Blog Tour: Chaos at Carnegie Hall by Kelly Oliver

Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey in the Fiona Figg and Kitty Lane Mystery series opener.

Can Fiona catch a killer and find a decent cup of tea before her mustache wax melts?

1917. New York.

Notorious spy, Fredrick Fredricks, has invited Fiona to Carnegie Hall to hear a famous soprano. It’s an opportunity the War Office can’t turn down. Fiona and Clifford are soon on their way, but not before Fiona is saddled with chaperon duties for Captain Hall’s niece. Is Fiona a spy or a glorified babysitter?
From the minute Fiona meets the soprano aboard the RMS Adriatic it’s treble on the high C’s. Fiona sees something—or someone—thrown overboard, and then she overhears a chemist plotting in German with one of her own countrymen!

And the trouble doesn’t stop when they disembark. Soon Fiona is doing time with a group of suffragettes and investigating America’s most impressive inventor Thomas Edison.

When her number one suspect turns up dead at the opera and Fredrick Fredricks is caught red-handed, it looks like it’s finally curtains for the notorious spy. But all the evidence points to his innocence. Will Fiona change her tune and clear her nemesis’ name? Or will she do her duty? And just what is she going to do with the pesky Kitty Lane? Not to mention swoon-worthy Archie Somersby . . .

If Fiona’s going to come out on top, she’s going to have to make the most difficult decision of her life: the choice between her head and her heart.

Review

 Despite being billed as the first in the series, it feels like we come into this series with plots already in progress. Plucky Fiona Figg is constantly belittled by her male coworkers at the war office but is nonetheless sent to follow a potential German spy to America. Armed with a suitcase of disguises and pressed into service as chaparone to a bright young woman, she finds herself caught up with historical figures and embroiled in a murder. 

I loved this take on the historical period as we explore how the rest of the world fared. World War One rages in Europe and sits behind everyone's motives, but America is far from the front lines and life continues on. I wouldn't want to visit the time but it's certainly fascinating! The (period appropriate) misogyny Fiona faces make me grit my teeth. Fiona isn't always the most perceptive - despite her photographic memory - so there are plenty of red herrings and it did seem that everyone got very distracted. Although the mystery ended up solved, it didn't seem to matter as much as setting up the series. However, I'm not sure I care enough about the characters to read what they do next.

Review

This is a bittersweet angsty romance about emerging from the shadow of grief. Poor Lily has been happy enough pottering her widowhood away, but her brother offers her spare room to an old friend (cheeky!). Lily once had a thing for Jack but she's gotten very used to the safety of solitude.

I'd better set out a warning for the traumatic loss of a spouse and some suicidal ideation - despite the cheerful cover there's some heavy stuff in here. Lily starts the story as a successful recluse, having withdrawn to grieve. Her brother and sister-in-law have a bad habit of ignoring her boundaries and shoving her outside her comfort zone. Their love and care is touching but isn't the only way to support someone who is grieving - and Jack joins in almost as soon as he moves in. Fortunately, with their encouragement and support, Lily starts to face the world again.

I enjoyed the slowly growing friendship between Lily and Jack as they got to know one another again. Lily is witty and always ready to skewer Jack with a one-liner; Jack is ready to give as good as he gets and is more than able to stand his ground. I absolutely adored how his skills matched what Lily needed - and the restoration of her garden in line with the rebuilding of her life. Clive is, of course, adorable, as can only be expected of a golden retriever.

Best enjoyed in view of a garden - well tended or otherwise! If you're looking for a romance with a bit more emotional weight, come give this one a try.

Blog Tour: Finding Love on Sunshine Island by Georgina Troy

Welcome to the Sunshine Island - where the beaches are golden, the lifestyle is perfect and anything is possible.

Piper Le Brocq is happily single after the disastrous ending of her engagement eighteen months before. The only man in her life is Jax, her best friend and cousin, who spends his life teaching locals how to forage and taking tourists on boat trips around the island. Her days are filled with helping out at her mother's guest house and selling her glass mosaics at The Cabbage Patch emporium in Trinity.

Piper loves living on the Sunshine Island, where the neighbours look out for each other and visitors are welcome. So, when handsome guest Alex Cooper arrives at the guest house to check up on his grandfather, she welcomes him to the sunny island. And when he needs help after his grandfather is injured, she's quick to get involved.

Yet, the more she gets to know Alex the more mysterious he seems, and Alex isn't the only one keeping secrets from her.

Review

This is a light and sweet holiday romance between Piper, native of Jersey, and Alex who comes to stay at her family’s guesthouse. Sparks fly from the very beginning, but Piper’s been hurt before and is reluctant to take a chance on another relationship, especially with someone who lives on the mainland.

Piper’s awful past experience has left her understandably distrustful of men, but matters aren’t helped by meddlesome family on both sides. There’s a great bond between Piper, her mother, and her grandmother, but it does mean they sometimes have trouble taking no for an answer. I did find the subplot with Piper’s gran and Alex’s grandfather fascinating and an interesting contrast to the romance between the respective grandchildren. 

