Storm and Silence (Storm and Silence Saga)

This is a series that I keep coming back to! The tension in this story is perfect. The characters are all well fleshed out and add something to the story. The plot, while it sometimes is slow, still is interesting. Lilly Linton is witty and she is so fun to read and watch as she continually attempts to outsmart Mr. Ambrose (aka Mr Darcy’s more uptight brother). It definitely is a slow burn, and I could see why it would be too slow for some people, but the journey is so fun to go on. The entire series is packed with humor. I definitely recommend this series!

The story itself was very intriguing. I absolutely loved it. The characters seemed a little out of sync at times and not as realistic, but the main characters grow on you. I wish the word choice in the conversations were more to the times of this era, but it was so fun I will continue reading anyway.

This is one of the best books, the series is amazing. It is well written and has historical facts the are accurate, it enhances the experience of reading this book. Thier is a mastermind, his characters bring you moment of relatability while providing comedy like no other. I’m a fan of the FMC, and have a love-hate with the MMC. Definitely a book to read!

"What," I thought, "have I done!" This book has 885 pages and an estimated reading time of 9 hours and 13 minutes. Since I feel obligated to finish books I begin, that could mean many happy hours or many miserable ones. My personal story has a happy ending -- I enjoyed the book. Reading it is like listening to an old-time radio program, complete with wild adventures and twists and melodrama. The romance part is very Victorian, and progresses with two steps forward and two or three steps back so minimal advances are made, mostly through hands touching and heavy innuendo, along with heavy breathing. Those 885 pages could have been pared down by removing some repetition and a few of Rikkard and Lilly's standard remarks. Rikkard rarely gives away what he is thinking, but Lilly shares her every thought. One of my favorites was, "You could have knocked me over with a feather. Actually, half a feather might have done it. Or maybe a very small piece of yarn?" Then there are some modern terms that made me stumble, such as a "win-win" and "for one." But expressions used at the time of the story are explained in the humorous Endnotes. Like any old-time radio program, the book ends as a cliff-hanger. What happens? As the final chapter's heading says, that is "None of Your Business." My response to the ending: I immediately bought Book 2 in the series.

This book is a true slow burn romance. Maybe too slow for some people. Lilly Linton can be perceived as juvenile and immature to some readers, however to me I deeply enjoyed her personality. At times her character can feel a bit inauthentic and forced, and the feminist in her has its moments where it just feels so forced. I can appreciate the implementation of her personality and values, but at times it just felt like overkill. However nothing to where it killed the enjoyment of the book. The first like 250 pages of the book is extremely slow, with the insane emphasis on her sister Ella’s romance. I felt like all the detail and description was unnecessary. That being said though, there was moments here and there of the brewing romance between Lilly and Ambrose which kept me glued to the book wanting more of it. This story is truly remarkable, and it definitely takes some dedication to really get what you want out of it but to me, it was well worth the wait. If you don’t think you have the dedication for a slow burn romance, I really don’t recommend this to you. The enemies to lovers and the slow pacing of the book always kept me wanting more, and it is certainly one of the more realistic books I’ve read in terms of the pacing. I read this book in 2018 on Wattpad and it will always have a special place in my heart. Highly highly recommend.

Love this book-series with Lilli and Mr. Ambrose so so much, it is so perfectly written and the best thing is that there will be six of those so lots of reading without having to search for a new good book. (You can read the unpublished book five and six on Wattpad) I really hope it will get filmed someday. I would really like to give more stars if i could.

*rolls up sleeves* Let's get this review started people! This story has rightly deserved the "People's Choice Award". And it deserves plenty more. This book has everything! Mystery, A very unique humour, Drama,Romance,Thriller,Action.. I could keep going but you get the gist' It has also has the best depiction of a realistic relationship and scenarios. But still maintains its imaginative spark. While reviewing books we all say that we laughed and enjoyed reading the book, but probably the most you might have done is mentally give a small smile. But believe me when I say this, you are actually going to LAUGH OUT LOUD. And I dare you, who reads this to prove me wrong! This book will teach you more about Interesting History in one chapter than you learned in all of your school days! We all imagine the Victorian Era to be rather dusty with weird shaped dresses and posh people dancing about in massive ballrooms. THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND. IT WILL MAKE YOU SEE IT IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. You will never relate to a character more than you will relate to a 19 year old Victorian Girl'. Sounds funny right? Boy you are wrong again' ;0 The author is absolute magic! He makes the scene and settings come alive!. HE WILL MAKE YOU LIVE THROUGH THE ENITRE BOOK! The reason it deserves a five star rating. So many people are confused as to why that is' Let me elucidate. This story has been a massive journey for all us fans. We have lived it with the author, in real time. We have had the pleasure to laugh along with the other fans..made plenty of friends.. Shared our thoughts and feelings.. Made crazy theories, and gave plenty of feedback. In return Sir Rob has never disappointed us. Ever. He is the only author who I know works so hard and dedicatedly. His researches are super accurate. If you do not appreciate the hard work he has put in. You will never appreciate any thing in life then' A BOOK WORTH YOUR MONEY! I am a resident of India, and when I saw the price of this book ,I was slightly taken aback. It was a bit expensive. But I still went ahead with the purchase. But when I got to hold the MAJESTIC beauty in my hand.. I realised it had been worth every penny I had saved up. Mark my words.. YOU HAVE NOT LIVED TILL YOU HAVE READ THIS BOOK!

This book follows young, intelligent feminist Lilly Linton as she acquires a job as secretary of the silent and broading Mr. Ambrose, the manliest of men, who has his mind set on getting rid of her, because women aren't fit for working outside their own house. But obviously, Miss Linton can not allow such things to happen! At first, I feared this book would start of with two characters who dispise each other and end with both of them incredibly in love. But I couldn't have been more wrong. There's so much more to the story. It portrayes the position of women in Victorian London, the irrationality of humans, the way we always want something we can't have and how we fool ourselves into thinking we have some sort of control over our lives. The writing's splendid, the characters have a depth to them that makes them so intriguing and the author has a wonderfull sense of humor. You're captured from the first chapter to the last word of the book, that keeps you hanging on for more! Luckily for us, the second book is being written this very moment! So, to round this up, spend the money, but gain something that is worth so much more! And last but not least, remember: Time is power is knowledge is money!

The book is larger than i expected, a pleasant surprise! The words however begin at the very top and continue to the very bottom, not leaving much room as you usually see in other books. It is self-published i believe, so i'm so grateful to support writers- just a tip! Will buy the rest eventually!

Loved this series when i first read this on wattpad
