Casting Vows by Ariella Talix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nicolo Stark-James and Matty Remington are best friends and have been for years, Nico is one of 5, whereas Matty is an only child, but the main difference between the two of them is that where there is love surrounding Nicolo, it is the opposite for Matty. Just as Matty and Nicolo are spending more time together, Matty leaves and Nicolo must move on with his life, but he struggles to leave him behind.

Nicolo soon is granted an opportunity he cannot turn down and so he moves to attend a specialist school, however, it is the 1880’s in Los Angeles and it is a place where the Victorian values are strict and anything, or anyone not confirming to it is shunned, but as he progresses in his studies he meets an enigmatic young woman who is in a similar field, Eden Godwin by chance and as the two become acquainted, Nicolo realises she might be someone who can ease his heart.

Soon, the time of studying is over and careers are beckoning, so the conversation about family and love is high on the agenda, but Eden is shocked by some revelations and doesn’t know what to think, especially when she goes to visit her family and sees the contrast between the two. These revelations and conversations lead to danger, strong emotions and contradictions between duty and love, especially when Matty and Nicolo are reunited, will love conquer all, or will it be ripped apart before it can truly begin? This is a historical fiction which is full of emotion, unusual circumstances and some very steamy action in between which will keep you hooked all the way through.
