In a time of revolution and then war, daring-do was called for and sometimes the heroes and heroines had to wear a mask to accomplish what was needed. In the spirit of The Scarlet Pimpernel and Pride & Prejudice comes a series to tantalize historical romantic suspense fans. I eagerly took up this first book […]
I’ve been enjoying the Fogg Lake series. I think this is the end of the trilogy and I would have liked to learn much more about the world and its magic. It could have been much more developed and we don’t get to understand all of it . There are some things which carry along […]
I have enjoyed this Bishop Special Crime Unit series for a long time. Sometimes the stories feature long known members of the team and some are completely new characters. With well known characters, there is the advantage of already knowing them and having better developed characters who then further progress. With new ones, it makes […]
The Westcott series has been a heartwarming family saga beginning when a recently deceased head of family left some stunning surprises after he was gone.

There definitely was a strong class system with a misogynistic bent. Yet Kit is talented enough she succeeded and got her own ship […]
Somehow I thought I’d be reading a fake dating trope. The Singles Table is not really that. It does feature two people who have decided for various reasons not to date or have any kind of relationship until they crash into each other’s lives. Really, Zara crashes into Jay’s life unapologetically, with her energy and […]
I love this world and its layered characters! There are many threads from the previous book, The Murder on Cold Street which take us into a new adventure. I would read this series in order because the complexity of the characters and relationships which are just as important as the particular cases. They build over […]
As Raphael’s Seven got their stories one by one, readers grew more and more excited. It was no surprise that the last two remaining sans love interests were Aodhan and Illium. Readers have seen this deep friendship hold steady through the darkest of times and recently noted sparks that were not the result of our […]
