Goodreads Review

When a time travelling Jane Austen gets stuck in modern-day Bath it’s up to avid Janeite Rose Wallace to save her… because she’s the only one who knows that Jane exists!

Rose Wallace’s world revolves around all things Austen, and with the annual festival in Bath – and the arrival of dishy archaeologist, Dr Aiden Trevellyan – just around the corner, all is well with the world…

But then a mysterious woman who bears more than a passing resemblance to the great author moves in upstairs, and things take a disastrous turn. Rose’s new neighbour is Jane Austen, whose time travel adventure has been sabotaged by a mischievous dog, trapping her in the twenty-first century.

Rose’s life is instantly changed – new home, new job, new friends – but she’s the only one who seems to have noticed! To right the world around her, she will have to do whatever it takes to help Jane get back home to write Rose’s beloved novels. Because a world without Mr Darcy? It’s not worth living in!

My Review: Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Such a charming story that gives us the possibility of meeting Jane Austen someday. The thought of being able to time travel with the iconic Jane Austen is truly amazing. She is an idol to so many people, me being one of them. Pride and Prejudice being my favorite novel.
I loved the characters in this story. Morgan being from the US was so much fun. Rose and Morgan were the perfect friends. They were always looking out for each other, which reminding me of the bond between Jane and her sister Cassandra. Their bond was so close their whole life it portrays beautifully on the characters of Morgan and Rose, plus Jane and her interaction with her sister in the past. This story couldn’t run short of romance. Dr. Aiden and James were the perfect guys that you would find in a Austen novel. They were both dreamy, smart, shy but with hidden feelings.
If you love Jane Austen and you want to re-live the Jane Austen Festival, then this book has all those amazing events, costumes, plus meeting Jane Austen and getting lost in another century with her. You will get a little stress with the possibility of not ever having those amazing novels we all have loved, but will you be happily surprised at the quick actions these characters have. This has a continuation so more Jane Austen adventures.

Author Biography from https://tabbycow.com/about/

We are two friends who love to write together!

One of us has lived in California all her life, and the other has lived in three different countries, and our paths would never have crossed if it hadn’t been for a certain boy wizard (thank you J.K. Rowling)!

We’d both been dabbling in writing all our lives, but after we met in 2002 on a Harry Potter forum, it didn’t take long for us to decide we’d love to try our hands at co-writing some fan fiction together – and soon after, we realised we had something special – to us, at least – totally contrasting writing styles and methods which somehow, for some reason, just gelled!

Disapparating from Harry’s world into Regency England, we dabbled with co-writing Austen-inspired fan fiction for a while before real life left us little time (or coherent brain power) for writing.

In early 2015, we picked up our virtual pens again, however, and after a crazy, hilarious and ultimately rewarding few years, we’re finally ready to share the fruits of our labour in a series of uplifting, comedic tales of time travel, love and friendship.

The eBook of The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen was published by Canelo Digital Publishing on 12th September 2019, and the sequel follows on 7th November.

The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen is also available in paperback.

We hope you will enjoy reading our stories as much as we enjoy writing them!

Thank you Kensington for having me read and review book. This book is filled with magic. Looking forward to joining this kingdom. Review will be posted at a later time when I finish reading it.

The Paris Hours by Alex George

Goodreads Blurb

One day in the City of Lights. One night in search of lost time.

Paris between the wars teems with artists, writers, and musicians, a glittering crucible of genius. But amidst the dazzling creativity of the city’s most famous citizens, four regular people are each searching for something they’ve lost.

Camille was the maid of Marcel Proust, and she has a secret: when she was asked to burn her employer’s notebooks, she saved one for herself. Now she is desperate to find it before her betrayal is revealed. Souren, an Armenian refugee, performs puppet shows for children that are nothing like the fairy tales they expect. Lovesick artist Guillaume is down on his luck and running from a debt he cannot repay—but when Gertrude Stein walks into his studio, he wonders if this is the day everything could change. And Jean-Paul is a journalist who tells other people’s stories, because his own is too painful to tell. When the quartet’s paths finally cross in an unforgettable climax, each discovers if they will find what they are looking for.

Told over the course of a single day in 1927, The Paris Hours takes four ordinary people whose stories, told together, are as extraordinary as the glorious city they inhabit. 

Bronte’s Mistress by Finola Austin

Goodreads Blurb

“A beautifully written, highly seductive debut….The chemistry between Branwell and Lydia positively crackles on the page….Masterful storytelling which is sure to delight fans of the Brontës and of historical fiction.” –Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter

This dazzling debut novel for fans of Mrs. Poe and Longbourn explores the scandalous historical love affair between Branwell Brontë and Lydia Robinson, giving voice to the woman who allegedly corrupted her son’s innocent tutor and brought down the entire Brontë family.

Yorkshire, 1843: Lydia Robinson—mistress of Thorp Green Hall—has lost her precious young daughter and her mother within the same year. She returns to her bleak home, grief-stricken and unmoored. With her teenage daughters rebelling, her testy mother-in-law scrutinizing her every move, and her marriage grown cold, Lydia is restless and yearning for something more.

All of that changes with the arrival of her son’s tutor, Branwell Brontë, brother of her daughters’ governess, Miss Anne Brontë and those other writerly sisters, Charlotte and Emily. Branwell has his own demons to contend with—including living up to the ideals of his intelligent family—but his presence is a breath of fresh air for Lydia. Handsome, passionate, and uninhibited by social conventions, he’s also twenty-five to her forty-three. A love of poetry, music, and theatre bring mistress and tutor together, and Branwell’s colorful tales of his sisters’ elaborate play-acting and made-up worlds form the backdrop for seduction.

