Silk

What can I say? This book is great! Linda Chaikin takes us to 1700s British India to a silk plantation of a wealthy British family: The Kendalls. Coral Kendall is one of the daughters of the plantation's owner: Hampton Kendall. Coral Kendall adopts a Hindu child, an untouchable, against the wishes of her uncle and the dashing, handsome officer Jace Buckley. A terrifying incident results in the kidnapping of Gem and the child's body that was found in the river. Coral is certain that the child that was found in the river is not Gem and she's determined to find him and bring him home. The book gets kind of slow towards the middle but you must read on!!! Romance, intrigue, danger surrounds everyone in the book. I believe this is one Linda Chaikin's best works!

This book is a wonderful, wonderful read. I simply could not put it down, and it ranked up there under my top 5. I simply can NOT wait to purchase the next two books in the series and begin devouring them as well!

I picked up Silk at the library a while ago and I am so glad I did! Linda Chaikin writes in exciting, refreshing style and her plots are very well thought-out. Coral Kendall, an English silk heiress born and raised in India, adopts a young native boy, an "untouchable"... a child of the lowest caste of India. When he is kidnapped, she must seek the aid of her brother's friend, Captain Jace Buckley. They're still in the middle of an adventure at the end and so you have to go out and get the next book. The series is like one huge book actually. In some series, each novel could stand on its own and each book is a separate adventure. Linda Chaikin's series are like really long stories...that are thrilling and fun. There's hardly any boring, "skim-through-the-pages" parts, which is a plus. All in all, I loved it!

Chaikin is my favorite author, and this is definitely one of my favorite books. Yes, it may not have a conclusion, but that makes it all the more enjoyable! This book is a must-read for any Christian romance lover. I totally recommend it!

This book was very well written. I love how the author incorporated the family in England in it! I also enjoyed how she portrayed The guy (JACE) in the story. I like his character, I also liked the girls character too. I reccomend to everyone to read this book. If you like history, intrigue romance. You'll love this book
