The Lily of Ludgate Hill by Mimi Matthews

 

The Lily of Ludgate Hill by Mimi Matthews

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another fantastic Victorian romance from Mimi Matthews. You don't have to have read the other books in the Belles of London series to enjoy this story, but I highly recommend it because they are wonderful reads.  

Lady Anne Deveril was once secretly engaged to Mr. Felix Hartford, but they quarreled. Six and half years later, the sparks are still there when Anne asks Felix for a favor. He agrees to help her, however, the source of their quarrel is still a problem. Anne's mother, the dowager Countess of Arundell, can't cope with the death of her husband and has turned to spiritualism, laudanum, and obsessive mourning. Meanwhile, Felix is struggling with his own family problems. Anne must choose a second time between duty and love. 

Fans of Victorian novels will appreciate the nods to Queen Victoria's strict mourning rituals and spiritualism. This romance features 'enemies to lovers' and 'second chance' tropes. A sweet romance with a very satisfying ending.

Review: The Spy and I by Tiana Smith

  The Spy and I by Tiana Smith Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smart, sexy, and spies! What more do you want from a book? Seriously, I absolutely loved it. Dove Barkley is a cyber security specialist (aka penetration tester) who is mistaken for her super spy sister! She teams up with a hot CIA operative named Mendez to clear her sister's name. I loved all the spy details. If you liked the TV show "Chuck" and/or "Mission Impossible" film series you will devour this book! The romance is a longing, slow burn, where Dove isn't sure what is real and what's not. Steamy kisses, but no bedroom scenes. The action and fighting is exciting. And the twists kept me on the edge of my seat. I can hardly wait for the companion book! #TheSpyAndI #TianaSmith #Berkley @berkleyromance #RomCom #SpyBook #Romance #BookReview #BookRecommendation

Miss Scarlet and the Duke Book Recommendations!

  Have you seen "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" on PBS Mystery? My sister Stacy recommended it to me and I LOVE it. I've watched all three seasons and I can hardly wait for number 4! If you're a fan, try reading one of my books! Match your favorite character with your new favorite read.

BY ANY OTHER NAME

  BY ANY OTHER NAME was inspired by Jane Austen's family! Jane, her sister Cassandra, and her mother were given a cottage by her wealthy brother who had been adopted by wealthy relatives, Edward Knight. In my story, Jenny Monroe learns after her parent's deaths that she once had another family and a different name.