But Lydia’s new taste of passion comes with consequences. As Branwell’s inner turmoil rises to the surface, his behavior grows erratic and dangerous, and whispers of their passionate relationship spout from her servants’ lips, reaching all three protective Brontë sisters. Soon, it falls on Lydia to save not just her reputation, but her way of life, before those clever girls reveal all her secrets in their novels. Unfortunately, she might be too late.

Meticulously researched and deliciously told, Brontë’s Mistress is a captivating reimagining of the scandalous affair that has divided Brontë enthusiasts for generations and an illuminating portrait of a courageous, sharp-witted woman who fights to emerge with her dignity intact.

The Joyce Girl by Annabel Abbs

Goodreads Blurb

Paris 1928. Lucia, the talented and ambitious daughter of James Joyce, is making a name for herself as a dancer, training with many famous dancers of her day and moving in social circles which throw her into contact with Samuel Beckett. Convinced she has clairvoyant powers, she believes her destiny is to marry Beckett, but the overbearing shadow of her father threatens this vision. Caught between her own ambitions and desires, and her parents’ demands, Lucia faces both emotional and psychological struggles that attract the attention of pioneer psychoanalyst Dr Jung. 

Goodreads Blurb

A chilling tale of psychological suspense and an homage to the thriller genre tailor-made for fans: the story of a bookseller who finds himself at the center of an FBI investigation because a very clever killer has started using his list of fiction’s most ingenious murders.

Years ago, bookseller and mystery aficionado Malcolm Kershaw compiled a list of the genre’s most unsolvable murders, those that are almost impossible to crack—which he titled “Eight Perfect Murders”—chosen from among the best of the best including Agatha Christie’s A. B. C. Murders, Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers on a Train, Ira Levin’s Death Trap, A. A. Milne’s Red House Mystery, Anthony Berkeley Cox’s Malice Aforethought, James M. Cain’s Double Indemnity, John D. Macdonald’s The Drowner, and Donna Tartt’s A Secret History.

But no one is more surprised than Mal, now the owner of the Old Devils Bookshop in Boston, when an FBI agent comes knocking on his door one snowy day in February. She’s looking for information about a series of unsolved murders that look eerily similar to the killings on Mal’s old list. And the FBI agent isn’t the only one interested in this bookseller who spends almost every night at home reading. The killer is out there, watching his every move—a diabolical threat who knows way too much about Mal’s personal history, especially the secrets he’s never told anyone, even his recently deceased wife.

To protect himself, Mal begins looking into possible suspects—and sees a killer in everyone around him. But Mal doesn’t count on the investigation leaving a trail of death in its wake. Suddenly, a series of shocking twists leaves more victims dead—and the noose around Mal’s neck grows so tight he might never escape. 

My Review: Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A twisted murder mystery that I guarantee will drag you right in to this insane plot. Do you really believe that you can murder someone and get away with it? Could there be a copycat recreating the eight perfect murders from a blog post? These are the best stories that will for sure leave no trail of their being any murder. Peter is a wonderful story teller. He brings us a story in which the narrator isn’t as innocent as you’re lead to belief. You get to learn that Malcolm has secrets, and he didn’t have the perfect wife, but everyone felt bad for him after her death.

It was an easy story to read and learn about the hidden past that is slowly unraveled throughout the story. Sometimes doors can be opened in which you can never return to close them. Revenge plays a huge rule in this story. It unravels a triangle of secrets that will slowly combine murders leading them to Malcolm. Can Malcolm find the killer before it’s too late? Malcolm is a murder mystery book lover until the very end. The ending will finish the link of the Eight Perfect Murders. This thriller will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Scars & Sins
by Melanie Munton
(Brooklyn Brothers, #2)
Publication date: March 31st 2020
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis:

We are the Rossetti’s.
The exiled “sixth” family of the New York mafia. We’re the good guys.
People don’t fear us…much. They respect us.
The five of us? We’re the Brooklyn Brothers.
And we protect what’s ours.

You know when you have a little sister and she has that one friend that always follows you around like a puppy? For me, that was Roxanna “Roxy” D’Angelo. That was years ago, back when our fathers didn’t hate each other. Then they became enemies and she went off to boarding school in Connecticut.

Now, she’s back…and looking nothing like the shy girl I remember.

Cavorting with anyone from the five families is strictly forbidden to someone like me. So, I can’t figure out why I keep finding myself in situations with Roxy that could bring the force of the entire mafia syndicate down on our heads. Even if those situations are the wildest, most intoxicating experiences of my life.

But with the Sicilians in town and out for blood, times have never been more dangerous. If they find out about our relationship, they won’t hesitate to remove both of us from the equation so they can restore order.

We’re not Romeo and Juliet. They both died. And I refuse to let anything happen to Roxy. I have to protect her. From my family. From hers.

I hope she won’t hate me for what I have to do.
Because it might just kill her before any bullet can.

Joey
 
I wouldn’t say I ran away exactly—twenty-two is too old for that.
 
I’d call it self-preservation.
 
I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next door who has no clue I’ve loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat to his revolving bedroom door.
 
My escape plan almost worked.
 
Except I left one thing behind.
 
Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and now it’s time to get it back. This time for good.
 
 
Logan
 
I wouldn’t say I’ve been lying this whole time—not about everything.

She’s the last person I ever expected to ghost me, and her absence left a gaping hole in my chest.
 
When Joey Grayson steps off that bus, I know I’ll do anything to keep her home, and that means finding out the truth.
