Paint and Nectar by Ashley Clark - 5 Stars!

 

Paint and Nectar by Ashley Clark

This is a complicated sweet romance that switches between 1929 and present day.  This book has some mystery and history, and it definitely held my interest all the way to the end.  It had many twists and turns and I was happy with the ending.  I can’t say that about everything I read.

 

I received this book in the kindle format from NetGalley.com and my opinions are my own freely given.  They were not required.  I gave this book 4 stars.  #PaintandNectar #AshleyClark #NetGalley

 

Description from NetGalley:

In 1929, a spark forms between talented watercolorist Eliza and William, a charming young man who has been hired to forge her popular paintings. Her aunt makes it clear Eliza should stay away from him because of a feud between their families over missing heirloom silver. But the source of the rivalry was long ago, and as the two get to know each other, they fall in love. William regrets the job that desperation led him to take and their families' ongoing bitterness, but setting things right comes at a cost.

In present-day Charleston, Lucy Legare has just inherited an old house from a mysterious benefactor, along with all the secrets it holds, including an old silver heirloom. Declan Pinckney is determined to buy the house for his family's development company. But as Lucy uncovers secrets about the house, garden, and silver, she becomes more determined than ever to preserve the historic Charleston property, not only for history's sake but also for her own.
