Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine – Review by Kayla Octaviano

Kissing the Kavalier by Annette Nauraine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Kissing the Kavalier” follows two sisters, Zdenka and Arabella, through the throes of society. Arabella needs to find a rich husband who she hopefully loves, or will grow to love, to save her family from their impending homelessness. Zdenka must help by dressing as a boy to escort her sister to all the events of the season. Along the way, these women run into a man named Matteo, a soldier who has been affected by the war, just as many soldiers seem to be. He’s an honorable man that doubts the honor of his past. As friendships build, lovers fall and all is lost. But can it be found? Together, these characters figure out what love can make you do, how far it will take you, and how it is needed for forgiveness. This story is full of love and pain that finds an equal balance, but at what risk? Soldiers are highlighted in this book, but as are women’s rights and independence. Read this book if you love romance and the pain people must go through to get it.
