![A Daring Venture (An Empire State Novel Book #2) by [Camden, Elizabeth]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51IqY9W9sZL.jpg)
Here is the book summary:
As a biochemist
in early 1900s New York, Doctor Rosalind Werner has dedicated her life to the
crusade against waterborne diseases. She is at the forefront of a
groundbreaking technology that will change the way water is delivered to every
household in the city--but only if she can get people to believe in her
work.
Newly appointed Commissioner of Water for New York, Nicholas Drake is highly skeptical of Rosalind and her team's techniques. When a brewing court case throws him into direct confrontation with her, he is surprised by his reaction to the lovely scientist.
While Rosalind and Nick wage a private war against their own attraction, they stand firmly on opposite sides of a battle that will impact far more than just their own lives. As the controversy grows more public and inflammatory and Rosalind becomes the target of an unknown enemy, the odds stacked against these two rivals swiftly grow more insurmountable with every passing day.

And now, my review:
A Daring
Venture by Elizabeth Camden was a great historical fiction about the importance
of water purification and what happens without it. This book started off with quite a bang and I
was holding onto my seat through the first bit wondering about making it
through the ride. It was intense to
watch the main character’s hard times with water-borne
illnesses. She then is on a quest to
find the solution so no one has to endure her pain and suffering. This leads her to some deception of sorts
that I found frustrating but
realistic. If you enjoy historical
fiction, you’ll want to check this one out.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for
my honest review.
