About the Book

Title: Venus and Lysander

Author: Yoshiyuki Ly

Genre: Historical Romance / Fantasy

Living as a nobleman and as a woman, Valerie of Lysander is sick of waiting for the world to change. The discrimination she suffers as an outcast builds into resentment. Once Val takes matters into her own hands, the whole Empire of Tynan feels her brand of justice. The Emperor’s adviser, Lucrezia of Azrith, wants more of Val’s ruthlessness—for revenge against the unjust, and for her own desires. Venus and Lysander is an intricate romance set in the fictional Victorian city of Eden, 250 years after the events in The Scorpion’s Empress.

Lucrezia is Lady Chancellor for the Emperor and a sorceress-in-hiding. She is forced to conceal her identity from the religious public for fear of death. As she learns to trust in Val’s chivalry and affections for her, they both fall for the softer sides behind their similar bulletproof personas. Lucrezia receives a mysterious warning about a sadistic enemy threatening the Azrith and Lysander families. Once they discover their nemesis’ true motive, Val and Lucrezia’s tyrannous devotion for one another is all they can count on to survive.

About the Book

 Title: No Quarter: Wenches – Volume 1

Author: MJL Evans

Genre: Historical Romance

Volume 1 of 6 begins in 1689 Port Royal, Jamaica, where Atia Crisp is imprisoned, awaiting trial, while refugees from Strangewayes’s plantation seek their new home. Guided by Capitaine la Roche, they face pursuit by the pirate hunter Big Dick and the perilous terrain of Bocas del Toro. Their future home of Sérénité hangs in the balance, complicated by the outbreak of war with France.

Series Description:

The adventures from No Quarter: Dominium continue with wenches! In 1689, Atia Crisp finds herself imprisoned in the wickedest city on earth, Port Royal, Jamaica, while the refugees from Strangewayes’s plantation in the Blue Mountains are on the run and seeking a new home, deep in the Caribbean. Captain Jean-Paul la Roche must get them to safety and find a way to liberate the woman he loves while waging a war against the English with the pirate Laurens de Graaf.

While besieged people suffer and starve, a group of women form a secret and illegal society deep from within the bowels of the city called: WENCH. A network that deals with smugglers, merchants, cutthroats and thieves. Dragged into the struggle for supremacy of the Caribbean, the women are divided and find themselves engulfed in bloodshed. The pirates of Port Royal and former enemies may be their only hope of escape.

Hell hath no fury like a cross wench!

Book Review and Giveaway Fool Me Twice

Title: Fool Me Twice
Author: Philippa Jane Keyworth
Genre: Historical Romance
Age Group: Adult
Rating: 4,5 stars
Purchase: Amazon
Review copy provided by Enchanted Book Promotions in exchange for an honest review.

In the gaming hells of eighteenth century London, orphan Caro Worth is leading a double life. By day she plays a proper gentlewoman on the lookout for a wealthy husband. By night she plays the infamous Angelica, her fictional half-sister with a talent for cards and an ability to finance the life her respectable self has built. An introduction to a rich Marquis brings marriage and security within Caro’s grasp…until the arrival of the unpredictable and totally ineligible Mr. Tobias Felton.

Dismayed by Felton’s persistent appearances, shocking frankness, and enigmatic green eyes, Caro watches helplessly as he comes closer than anyone to guessing her secret, but when complete and utter ruin threatens, she finds that Felton’s suspicions just might become her salvation. As the walls she has built to protect herself crumble down around her, Caro learns that no matter how careful your plans, life and love have a habit of falling quite spectacularly out of control!

In Fool Me Twice, Caro Worth is an orphan in eighteenth century London, and she’s leading a double life. By day, she plays the proper woman, on the lookout for a wealthy husband. By night, she plays the infamous Angelica, her supposed half-sister with an uncanny talent for playing cards, and the ability to finance the life her day version of herself has built. Caro has prospects of marrying a Marquis, which would settle her for life… But then an unpredictable and ineligible Mr. Tobias Felton shows up, and pulls the rug from under her feet.

Felton is everything she can’t have. Persistent, frank, and worst of all, he’s suspicious, and very close to finding out her secret. But his suspicions might just rescue her in time when everything she’s built threatens to collapse around her.

I loved this book, the premise, the characters, the historical setting, everything. The writing was phenomenal, and hooked me from the start, making me wonder what would happen next, and how Caro would fare with her risky double life. Tobias Felton was such an intriguing and mysterious character too, and Caro had so much personality and was very daring.

Fans of historical fiction will no doubt love this book.

Author Bio

author-pic-keyworthPhilippa Jane Keyworth, known to her friends as Pip, has been writing since she was twelve in every notebook she could find. Originally trained as a horse-riding instructor, Philippa went on to become a copywriter before beginning a degree in History. A born again Christian, Philippa lives in the south of England with her handsome husband.

Philippa has always written stories and believes that, since it is one of her loves and passions, she always will. In her early writing career, she dabbled in a variety of genres, but it was the encouragement of a friend to watch a film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice that began her love affair with the British Regency. Since then, she has watched every Regency film and TV series she could get her hands on and become well acquainted with Georgette Heyer’s novels which gave her the inspiration to write her own.

