Of Mortal Fury: A Medieval Romance (The Executioner Knights #11) by Kathryn Le Veque. Historical Romance & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS



When Morgan de Wolfe, commander of Richmond Castle, is called by his liege Caius d’Avignon (Winter of Solace) into the full-fledged world of the Executioner Knights to go deep under cover, a de Wolfe becomes a Wolfe in sheep’s clothing for the sake of William Marshal and his spy ring.
Will a de Wolfe be the greatest Executioner Knight of all?

Morgan de Wolfe, cousin to Edward de Wolfe, Earl of Wolverhampton (and father of William de Wolfe of 
The Wolfe), finds himself the perfect man for an Executioner Knight’s job. Assuming the identity of a dead man, he makes his way to the Welsh border to infiltrate his way into a castle stolen by a Marshal enemy. His task is to use the dead man’s identity to reclaim the castle.
What he didn’t count on was a woman who could quite possibly ruin his mission.
And possibly even his life.

Amarantha de la Haye’s father assumed control of Mount Grace when King John betrayed the owners and confiscated the castle. Unaware of how, exactly, her father came to command the mighty castle and control its silver mine, Amarantha has lived in peace at Mount Grace, an educated and clever young woman but finds herself a pawn of her ambitious father. When a chance meeting with Morgan sees sparks fly between the two of them, she has no idea that she will be the key to Morgan’s mission… and possibly her own destruction.
The Wolfe fangs are sharpening.
Join Morgan and Amarantha on a complex journey of lies, deceit, betrayal, and ultimately the power of love. Will Morgan obey William Marshal? Or will he obey his heart?
Of Mortal Fury is part of the USA Today bestselling Executioner Knights series.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Morgan de Wolfe is given an undercover mission by The Marshal.  A castle was stolen and it assets are too valuable to be left in the enemy's hands.  It's Morgan's job to see it returned to The Marshal's control.  
Amarantha de la Haye knows her father is not always the fair and benevolent man he shows her. Apart from pressuring her to marry he normally let's her do as she likes.  
This is a wonderful medieval romance from an author who excels in her craft.  She always brings us characters to fall in love with,  and stories we can get our teeth into.  Those of us who have read her books before will know the family names,  but each book is totally different from any other.  
There are plenty of giggles to be had, especially in the taverns where battle hardened warriors behave like silly schoolboys. Even one of the tavern signs will bring a giggle.  There are also vicious battles,  lots of danger and even a little sex.  
I loved every page and can't wait for more.

Once Upon a Duke's Wish (The Duke’s Lost Treasures #1) by Lana Williams. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS



An earl shadowed by the past meets a lady determined to start anew.

Ella Wright brings her two younger sisters to London after the tragic death of their treasure-hunting father on Oak Island, hoping to secure their futures. But the city presents new challenges, the first of which is convincing their estranged grandfather, the intimidating Duke of Rothwood, to take them in. Then their father’s journal detailing his search for pirate treasure is stolen, and Ella has no idea who to trust.

Leo Stanton, the Earl of Marbury, is alarmed when he hears three ladies claiming to be Rothwood’s granddaughters have arrived in London. Fearing the man who’s been like a grandfather to him is being taken advantage of, he rushes to Rothwood’s side to find three beauties under his roof and their father’s questionable scribbles missing.

Given Leo’s expertise in pirate artifacts, the duke requests his assistance to find the stolen journal. Leo reluctantly agrees, though he thinks Ella’s father was a fool. While he can’t ignore his resentment of past events, one heated kiss with Ella convinces him that more is at stake than a notebook.

