Review: A Portrait of Loyalty by Roseanna M. White

About the book:

He sees patterns in what she deems chaos.

She sees beauty in a world he thought destroyed.

Zivon Marin was one of Russia's top cryptographers until the October Revolution tore apart his world. Forced to flee to England after speaking out against Lenin, Zivon is driven by a growing anger and determined to offer his services to the Brits. But never far from his mind is his brother, whom Zivon fears died in the train crash that separated them.

Lily Blackwell sees the world best through the lens of a camera and possesses unsurpassed skill when it comes to retouching and re-creating photographs. With her father's connections in propaganda, she's recruited to the intelligence division, even though her mother would disapprove if she ever found out.

After Captain Blackwell invites Zivon to dinner one evening, a friendship blooms between him and Lily that soon takes over their hearts. But both have secrets they're unwilling to share, and neither is entirely sure they can trust the other. When Zivon's loyalties are called into question, proving him honest is about more than one couple's future dreams--it becomes a matter of ending the war.

My thoughts:

A Portrait of Loyalty is the final book in The Codebreakers series and it was such a great conclusion. I've been a fan of Roseanna M. White's novels for years now and always look forward to her new releases. This one did not disappoint. :D

I loved the characters and how realistic the story felt...even if things didn't always go as I expected. Lily was probably my favorite character and I especially loved her passion for photography. 

All in all, A Portrait of Loyalty was a fantastic story and one that I'm sure most historical fiction lovers will enjoy. I recommend it!
