I enjoy a good time-traveling romance and was delighted to receive a copy of Taken by E.C. Roderick. This is the first in the Taken series and tells the story of Sylvina and what happens when she steps into a time slip. While not without flaws, it was a solid start to the series.
I love historical fiction steeped in history, so how could I resist, The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher. The author shares a peek into the life of American Sylvia Beach, who opened a bookstore/lending library called Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris. Famous authors, lovers and one woman’s efforts to see a banned book published. Grab a cuppa and see why book lovers need to add this to their bookshelf.
I loved the idea of a female undertaker in Victorian London solving murders and was delighted to begin Lady of Ashes by Christine Trent. Narrated by Polly Lee, the tale delivered mystery, history and a side of romance as our protagonist suspects death by unnatural causes. Grab a cup of hot cocoa and see why I recommend this first in series.
Fortune Favors the Dead & Murder Under Her Skin by Stephen Spotswood are the first two audiobooks in the Pentecost and Parker historical fiction mystery series. Murder-mysteries, friendship, snark and adventure await you in this marvelous series! Grab a cuppa and see why I recommend these for audio.
I am enjoying Kelley Armstrong’s historical time travel fantasy series, A Stitch in Time, and was delighted to read the holiday novella Snowstorms & Sleigh Bells featuring the couples from the first two novels. Romance, adventure and the magic of Christmas await you…
