Intent on rescuing the estate, Haro abandons his long-held…

REVIEW of Mist of Midnight, by Sandra Byrd
I first fell in love with Sandra Byrd’s novels with her ladies-in-waiting books set during the Tudor Era. I was thrilled to learn that she would be releasing a novel of romantic suspense set during the Victorian Era, and now having read it, I must say that Mist of Midnight did not disappoint. Rebecca Ravenshaw returns to England after her…

REVIEW of The Secret Keeper, by Sandra Byrd
The Secret Keeper is the second of Sandra Byrd’s Tudor era books. While the first book, To Die For, provides a refreshing take on Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn, The Secret Keeper follows the story of Henry VIII’s last wife, Kateryn Parr. Juliana St. John is a young lady gifted with prophecy, and the book…

REVIEW of The Secret of Pembrooke Park, by Julie Klassen
I read my first Julie Klassen regency a little less than two years ago, and since then, I’ve completed every book in her canon. I love how she is able to write “inspirational” fiction by incorporating Christian themes with clever storytelling. I love how well-drawn her antagonists and secondary characters are, and I think this…

REVIEW of The Rose Garden, by Susanna Kearsley
It’s been several months since I last wrote a review on this blog and, coincidentally, several months since I finished The Rose Garden, by Susanna Kearsley. During that time I’ve been reading a little less, writing a little less, and making frequent trips to the hospital with my oldest son. But rather than let my…

REVIEW of The Winter Sea, by Susanna Kearsley
I discovered Susanna Kearsley a little over a year ago when I read, enjoyed, and reviewed The Shadowy Horses. Ever since then I’ve been looking to read more of her books. The historical fiction community on-line has been raving about Kearsley’s novel The Winter Sea, and I was finally able to get a hold of it…

REVIEW of The Crown, by Nancy Bilyeau
I didn’t enter any historical fiction reading challenges this year, and consequently, the amount of historical fiction in my TBR pile has significantly declined from last year. The Crown, by Nancy Bilyeau is the first historical novel I’ve read, and I’m certainly glad I didn’t pass it up! It’s a historical whodunit that belongs right…

REVIEW of The Course of Honor, by Lindsey Davis
After finishing all twenty of Lindsey Davis’ Falco novels, I’ve moved on to some of her other historical fiction. Yesterday’s rainy afternoon brought me to the end of The Course of Honor, an early novel by Davis. Vespasian, the miserly and curmudgeonly emperor who was in love with assigning Marcus Didius Falco thankless tasks, is…

REVIEW of The Scarlet Lion, by Elizabeth Chadwick
Elizabeth Chadwick is considered by most historical fiction readers to be IT. She’s the top of the field. She’s the cream of the crop. And this is one instance where I agree with the popular voice. Chadwick’s novels are beautiful in their historical accuracy, their characterizations, and their storytelling ability. The Scarlet Lion follows The…

REVIEW of Alexandria & Nemesis, by Lindsey Davis
I’ve been putting off writing this post for quite some time because it marks a monumentally sad occasion. I have finished the Marcus Didius Falco series by Lindsey Davis–all twenty books. There are no more. Ms. Davis recalcitrantly refuses to add any more to the Falco canon–but then I suppose it is the author’s prerogative…
