Publisher's summary

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Witches of East End and the Descendants series comes the love story of young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.

1777. Albany, New York.

As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society's biggest events: the Schuylers' grand ball. Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country's founding families and even prouder still of their three daughters - Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival those of both her sisters, though she'd rather be aiding the colonists' cause than dressing up for some silly ball.

Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington's right-hand man. Though Alex has arrived as the bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can't believe his luck - as an orphan, and a bastard one at that - to be in such esteemed company. And when Alex and Eliza meet that fateful night, so begins an epic love story that would forever change the course of American history.

In Alex and Eliza, number-one New York Times best-selling author Melissa de la Cruz brings to life the romance of young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.

Great Historical Novel!

I'm a little behind on the whole "Hamilton" craze, but this was a great historical fiction about Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler. The characters were well developed and the story was interesting. I found myself looking up more information on some of the main characters to enhance my history knowledge.

A Pleasant Surprise

As a Spaniard I am not too familiar with the United States of America's less-known historical figures, but the summary reminded me of Jane Austen's books, so I decided to give it a try. I must say that I liked quite a lot Cassandra Campbell's performance and that the story was a lot of fun. I learnt a lot of history and I even decided to read more about the historical characters. To sum up, this was a very pleasant surprise and I would love to read the sequel as well.

It was nice

The audiobook was great! It wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing either. The plotline wasn't great either but the speaker was loud and clear which was good. Good speaker not so good plotline.

Alexander Hamilton

This book made that aspect of history more accessible. Pretty much, if you mix history with a little romance, I’m in. I look forward to the sequel!

Sweet but Predictable

This was a very sweet and innocent love story. A pleasant listen that didn't require much of an investment on the readers part, which can be quite relaxing. It was very predictable however, and it would be nice to have some less static/mary sue characters
