The Frost of Springtime

To rescue her was to rescue his own soul. On a cold Parisian night, Vicomte Aleksender de Lefevre forges an everlasting bond with a broken girl during her darkest hour, saving her from a life of abuse and misery. Tormented by his own demons, he finds his first bit of solace in sheltering little Sofia Rose. But when Aleksender is drawn away by the Franco-Prussian war, the seasons pass. And in that long year, his Sofia matures into a stunning young woman-a dancer with an understanding of devotion and redemption far surpassing her age. Alongside his closest friend, Aleksender returns home to find that "home" is gone, replaced by revolution, bloodshed, betrayal-and a love always out of reach. Scarred both inside and out, he's thrust into a world of sensuality and violence-a world in which all his hours have now grown dark, where only Sofia might bring an end to the winter in his heart. "This book actually showed us how love and tragic go hand in hand and that love can actually be more powerful than any other emotion. We loved the cover, we loved the writing style, and we adored the characters. We fell in love, really hard." - Diva's Book Blog… (mais)

This was an interesting story. I honestly have not read any story dealing with the Paris Commune.

I admit this was a little hard for me to get into, nothing wrong with the story, plot, editing or anything. It was very well written it was just me not the book.

Starting out a mother is trying to sell her daughter in a brothel. Looking back I wonder how many times something similar happened. A time when no law or government agency was around to protect a child and a parent was allowed to discipline a child however they pleased. Something like this really makes a person question how ruthless our ancestors were.

I could say I had high hopes for this book and it let me down but that would be wrong. I feel I let the book down by not fully enjoying everything.

I do recommend this book to romance readers.

The bunnies and I give this book carrots.

This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
Romantic, historical novel about a forbidden love! What a wonderfully written book, I couldn't put it down. The beautiful connection between Alek and Sofia and the dramas that unfolded throughout the story, kept me absolutely captivated. I loved reading this book and would happily read another by Rachel L. Demeter.

Wow!!!! I was blown away by this beautifully written story of Alek and Sofia's forbidden love!!!! Besides having two riveting main characters, the story was full of interesting secondary characters and rich in history. I enjoyed every minute of this intricately detailed and epic love story unlike anything I've ever read before. This is by far the best historical novel I have read this year.....I can't believe this is a debut novel!! Rachel L. Demeter has set the bar high....I can't wait to read more from this new very talented author. ( )

From Chapter Twenty-One: 

“I sleep but my heart is awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking:
‘Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My
head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.’
My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began
to pound for him. I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands
dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles
of the bolt. I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was
gone. And my heart sank at his departure.”

— Song of Songs 5

Paris could have been mistaken for a ghost town. The night was black, oily and slick as ink. Swollen clouds spread out to the horizon, sealing the heavens off from earth. The only noise for miles around was the wind’s mournful cry. It echoed, penetrating the emptiness with an eerie howl.
