    5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, what a tangled web we weave
    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The name Alexander Hamilton has an aura of celebrity, bordering on mythical proportions. No doubt a book titled “Sharing Hamilton” is certain to attract readers from the outset. That it’s created by two award-winning authors sweetens the pie, and ensures that the pages will be jam-packed with rip-roaring storytelling, historical details, lusty romance and chilling suspense. The book satisfies on all counts. Not knowing any details of Hamilton’s life, I read the book as pure fiction. For who in the world in those days would have the time, the energy, the devious mindset to create and perpetuate such intrigue and deceptions. It wasn’t until I read Rubino’s author notes at the end, that I was even more impressed by such a masterful telling of fact, with some fictional characters woven in. (That said, I suppose they did have a lot more time on their hands: no TV, social media, or other distractions of modern life.)
    Here we have a Hamilton who is not only a revered Founding Father, the first Treasury Secretary of the United States, but is also a bed-hopping cad with an insatiable sexual appetite and a penchant for deception and infidelity. These idiosyncrasies make Hamilton ripe for blackmail lest his latest perfidious affair be revealed by none other than the scheming opportunistic husband of the lady that Hamilton desires. There are so many threads to this devious web of deceit, and so many personal agendas that, at times, it resembles farce or a drawing room comedy of the most delicious kind. We have political shenanigans, spies, insider trading, a clueless Lady Hamilton, heart-rending romantic obsession, and - oh, yes: A Jack the Ripper-style serial killer (fiction). All this, while Hamilton tries to corral political allies and fend off political foes while shaping a new nation and its economic policies.
    But have no doubt, the story line is compelling and serious, with heart-rending passion and human pathos. The attraction between Hamilton and Maria Reynolds is based as much on intellectual brilliance as it is on body heat. The lady is shamelessly besotted, while Hamilton’s commitment to the nation is stronger than his commitment to his paramour. His wife, Lady Eliza Hamilton, is blindly supportive of her husband’s political and patriotic pledge, but is shaken by the blackmail attempts that would mar her husband’s reputation and destroy his career. As she goes about trying to unmask the scoundrel, she is in complete denial about the truth and looks for answers in all the wrong places.
    Eventually, destiny wins out, and the story follows its own truth. (If only History were taught in schools with such panache, there might be more students interested in its intricacies.) As for our fictional serial killer, created by Brian Porter, as chilling as this story line is, it is almost superfluous, but since this character has been “kicking around” in Porter’s mind as the possibility for one of his own novels, I say bring it on. The author gives us a cliffhanger of an update on the killer’s whereabouts that has you wanting more.
    Bravo!

    5.0 out of 5 stars History That Could Easily Have Been True
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2017

    Sharing Hamilton, by Diana Rubino and Brian L. Porter, held my interest not only because of the story but also because my family is tracing our genealogy. So finding this historical fiction book came at the right time.

    The story itself, fiction as it is, shows Rubino’s love of history. She has produced a plausible story of how events may have occurred and entwined them with true history. Her knowledge of the time period shows that she has done a lot of research, whether recently or in the past, this author knows her facts. All the elements of the time period needed to get the reader feeling a part of it all is undeniably there. Costumes and dress, food and drink, mannerisms and speech colloquialisms, and so much more. All of these elements make a seamless plot and held my interest throughout.

    Brian L. Porter’s contribution of adding a serial killer into the mix was surprising, yet not so. Porter is famous for the best-selling mysteries. Slipping a serial killer into the threads of this story was also done seamlessly. This added an additional air of excitement, interest and fear or anticipation to the overall plot. I must smile at the way Porter’s contribution ended but will not do a spoiler here. Needless to say, I believe it’s a set-up for more of Porter’s serial mystery books.

    For those who love historical fiction, I highly recommend reading this story. It’s doesn’t stray far from reality. Rubino’s thorough documents of the facts in the back pages after the story ends shows the historical fact around which she based her fiction. A superb read!

    Sharing Hamilton was the most interesting book I have ever read. This is my first time reading something that Brian L. Porter and Diana Rubino wrote and I am finding their work to be intriguing. This historical fiction story with its romance between two women leaves the reader wanting to know what is to happen next and who will be found out. Now, if that is not enough to keep your interests going, a serial killer is added in and with this added thrill, makes the story even more stirring. So, it has both of the genres that I love in a good book, mystery, and romance.
    It is not a difficult read it flows quite nicely and keeps you wanting to turn the pages to see what is to happen next. Never a dull moment. It is written brilliantly and I plan on reading more books by these astounding author.

