We got double the fun this week for New-to-Us November! We read recently released “In the Midst of Shadows” by Nicola Italia and “Once a Laird” by Mary Jo Putney.
If you love a mystery and suspense in your historical fiction, “In the Midst of Shadows” is for you! Lavinia wrote short stories and through connections, she became the next penny dreadful author for a publication and her fandom kept asking for more. However, some of her stories became reality and Detective Chief Inspector Harrison needed to solve the mysteries. Whodunit? Was it someone who was present at her publisher’s house party or was it one of her fans? Things got even more real when she herself was in danger.
If you love small town romances with Viking history in northern Scotland and kindness karma, “Once a Laird,” book six in the Rogues Redeemed series is for you! Kai Douglas Ramsey kept his promise and returned home in time to see his grandfather then take over as Laird. To reacquaint himself with his townsfolk, Signy, the previous Laird’s assistant would accompany him on his visits around the land. Kai finds out how hard live had been and the kindnesses his grandfather showed their people. However, a loan was discovered with a relation Kai didn’t trust and securing the sources for repayment endangered both his and Signy’s lives.
Join us as we discuss a historical mystery and a historical romance, both that had elements of human kindness!
New to Us – Brazen Angel with @bookishlyruby: Elizabeth Boyle is our New-to-Us November author and we are starting from the beginning with her debut book “Brazen Angel!”
The Brazen Angel loved masquerade balls! The balls allowed her to enchant wealthy aristocrats and rob them. When one or two of those “gentlemen” have friend like Giles, Marquess of Trahern, who was bored and had special skills, he too was at the balls trying to catch her in the act.
Who Giles really needed to catch or stop from running away was his future wife that his father chose for him. However, Lady Sophia was hard to catch, she kept duping each family member into thinking she was with one relation, but was off doing something else.
Lady Sophia had other plans before a quick marriage. Giles didn’t have time at the moment to find his betrothed because he had an important mission in France. He went to track down the Brazen Angel who was connected to the death of his friend and colleague, a woman with familiar eyes!
