Sara Adrien’s second book in her Infiltrating the Ton Series is just as riveting as the first (both can be read as stand-alones) with many of the same emotional tugs but with totally different reasons and elements. Both books delve into the hardships Jewish families faced trying to do business and socialize with the Ton of England. Several Jewish families felt it necessary to hide their Jewish lineage while attempting to infiltrate the Ton while other Jewish families felt those that did were traitors and unfaithful to their beliefs. This book revolves around the cousin of Fave Pearler from book one, Arnold Ehrlich. Arnold was taken in by Fave’s family when he was 4 after his parents died and has been raised like a son. His family has chosen to hide their Jewish lineage to infiltrate the Ton in order to further their jewelry business. They must also win an important contest to secure their place as leading Jewelers. Hannah Solomon is Rabbi Solomon’s eldest daughter and after the death of her mother during the birth of her eighth child, Hannah has taken over the role as mother to the six youngest of her siblings. Her closest sister in age has recently married and is now expecting her first child. Hannah has raised her sister Ruthie now 10 months old since the day her mother passed and feels as though she will forever be hers and she will be a spinster taking care of her siblings. Yet one fateful day Arnold arrives at the temple to return a mended necklace of pearls to Hannah that had been her mother’s. Arnold and Hannah have never met but the pull she has over Arnold is unbelievable and unstoppable and within minutes the two strangers are sharing kisses in the temple. Then they are caught by Hannah’s aunt and the consequences of the kisses…marriage. The two will go through many issues, changing of thoughts and developing of their character before the book ends and eventually lands at a HEA on a ship.