Both as a reader and a writer, Philippa believes it is important to escape into a world you yourself would want to live in. This is why she writes stories that will draw you into the characters’ joys and heartaches in a world apart from our own. Her debut novel, The Widow’s Redeemer (Madison Street Publishing, 2012), is a traditional Regency romance bringing to life the romance between a young widow with an indomitable spirit and a wealthy viscount with an unsavory reputation. The novel has been received well by readers and reviewers who have praised the heartfelt story and admirable characters. Her second novel, The Unexpected Earl (Madison Street Publishing, 2014), explores another romance in the Regency era when an impetuous young woman has her life turned upside down by the reappearance of the earl who jilted her six years ago. Her third novel, Fool Me Twice (Madison Street Publishing, 2016), is a Georgian romance that has just been released.

So, what are you waiting for? Get swept away into another time with characters you will learn to love, and experience Britain in the 18th century and Regency like never before.

Book Review: Highland Deception by Lori Ann Bailey

HighlandDeception_500X750Title: Highland Deception

Author: Lori Ann Bailey

Genre: Historical Romance

Age Group: Adult

Rating: 4 stars

Purchase: Amazon

Review copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Scotland, August 1642

Maggie and Lachlan must fight their growing attraction, battling suspicion and intrigue as religious and political turmoil threaten to tear their clans apart.

He has sworn he will never marry.

Lachlan Cameron is honor bound to see a wounded lass to safety, although he has well learned women are deceivers, and this lovely maid harbors a wealth of secrets. But Maggie’s free spirit and charms enthrall him while he works to discover if she is innocent…or a spy scheming with his enemies to destroy his clan.

She has sworn she will never fall in love.

Maggie Murray fled her home to avoid a political marriage to an abusive man. Salvation comes when the Cameron laird, unaware of her identity, protects her as she escapes. His kindness slowly warms her, and she’s tempted to confess her real name. But his strong sense of honor would force him to return her to her father…and torment at the hands of her scorned betrothed.

After watching season one of Outlander, I was in the mood for some Scottish historical romance, and Lori Ann Bailey’s novel, Highland Deception, certainly fit the bill. Maggie Muray fled her home to avoid a political marriage to a man who not only she doesn’t love, but who is also abusive. Maggie decides that the only way to escape is to run away, and join a convent, despite secretly dreaming of someone who will love her and cherish her.

Maggie escapes, and along the way, she meets Lachlan Cameron, whose honor binds him to see her to safety. Lachlan has a bad history with women, and thinks most of them are liars and deceivers. Yet he swears to protect her, and the more time he spends with Maggie, the more he realizes she’s a free spirit, has a lot of charm and wit, and is nothing at all like he feared she would be.

This was a fun, fast-paced and very romantic highlander romance that entertained me for quite a few hours. I really enjoyed this book, and the writing was excellent. I’m sure fans of the genre will love this.

Author Bio

Lori Ann Bailey has a romantic soul and believes the best in everyone. Sappy commercials and proud mommy moments make her cry. She sobs uncontrollably and feels emotionally drained when reading sad books, so she started reading romance for the Happily Ever Afters. She was hooked. Then, the characters and scenes that ran around in her head as she attempted to sleep at night begged to be let out. Looking back now, her favorite class in high school was the one where a professor pulled a desk to the center of the room and told her to write two paragraphs about it and the college English class taught by a red-headed Birkenstock wearing girl, not much older than she, who introduced her to Jack Kerouac. After working in business and years as a stay-at-home mom she has found something in addition to her family to be passionate about, her books. She lives in Northern Virginia with her real life hero, four kids that keep her on her toes, two dogs determined to destroy her house and two cats secretly plotting the demise of those dogs.

Book Review: A Knight with Grace by Laurel O’Donnell

O'Donnell, Laurel- A Knight with Grace (final)Title: A Knight with Grace
Author: Laurel O’Donnell
Genre: Historical Romance
Age Group: Adult (18+)
Rating: 4 stars
Purchase: Amazon
Review copy provided by Enchanted Book Promotions in exchange for an honest review.

Lady Grace Willoughby defies her father’s orders to marry Sir William de Tracy and escapes with a friend. She has no intention of wedding a cursed man, a man ostracized from the church, a man who would only doom any future children they might have to the fires of Hell. She prays for a knight to rescue her.

Excommunicated and outcast for a horrible crime in his past, Sir William de Tracy searches for forgiveness. Marriage has never crossed his mind until Lord Willoughby commissions him to retrieve his fleeing daughter and honor the dying wish of his father by marrying Grace.

But things are not as they seem. And when an assassin tries to kill Grace, William must choose between his soul and the woman he has come to love. Can William and Grace overcome their past and find the redemption and love both are so desperately seeking?

In A Knight with Grace, Lady Grace Willoughby is quite sure of the fact she does not want to marry Sir William de Tracy. Her main reason for not doing so is that he’s a cursed man, ostracized from the church. He’s been excommunicated because of a horrible crime in his past, and Grace wants nothing to do with him.

William on the other hand, is desperate for redemption. When he’s ordered to retrieve Grace, and an assassin tries to kill her, William realizes he has growing feelings for the woman. And Grace too starts to feel something for William. Can they overcome the past, and find love together?

I didn’t want to spoil too much of the plot, but there is a lot of intrigue going on and secrets that could hurt William and Grace’s relationship, let alone the assassin out to hurt her. The writing is fast-paced and flows really well. Once I started reading, I didn’t want to stop.

The author did an amazing job crafting both Grace and William and making them realistic and enjoyable characters. They also had a lot of chemistry. The setting was detailed, and it was easy to imagine yourself being there as a reader.

A suspenseful, thrilling historical romance that I would recommend to all fans of the genre.