Ella knows the pain pursuing a dream can cause, yet her growing attraction for Leo can’t be denied. Dare she trust him in her quest to regain her father’s journal along with her love, or will fate demand payment for the past? 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Since the recent death of her father, Ella Wright has brought her two sisters to England in the hopes that their grandfather will take them in.  Their mother eloped with their treasure hunter father years ago and had no further contact with her family.  
Leo Stanton,  Earl of Marbury is worried about an old friend,  and will do anything to protect him and his own family from heartache. 
This is a lovely historical romance with a good mystery to solve.  Our characters have to face a past that's not of their making before the future can be seen. One or two persons decisions can affect the lives of many. 
Emotional and fun with fabulous characters.  This is the first book in a series of stand alone stories.  I will definitely be reading the rest.  
Great fun.

The Fury of a Storme (The Storme Brothers #6) by Sandra Sookoo. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS


Not all storms cause destruction and chaos. Some make new paths and bring clarity. The difference is found within.
The Honorable Caroline Storme has been furious with life since she was twelve. Sent to an asylum due to a suspected mental deficiency, she has finally returned to London, not with vengeance in mind but freedom. Wanting nothing more than to pursue her passions in peace, she vows to ignore everyone around her, until she meets the one man who understands her… a big, barrel-chested sailor with tattoos and a devastating grin.
Mr. John Butler is in London to reconnect with his drunken, baron father before the man pickles himself. The family holdings are deeply in debt and decay, but he doesn’t care about them. Sailing holds his heart as well as his easy, carefree existence in Ipswich. That is until he runs into a woman in Hyde Park. There’s a quiet strength about her but also a banked fury that stokes his own… a woman with stormy eyes and a mouth that’s begging to be kissed.
When London proves too much for them both, John is quick to offer a solution: a marriage of convenience despite vehement protests from the Storme clan. It will give her freedom as well as settling his future.
But his blackguard of a father threatens the hasty union that is suddenly filled with affection and primal desire, the sacrifices offered might be too high for either of them to pay once love is involved.
The Storme Brothers
The Soul of a Storme
The Heart of a Storme
The Look of a Storme
The Sting of a Storme
The Touch of a Storme
The Fury of a Storme


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Caroline Storme was commited to an asylum when she was still a child.  After twenty years and the death of her father,  her cousin brought her home.  However because the family have trouble understanding how she communicates, she feels that she has really just changed to a more guilded prison. 
John Butler is the best friend of one of the Storme cousins.  He can see that Caroline just needs someone to free her to be herself.  There is only one way to help her.  
Our hero has his own demons to put to rest.  He's not comfortable mixing with the "ton". He's much happier as a working man.  Can our heroine cope outside of the protection of her well meaning family??.  
This is a very unusual and emotional  historical romance,  filled with wonderful characters and humour.  Even only as far back as Queen Victoria's Reign,  if someone was just a little "different", their families would lock them away from society.  It took people like our hero to see past the differences to the person inside.  
This book can be read on it's own, but I personally think it more enjoyable to read the series in order.  The Stormes are a volatile family.  
Good fun.

Unmasking the Thief (Pleasure Garden #5) by Mary Lancaster. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To

GOODREADS




Thief or gentleman, he is uniquely dangerous!

Governess Matty Mather has grown to love her pupils of the Dove family. When a borrowed ring is stolen from Catherine Dove and her friend, now in their first London Season, the redoubtable Matty goes alone to Maida Pleasure Gardens to confront the thief – who turns out to be outrageous, charming and utterly mysterious.

Francisco de Salgado has been long employed by the British government to take care of insoluble problems, both home and abroad. Returning to England to resign before he loses his soul entirely, he accepts one final mission that he regards as both foolish and beneath him. Making a rare mistake, he returns to Maida to right it – only to be faced with a severe young woman demanding he return the ring he stole.

So begins an attraction that is both unwise and irresistible. Mutual suspicion dissolves eventually into an alliance to discover who is behind a plot to overthrow the British government and why. And the eventual solution will involve several old friends from the previous Pleasure Garden books.



Read Free in Kindle Unlimited!


