Thursday's Child #classic#Regency romance

  Thursday’s Child, by Rosemary Morris #Classic#Regency Romance is Book 5 in   the loosely connected series Heroines Born on Different Days of the Week. Margaret does not lack sensibility, but she needs common sense to check her thoughtless remarks, which drive her towards Rochedale, a rake with a mysterious past.   “The background, clothes, the food and drink, and etiquette of the day help to bring the story to vibrant life.”   Sensual romance but the bedroom door remains firmly shut so the reader can enjoy the emerging romance. Rosemary Morris  loves hearing from readers.  Her e-mail address is:- https://srilekharach @hotmail.com To read the first three chapters of her novels please visit her website:-   www.rosemarymorris.co.uk   https://bwlpublishing.ca/morris-rosemary To buy a book click on a book cover to be taken to your favourite online bookstore.                

Christmas Celebrations.

  Whether you spent Christmas with family and/or friends, or alone, I hope you had a merry one. I am blessed by my large family. On Christmas Eve my twin sons, one of daughter-in-law and some of my grandchildren came to drinkk Schlur, have mince pies and cream, and exchange presents. I spent Christmas Day at my daughter's house with her and her two sons and a daughter. We exchanged presents before lunch. Afterward we relaxed. Granddaugther number two was born on Boxing Day. Three of my children, two daughters-in-law and nine children got together. After supper I played a board game with my grandchildren. Must say they all have poweful lungs. I needed ear-plugs when they shouted out answers to questions, but it was great fun.

Monday's Child #classic#Regency Romance

Monday’s Child, a Rosemary Morris #Classic#Regency Romance is Book 1 in her Heroines Born on Different Days of the Week Series. 5 out of 5***** Review by Juliet Waldron                                                                              Regency Addicts Rejoice   Regency addicts rejoice. Everything for the Regency addict here, with a heroine of great beauty but small fortune, all the strategies required for keeping one's place in the "ton," and plenty of interfering relatives. Taking it a little further afield than Jane Austen did, this story is set in 1815 Brussels where all the eligible young men are soldiers in Wellington's army, awaiting an attack by Napoleon. Despite the wartime tension, there's still plenty of time for balls, visiting, and morning gallops. The author knows her stuff, from clothes, to the many strictures of proper behaviour, which seem to us today as limiting as the ladies' underwear. Not only the detail but dialogue too s

The Viscount and The Orphan 5 out of 5* review

Image
        Juliet Waldron   5 out of 5* Review   The Viscount and the Orphan is an engaging entry into the world of 18 th  Century romance, one that has more than one unique plot twists. Gabriel, a breathtakingly handsome Viscount has exploded like a wild thing into adulthood, after spending much of his childhood under the thumb of a strict, avaricious Guardian, his paternal grandfather. Now, Gabriel’s extravagance, womanizing, and other follies have brought him on the edge of ruin. His grandfather decides to force him into marriage with another orphan in his care, a girl who will soon come into her own fortune. Left to the “tender mercies” of this same scheming guardian, Dorinda is just sixteen, raised in a boarding school for young ladies. She has plenty of education, but she is still immature and inexperienced in the ways of the world. Dorinda is also an avid reader – in secret, naturally – of romances and has many unrealistic expectations of love and marriage. Ho
