Book Description:

Orphaned as a toddler, Caralynn Davidson grieves the loss of her grandfather as she takes over the reins of the family estate near a small Swiss village, but the Brimstone and Water from millennia ago that destroyed an ancient civilization is about to change Caralynn's life. She receives a letter from her grandfather, charging her with the mission of bringing an ancient soul to rest. "But I thought only God could bring a soul to rest," she whispers with the loosely held pages still in her hand.
 
Mynah is Caralynn's ancestor who is princess of Crete when the under gods attack. Mynah is transplanted into the exotic but foreign world of Egypt, where she learns that she can be welcomed into a new family but will never be able to rest until she is returned to her beloved Crete. Hoping that one day she will rejoin her family, Mynah tells her daughter and her daughter's daughters that they must satisfy her ultimate desire
 
For generations, Mynah has visited the women in Caralynn's family, and now Caralynn knows the time has come to visit Mynah herself. She learns in this compelling story about love and a soul crying out to be free that even Brimstone and Water cannot keep a family apart.

Review:

Sharon House pens "Brimstone and Water" in a plot that is fast paced and filled with emotions. I found her characters to be well developed and believable in this historical romance. Between the interesting story line, the suspense and her great characters I did have a hard time putting the book down. A must read for all historical romance fans.

I give "Brimstone and Water" a 4 star rating.