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Miss Matty Mathers is very happy in her work as a governess,  much to the dismay of her mother and sister.  One of the girls she looks after comes to her with a problem.  Hopefully Matty can help her.  
Mr Francis has worked for the English Crown for many years, even though England is not the land of his birth.  He can blend into many situations. Our hero is feeling the pressure from his way of life and gets a little careless.  
A very exciting historical romance with a mystery to solve.  This book is part of a series and if you have read any of the previous stories you will recognise some of the characters.  However you can easily enjoy each book on it's own.  They are all full of fabulous characters and lots fun.  
I have loved all of them.

Highland Justice (Sons of Sinclair #3) by Heather McCollum. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


Without mercy, there is no love in this third installment of the Sons of Sinclair historical romance series by award-winning author Heather McCollum.

Gideon Sinclair, the third Sinclair brother, judges everything in stark terms of good and evil. There is nothing in between, and he is efficient at passing judgment without mercy. Now that his clan has conquered the warring MacKays, Gideon starts the process of integrating them into the Sinclair Clan. He will sort the people, punish the bad, and better the lives of the good. Judging is as easy to him as breathing, until he meets Christina MacKay, who steals his breath...along with his Sinclair ring.

A young widow, Christina MacKay has given her life over to helping the orphaned children in the clan. But love won’t put shoes on their cold feet and food in their stomachs. Christina tired years ago of seeing the rich get richer and the poor suffer more and more, so she decided to do something about it. An agile thief of the rich by night, when she is caught, the new conquering chief must decide her fate.

When Gideon realizes that the thief is the same woman who had already captured his attention, he hesitates for the first time in his life. Letting her get away with her deed leads to more trouble when she is accused of stealing from King James and is arrested. Now Gideon must commit his own crime against the Scottish crown if he is to save Christina. But can a man who was raised to honor and uphold justice break the law for the woman who’s stolen his heart?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Gideon Sinclair is the third of the an brothers.  The MacKay clan has been conquered and he is in the process of trying to bring peace between them and the Sinclairs.  Known as the Horseman of Justice he will use his knowledge of law and many years training to judge the actions of others.  Our hero tends to see people as right or wrong, no inbetween.  He is the ultimate judge. 
Cait MacKay is a young widow who has taken in orphaned or abandoned children.  She will do anything to keep them fed and healthy,  even if it means breaking the law.  Our heroine has a few very surprising talents.  Keeping her children out of trouble is not one of them unfortunately. 
A marvelous, action packed historical romance.  Wonderful characters that will keep you hooked in the story from the first to last page.  You can read this book on it's own, but I personally think that it's better to read as a series in order.  Just because there is so much happening it can't fit into one book.  You will definitely want to know about the other Horseman brothers.  
I loved it.

Craved by a Wolf (Eternal Mates #20) by Felicity Heaton. Paranormal Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


Hella is one witch who is done with relationships. Having rid herself of a clingy nymph, she’s determined to stay single and savour everything her fae town in Geneva has to offer—with no strings attached. The trouble is, it turns out breaking up with a king isn’t as easy as she’d thought. Her ex just sent a legion to kidnap her and take her to the faerie realm of Lucia.

And he wants to make her his queen.

Grant MacKinnon is one wolf shifter who prefers a quiet life. His home in a glen in Scotland, his small wolf pack, and fine whisky is all he needs. The trouble is, a witch in the fae town in Fort William just cursed him to die if he doesn’t find his fated mate and bring her to her. Now he craves a female he’s never met, one he was convinced didn’t exist, and he refuses to believe she’s really his one true mate… until he sets eyes on the beautiful blue-haired lass.

And his wolf instincts howl that she was made for him.

