Sunday's Child #classic#regencyromance

  Sunday’s Child Heroines born on different days of the week. Book 1 a classic Regency Romance rich with period details. Despite loss and past love, self-sacrifice, brutality and honour, will it be possible for Tarrant, who fought in the Napoleonic wars, and Georgianne, whose father and brothers died in battle, to find happiness? Prologue   Hertfordshire, England 1810   Fourteen-year-old, Georgianne Whitley leaned over the banister to watch her aunt’s butler admit a handsome cavalry officer dressed in uniform. One day, her mamma frequently assured her, she would marry such a military man, a member of her dear father’s regiment. Of course, this officer was probably too old to ever be her husband. However, in future, she was sure she would meet someone equally handsome with whom she would fall in love. She giggled. ‘Love is not the main prerequisite for marriage,’ Mamma always claimed. According to her mother, rank, lands, and wealth were more important wher...

Specrtral Evidence by Eileen Charbonneau and Jude Pitman.

 Five out of Five stars review for Spectral Evidence by Eileen Charbonneau and Jude Pitman.   Until I read Spectral Evidence by talented novelists Eileen Charbonneau and Jude Pitman, I did not know what the title meant. A definition of it   is “evidence based on the dreams and visions of the accuser.” During the Salem Witch Trials that I knew little about, “it was testimony entered into the court record by witnesses, who testified that a specter spirit came to them in a dream and caused harm to them.” Eileen and Jude draw their readers back to colonists in Newfoundland, who, in 1692,     wanted to stay out of Old World politics. When war was declared between France and England they feared the might of the French navy. Events are experienced through seventeen-year-old Charlotte Jaddore whose Mi’kmaq and Beothuk grandmothers taught her ‘sacred healing arts.’ Will she help her father to save their prosperous American relatives arrested after neighbours acc...

Angel Brave Scifi/fantasy/romance

  I am a fan of Ms Schartz’ scifi/fantasy/romance fiction. Angel Brave fulfilled all my expectations when I read the last line. The talented novelist gives a new twist to the theme of good triumphing over evil, and there is only one word for the plot – brilliant. The Azurans are self-sufficient. They don’t trade with any other planets. The Galactic Trade Alliance, which destroys planets and civilisations for profit, plans to attack Azura to steal magical blue crystal. The resistance movement cannot help Azura if the planet has been infiltrated by the GTA, or something darker, the Stygian Order which could turn the crystal black. Ruthless Clara Beltzer opposes the resistance planets. She is in command of the Resistance Movement and will stop at nothing to control it. Only Azurans see the truth and are against her. Keoke Mahoe’s spaceship slips between Azura’s defences to deliver a message. Lady Valoria, chief of the planet’s avenging angels, admires Keoke’s uncanny ability to ch...
