Vivid characters will remain with you after you close the pages. Fabulous fiction threaded through history, which has completely captured my curiosity. So richly written, feels like I've watched a movie rather than read a book. - Review A page-turning conclusion to a grand saga! - For the Love of a Book The characters were in depth and complex... there wasn't a moment I was not in awe of their humanity and flaws. I kept ending up in research rabbit holes with each historical reference. This book was fascinating. Highly recommend! - Review The Virtues of Vice is exactly the kind of conclusion I wanted for the Ground Sweet as Sugar duet. Catherine C. Heywood took all the puzzle pieces, jagged and otherwise that were laid out before us, and meticulously found their place... Wow. What a story. - MJ Loves to Read I read this book in less than a day, I didn't want to put it down. - Review Heywood, as always, provides a story that drags the reader into some wonderful escapism, romance and high drama. A book of consuming love, justice, power and revenge, where the end to all virtue is finally happiness. - Books, Tea, and Me
