I’ve been stressed out with selling our house, packing, and the impending move.
So I went to my happy place—books. I’m making time each day to read more. That’s a great stress reliever.
Reading more means reviewing more. Here are 3 quick reviews for books you might enjoy.
With This Kiss by Victoria Lynne
While the cover art is lovely, it’s a bit misleading. This is not a contemporary, but a Victorian Historical Romance that’s a bit different.
It was nominated for a Romantic Times Best Historical Romance.
Morgan St. James is the hero of this romance. He’s known as The Beast because of his horrific burn scars resulting from his brave heroic action. In Victorian England, men who are unattractive aren’t considered good prospects for marriage despite how wealthy he may be.
Julia Prentiss is The Beauty who has a proposition for The Beast: marry her and protect her from her uncle. In return, she will help him find the arsonist responsible for torching his mansion, killing many of his staff whom he tried to save at the risk of his own life.
Yes, you know this marriage of convenience will result in love, but the perilous journey these two take to get to that place will hold your attention and have you rooting for them.
A Bad Eclair Day by Susan Kiernan-Lewis
This cozy mystery is Book 4 in the Stranded in Provence series. I really like this series which is set in post-apocolyptic France.
Amateur sleuth Jules Hooker must solve mysteries the old-fashioned way—without cell phones, computers, cars, and instant forensic results.
Jules, an American stranded in Provence, began building a “family” of oddballs in book 1. In this book, she must prove the two little old ladies who she lives with—and who were French Resistance fighters in WW2—weren’t responsible for the poisoned chocolate éclairs that killed someone.
This book, like the others in the series, is amusing and subtly emotional as Jules continues her ex-pat existence in a changed world. Delightful!
Love and Betrayal…Regency style!
This Regency Romance is Book 1 of An Unlikely Husband. If you were enchanted by Bridgerton, the Netflix original, you’re probably in the reading market for more Regency.
You can’t go wrong with Mary Campisi.
Francie Jordan is a young woman of noble blood, but she was raised as a peasant girl.
Alexander Bishop was an orphaned stable boy who became the surrogate son of a powerful earl who just happens to be Francie’s real father.
The two have nothing in common—she’s a free spirit who runs barefoot and talks to animals. He’s stiff, conservative, and unyielding in his attempt to be a proper son of an earl.
These two desire each other, but they have such an aversion to the other’s habits that it’s questionable whether they can overcome those barriers. Enter her conniving father who is determined that they should marry.
Unfortunately, not everyone in the ccountryside shares her father’s opinion. This Regency romance will make you sigh.