And when he realises she’s in danger and another male wants her as his queen, MacKinnon will stop at nothing to protect her and claim her as his mate.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Alpha wolf shifter Grant MacKinnon has been cursed by a witch.  This is going to cause our hero and his wolf some terrible stress and heartache.  He faces the frustration of being a very strong Alpha, unable to do what he needs,  or at times even move.  
Hella is a very independent witch with a very serious problem of her own.  The last thing our heroine needs or wants is another possessive male trying to control her.  
This is a sexy,  action packed, paranormal romance.  It's filled with very exciting, magical battles and lots of giggles.  As usual with this author,  the fight scenes are so realistic you'll be ducking for cover.  If you've read any of the other books in this series you will have met some of the characters before.  You can easily read this book on it's own, but it will definitely get you hooked, and you will go and buy lots more from this author.  Every one of her books is just as exciting and the rest.  
I loved it.

WolfeShield (De Wolfe Pack Generations #6) by Kathryn Le Veque. Medieval Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


Sometimes, men are impulsive in life and love. When Ronan de Wolfe, son of James de Wolfe (A Wolfe Among Dragons), marries young and impulsively, the consequences will prove to be disastrous when he meets the love of his life.

Will de Wolfe honor stand the test? Or will true love crush a man of good character?


Ronan de Wolfe, the mild-mannered but powerful son of James de Wolfe, married on a whim against the advice of his father and grandfather. He married into the powerful Northumberland de Grey family, a family that rivals the House of de Wolfe in both strength and wealth. Coerced by a cunning de Grey father, Ronan found himself married before he knew what happened.

The years pass. Ronan is married and miserable. His wife has lovers, shaming both houses. Children are born, but they are not Ronan’s. With some measure of peace on the England/Scotland borders, Ronan amuses himself in local tournaments to get away from his horrible home life. Along with his best friend, they enjoy celebrity status of the great tournament champions, but when his friend is mortally wounded and asks Ronan to take care of his pregnant wife, the situation changes drastically.

Ronan meets the woman he should have married.

Isabeth de Brito is a beautiful woman from a minor noble family. Pregnant with her dead husband’s child, she and Ronan form a strong friendship as he tends to her every need, but in Ronan’s case, it is much more. Friendship turns to love. When Ronan’s petty, foolish wife realizes Ronan is paying attention to another woman, innocent as it is, the claws come out. Her powerful family can ruin Isabeth and her family—permanently.

When Ronan’s father is forced into finding Isabeth another husband, Ronan can only stand by and watch the woman he loves as she is courted by another man.

Will there be a happily ever after for Ronan and Isabeth? Or will Ronan have to watch his love marry another?

It’s another wild ride for de Wolfe Pack Generations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


As a young man Ronan de Wolfe was seduced by a high born woman and forced by her powerful family to marry her.  This has proved to be a disaster for him.  He is a proud and honourable man who keeps his vows.  Unfortunately everyone knows his wife is completely opposite.  None of her three daughters belong to him, and she sleeps with any man who takes her fancy.  
Our hero tries his best to ignore his wife's behaviour, but there will come a time he can't.  
Isabeth de Brito married young.  Her husband worships the ground she walks on,  and she is a grateful and obedient wife.  When her husband dies unexpectedly her life changes drastically. Our heroine might have been treated like fragile glass,  but she is anything but.  Her fire irons occasionally come in handy. 
This is a wonderful medieval romance with characters that you will fall in love with easily.  You will need the box of tissues handy.  Our author has the habit of wringing every drop of emotion out of us be it laughter or tears. This book certainly does that.  The de Wolfe family will be very well known to regular readers of this author,  but each family member has a very different story,  and every book is original, thoroughly entertaining and impossible to put down.  You will be very surprised at how this particular love story unfolds. 
An absolutely fabulous book.  
I loved every page.

A Governess of Wise Years (The Governess Bureau #6) by Emily E.K. Murdoch. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


The Governess Bureau is about to close – but Miss Vivienne Clarke has one chance to redeem it, and herself.

Scandal. Intrigue. Love matches. The Governess Bureau was never supposed to be full of these things, but over the last few years, no fewer than five matches have been made.

It’s something the proprietress, Miss Vivienne Clarke, simply cannot allow to continue.

