About this listen

Kate Winthrop, the only child of a wealthy shipping magnate, has the course of her life charted for her by her parents. She's expected to marry well and produce a successor to the Winthrop empire. But Kate has a very different path in mind. Her true passion lies with photography - and with women.

Alone in the city after losing her brother, Sicilian immigrant Giuliana Russo starts working for the Winthrops as a maid. Despite their different social status, Kate and Giuliana become friends, much to the dismay of Kate's parents.

As the connection between the two women grows, a devastating earthquake hits San Francisco and ignites fires that sweep through the city for three days and nights.

Will the disaster shatter their tentative feelings for each other, or will they find the courage to save each other's lives - and their hearts?

Contains mature themes.

Another great book by Jae. I love her historical romances.
The characters were really loveable plus it was great to meet Lucy from Oregon county.
I’m just so glad that I live in this day and age where it’s more acceptable to be gay.
I would definitely recommend
I loved it

I enjoyed this, it’s different to the usual gay books. Enjoyed both characters and the attention to detail to the time frame it’s set. Would recommend

This book was really beautiful. I think I enjoy Jae's historical romances even more than the contemporary ones! The love was beautiful and lovely.
And the setting was written so well. The earthquake was horrifying and scary and really drew me in.
The humanity of the different characters was interesting with the contrast between the Winthropes and the people coming to each other's aid and helping out. And even the Winthropes started to show a little compassion.
I really liked Lucy. It was cool to see her and hear a little about the ranch.

Wonderful!

Some interesting historical detail entwined with a good story. I also like the links between this novel and the 2 Oregon novels and the Hollywood series.

Amazing love story

superb historical fiction well researched, believable characters from different classes, the action scenes and aftermath of the devastation are gritty and draw you into the fray, the narration is very well presented, especially between the two main characters who are sweetness but tough. I really enjoyed it.

excellent

This is such a brilliant exciting storyline that not only shows the struggles of women but of the different class system in society, regarding family, work and friends and not forgetting love. How a rich girl can fall in love with a poor girl, a mere servant and live happily ever after. Loved it. ❤
Narration is exceptional and a pure joy to listen to. 🎶

EARTH SHATTERING GOOD!
