Krysia Milos comes of age at the height of the Romantic era, when poets, musicians and writers influenced the course of nations. Krysia, raised in Poland by an influential uncle and his unorthodox sister, joins those struggling for independence under Russian rule. When she comes to Warsaw for her debut into society, she finds herself enmeshed in the plans for an uprising against the czar’s rule. Independent and willing to prove herself useful to the cause of Poland’s freedom, she determines to help her uncle by gathering information. She soon finds herself in over her head, pitted against the sinister but very powerful Russian Dmitri Orlovsky and the Polish officer, Casimir Zalenski, whose cynicism belies his uniform and whose past is murky at best. As revolution threatens to destroy everything she has, Krysia must decide which man is worthy of her trust. For those who love the larger-than-life historical panoramas of Russian history, the era of the French salon and its cultural influence to its Eastern neighbors, and the timeless love story of individuals caught in tumultuous eras, Love’s Enduring Flame is for you.

This is not Christian fiction - at best, "Christian erotica" By Gabriele What a shock to find that a book by Ruth Axtell is filled with sexual situations, some graphic and unpleasant. There is some scripture cited, however, the characters have no demonstrated relationship with God and God does not figure in the ongoing storyline. Moonlight Masquerade will remain one of my all time favorites, but I will never pick up another book by this author whom I had just been delighted to discover. I cannot even begin to imagine what caused the author to go in this direction. Having said that, the story and characters were not unique or particularly interesting. For those who are thrilled to read about Polish history, you may find something of interest.

By Esperanza Ruth Axtell is one of my favorite authors, and "Love's Enduring Flame" is one of her very best books! It kept me up waaaaaay too late, on more than one occasion; I didn't want to stop reading!This is a wonderful love story. When they first meet, Krysia is a fiery, patriotic, impulsive, and oh-so-naïve Polish village girl. Casimir, a captain in the Polish army, doesn't care about anything but his own creature comforts---at least, that's what he tells himself. They have amazing chemistry---which is the main thing that makes this such a great read.The secondary characters in "Love's Enduring Flame" add extra layers to the story and are so fun to read about; I was just as interested in them as I was in the hero and heroine. And the villain! He is abhorrent and wicked and gave me the creeps in a major way. He's the kind you "love to hate," as the expression goes.I never would have thought a book set in Poland in the 1830s would be of interest to me at all, but right from the first scene, I felt like I was really there. I could see everything in my mind's eye because of the way Ruth described it. Finishing this book, I find I'm now so interested in that time period, I'm seriously ready to go read "War and Peace"!Ruth is known for her inspirational (read: Christian) fiction. "Love's Enduring Flame" is more along the lines of her earlier works for Steeple Hill (e.g., "Wild Rose," "The Rogue's Redemption") than it is her later works for Revell ("Her Good Name," "Moonlight Masquerade"). Though this book does not carry a strong, knock-you-over-the-head-repeatedly Christian message, Krysia's faith grows through adversity, and Casimir undergoes a quiet conversion of his own. Though neither of them ever becomes at all boring, it is very evident by the end of the book that both have changed in remarkable ways.And, speaking of the ending … it made me cry. Happy tears, of course! Only the best books make me cry at the end. When I find an author who can solicit that response, I'll read everything she/he writes!Finally, a caution: This is a book for mature readers only. Though there are no sex scenes, and the kissing scenes do not depict anything graphic, there is a long section with the villain that may be disturbing for some readers (it was for me). And at least one of the scenes featuring Krysia and Casimir made me want to cover my eyes! Not too conducive to actual READING, that! But honestly, there isn't anything in here I haven't seen in other books put out by some of the mainstream Christian publishing houses. So if there is a problem, maybe it's with the direction Christian publishing is taking, not with Ruth's book (which, if you'll notice, is not being put out by one of the big Christian publishers but by Ruth herself).I hesitate to add this, since I'm sure there are people who will wildly disagree, but if you've been missing Laura Kinsale, I recommend you give "Love's Enduring Flame" a try. It may remind you of her books. But even if it doesn't, I hope you'll enjoy "Love's Enduring Flame" as much as I did!

I have read hundreds of historical novels and never once visited this part of history. I loved that the scene and setting were so beautifully researched and described. I felt as though I not only learned about, but actually discovered what it was like to love in this time and place. The characters were beautifully real, and deep even with their flaws and struggles. I read this book with the full understanding that is was not marketed as Christian and the romance was heated, as I expected it would be, but I appreciated that it was not over the top. This one will be staying on the keeper shelf. Excellent read that I highly recommend.