With only one client remaining for the previously esteemed Governess Bureau now it has been called into disrepute, Vivienne has no choice but to take on the assignment herself; Caring for the daughter of Edwin, Viscount Bysshe.
It would be so much easier if she had not turned down his offer of marriage fifteen years ago.

Edwin wouldn’t consider himself a man who carries a grudge, he just wants to prove to the world that Miss Clarke is incompetent and her whole Bureau idea is a scam. After all, she chose it over him all those years ago. Besides, he has secrets to hide about his daughter, and her mysterious origins.

All Vivienne wants to do is salvage her reputation, restore her business, and return to London with her heart intact.
She’s a governess of wise years, but is that enough to save herself from even more heartbreak?


This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Miss Vivienne Clarke is very upset.  After so many of the employees from her Governess Bureau have broken her rules,  the business and herself are being blamed and destroyed in the gossip sheets.  She has one more post to fill and only the last governess.  This will be either the end, or recovery of her life's work. 
Edwin Viscount Bysshe and his daughter can't seem to agree on anything, not even what she calls him.  It's time for her to have a governess. Whether she wants one or not.  
Our lead characters have a personal history that is going to cause all sorts of problems.  
A lively and amusing historical romance that is the final instalment of a fabulous series of stand alone stories.  I have read and enjoyed every one of them.  
I'm looking forward to what ever this author will bring us next.  
Great fun.

Ruff Justice ( Ruff Wooing #2) by Anna Markland. Historical Romance (Tudor) Release & ARC Review.

Add To


Like his father and brother before him, Julian Hawke is a well-respected London goldsmith—and an informant for Elizabeth Tudor’s Spymaster. But he craves the challenge of a more significant role in espionage. As part of a plan to trap the imprisoned Mary of Scotland in treasonous activities, he is sent to France as a double agent. His mission is to deliver false documents to the exiled Thomas Morcant, one of the Scottish queen’s stalwart supporters and a suspect in the attempted murder of Julian’s brother.
Things go awry in Paris when Julian meets Morcant’s sister. He is drawn to her but assumes she has come to France as a courier for Mary.

Sara Morcant has travelled to Paris in a last-ditch effort to dissuade her older brother from involvement in the plot to put the Scottish queen on the English throne. She finds herself falling for Julian Hawke but, when she discovers he has met with her brother, fears he must be a courier for the traitors plotting Elizabeth’s overthrow.

Untangling the web of intrigue in which they are mired could implicate them both in the deadly plot to assassinate Elizabeth Tudor and lead to arrest and execution.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Julian Hawke is a talented Goldsmith and like his father and brother before him, an informer for the Crown. Unfortunately the Queen's spy master pushes him to get a bit more than just information this time.  
Our hero is not really cut out for the work of a spy, but nobody can say no when the spy master calls. 
Sara Morcant and her little brother are in Paris to see their older brother who has been imprisoned in the Bastille. Our heroine is trying to make her brother see how much danger he has put them all in, but he's a very stubborn man. 
This is an action packed historical romance is set in Queen Elizabeth's troubled Reign.  The politics of the time and the troubles caused by religion are very well described and make for exciting reading.  Our sexy hero has his own secrets to hide.  
This is the second book in the series but as there are a few years between the settings, you don't need to have read the first to enjoy this one.  It would help to understand the relationship our goldsmiths have with the spy master though.  
I loved it.

I’m a Canadian author with a keen interest in genealogy. I write medieval romance about family honour, ancestry, and roots. My novels are intimate love stories full of passion and adventure.

Passion conquers whatever obstacles a hostile medieval world can throw in its path. My page-turning adventures have earned me a place on Amazon’s All-Star list.

Besides writing, I have two addictions-crosswords and genealogy, probably the reason I love research. I am a fool for cats. My husband is an entrepreneur who is fond of boasting he’s never had a job.

I live on Canada’s scenic west coast now, but I was born and raised in the UK and I love breathing life into the history of my homeland.
