke – Edwynn MacCallan. Will the two be able to find solace – even love – with each other, or will misunderstandings and evil keep them apart?
I was expecting historical fiction, which I kind of did in the historical setting, but mostly I got a slow build-up to a romance (not a descriptive romance book). It was a lot of work for a mild payoff. Should you have a need for a proper romance, though, The Ice Swan is a good call. The audiobook was provided by Libro.fm in exchange for an honest review.