    Being a history student by my initial education, and loving historical novels, this was a must read, never mind one of the co-authors, Brian L. Porter is one of my favorite authors. This tale, as one might expect with the description of a clandestine affair, especially one with such an historical figure, was a bit slow moving. The back story of a murderous doctor added a spice of a different kind as well and made one wonder whether the main ingenue would meet her fate at the hands of the notorious Doctor Severus Black. The story was very well written and the characters were presented as though they were real, and in fact they were. I thoroughly enjoyed this, my first essay into the world of Diana Rubino.

    and I have found it almost unbearably boring and trite. I hate to disagree so significantly with the other reviewers, but nothing can persuade me to continue with this book. Others have praised its development, but I will never know because I can not continue reading it. (For some information on my usual reading preferences - I love all types of mysteries, especially cozies and historical, romances, historical treatises, and novels based on history.) I can not make myself read anymore of this.

    5.0 out of 5 stars .Fact and fiction beautifully blended by two excellent authors 👍🏼😊
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2020

    I'm an avid reader of Mr Porter's Mersey Mystery Series and of his Family of Rescuedogs series, so I was intrigued to discover he'd combined with US Romantic Fiction writer to produce this brilliant book. Sharing Hamilton is based on the love affair between US treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, and Maria Reynolds. I'm no expert on American politics or history but loved Ms Rubino' s fictionalised account of the affair that scandalised the US capital in the 18th century. I wondered how two authors from different continents could manage to blend two stories together and I still don't know how they did it, because when Dr Severus Black enters the story you can't 'see the join'. The authors have seamlessly worked the two elements of the story together, and Porter's creepy creation of the charming but deadly Dr. Black, who stalks the streets by night while charming the ladies by day, was enough to give me goose-bumps.
    I was enthralled by the affair between Hamilton and Maria, wondering how it would affect those closest to the errant lovers, and at the same time, I couldn't wait to see what would happen to Severus Black, (even the name is dark and creepy).
    This was my first read of Ms Rubino's work and it won't be the last.
    As for Mr Porter, he has created a new and wonderfully evil character in Severus Black. Is it too much to ask that we might see more of him in the future? Definitely 5 stars from me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Historical accuracy, romance and blackest crime
    Reviewed in Italy on April 10, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The premise that I do not like historical romance books makes my appreciation of Sharing Hamilton more remarkable. I guess that is down to the careful research by author Diana Rubino, who takes us back to the era of the Founding Fathers with admirable authenticity. The intuition to involve Brian L. Porter with his fascinating addition of a serial killer, Dr Severus Black, skilfully woven into the plot adds more spice to a tale already brimming with intrigue. The character Severus is worthy of a novel in his own right, but Brian Porter’s memorable characterisation adds to the period feel of the book, which boasts the splendid characterisation of the female personages by Rubino. All told, an excellent read that will be appreciated also by more general readers not just lovers of romance. 5 stars.

    Purchase Verified Format: Kindle Version

    I must admit it was a bit unexpected to find Brian Porter teaming up with a full-blooded romantic US writer such as Diana Rubino after his Mersey Mystery Series and endearing pet stories, but well worth investigating at first hand.
    What a duo. They work so naturally together it was almost impossible to detect where one left off and the other began – the hallmark of craftsmanship.
    I found it a fascinating story about the tempestuous extra marital love affair between the US treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton and Maria Reynolds; cleverly interspersed with graphic accounts of the deadly sexual motivated murders carried out by the smooth-talking Dr Black who stalked the streets by night, searching for his latest victim. All this set against a realistic backcloth of American politics in the 18th century.
    As details of their illicit affair begin to leak out due to the increasing demands of Maria’s blackmailing husband, Hamilton’s wife, Eliza seems to attract the attentions of Dr Black to the point where I was expecting her to be the next one on his list.
    I can see that we will be seeing more plots evolving between the two of them in the not to distant future at this rate. Full marks for a tense and gripping romantic thriller.

    Sharing Hamilton has all the ingredients to keep the reader turning pages. This is a very original and thoroughly interesting story that depicts historical characters as real flesh and blood people. Along with the First Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, are his wife and mistress! I found that very interesting reading.
    Also added for good measure, and it is very exciting, is a serial killer who is prowling the streets. Told alongside the romance and history and witnessing this murdering pervert’s actions is a shock!
    Interesting to me also, was the actual Colonial history as the backdrop of the tale.
    If you like history, an extremely interesting plot and believable characters, look no further!
    5 stars for Sharing Hamilton.