In addition to a romance, this book does double duty as an advertisement and travel guide to Jersey as Piper shows Alex around. It sounds both beautiful and historically fascinating, I’m left with a serious case of travel envy! I also loved the artistic community at the Cabbage Patch and wish that we got to see more of the people there and Piper’s art.

Review

Maggie Cassidy wants a fresh start. Charlie Mackenzie is worried she's going to interfere with his own. However, falling in love is only the start of their story. If they want more than a summer fling, they're going to have to face the pasts that brought them here to begin with.

There are so many little details about this story that are just so cool. Firstly, the setting - even more remote than a village, Bramble Island is a natural reserve popular with summer holidaymakers but deserted in the winter, as a setting it was almost a character of its own and I loved how it tied in directly with the leads - Maggie is the new park manager and Charlie the forester. Both rare jobs in romances, I love the care that they give to the plant life of Bramble Island and how it brings them together. It's clear that it's not some job pasted on to make sure the characters don't starve, but an integral part of their characterisation and the plot. Even Charlie's past job is given meaning and nuance when he must decide what path he truly wants to take.

There are lots of obstacles in their way - almost everything mentioned in their backstories comes back to bite them, sometimes more than once, and their relationship and communication skills are really put to the test again and again. I appreciated when Maggie put strong boundaries out, as painful as they were, and that it forced them to reassess their feelings and priorities.

Best enjoyed surrounded by nature - if you can make it into native bush, all the better - this is a story about finding the strength to face your past and make better choices.

Publication Day: Secrets Behind The Billionaire's Return (including international giveaway)

Find out what happens when a billionaire returns to Felicity’s life in book one of Rachael Stewart’s new duet, Claiming the Ferrington Empire, from Harlequin Romance. 

The man she never forgot…

The feelings she never lost…

Sixteen years ago, Felicity fell in love with the boy from Ferrington Manor. But their affair was short-lived when Sebastian vanished and she was left with the secret consequence of their love. Now he’s back and his return sends shock waves through Felicity! Will the revelations about Sebastian’s departure be enough for Felicity to succumb to the feelings that still draw her to him?

Review

In a small town in Yorkshire, single mother Felicity is trying to keep her BnB afloat when her first love Sebastian strolls in the door. Only he's not just her first love, he's the father of her beloved daughter, the heir to the grand manor up the road, and now a billionaire hotelier. As Facebook might put things, it's complicated. Felicity and Sebastian must come to terms with their shared past and new present if they are ever going to have a future.

Overall, this was a steamy and romantic read with engaging characters - brooding Sebastian, sensible Felicity, and a special mention to Felicity's daughter Angel, who despite her heavenly name is the most down-to-earth, relatable character. She and Felicity have managed on their own for sixteen years and I felt Angel's entire plotline was understandable and realistic.

Sebastian and Felicity have great chemistry and never truly got over one another, but of course there are obstacles and miscommunications that force them to confront what they really want. I especially liked Felicity standing up for herself and drawing healthy boundaries, and the way they navigated Sebastian's unexplained departure - both the circumstances and what happened afterwards.

I'm sure this will tick many boxes for people - billionaire, second chance, secret baby, even some forced proximity. If any of that sounds like it will hit the spot, I recommend you pick this book up!

An escape to the country

Honeysuckle Rose finds much-needed solace in her great aunt’s garden. But her peace is threatened by her distracting and brooding neighbour, Lucien Grey.

Can their unexpected but impossible-to-ignore midsummer kiss be the beginning of a fresh start…together?

Review

Despite a classic meet-ugly, Lucien Grey and Honeysuckle Rose have more in common than they thought and the electricity between them almost crackles off the page. As their tumultuous relationship moves from verbal sparring to tenderness and care, their rough edges fit together. Knowing and caring for one another helps them both heal and move on, so that I fully believed in their happy ending.

I loved Honey's care for her garden and her infectious passion for rewilding. The love of plants underpins Lucien and Honey's growing relationship, and informs their future. With so many gorgeous flowers and flower-derived goodies, I was dying for a bit of greenery myself!

Sit yourself in the garden (or by the garden!) and enjoy a lovely story about two hurting people healing together.

Beyond by Mercedes Lackey

Before the Arrows of the Queen and the magical companions, there was simply a small Duchy on the edge of sprawling and tyrannical empire. Tantalisingly close to breaking free from the Empire, Duke Kortas Valdemar is summoned to the imperial court. Victory means freedom, but defeat will mean the destruction of everything.

I've read Mercedes Lackey's books for what must be close to a couple of decades. They are always a comfortable read, her writing style familiar and comforting. While Beyond is all of these things, with plenty of details pointing forward to my beloved Valdemar books, there's an awful lot of back and forth discussion and it ends on a bit of an anticlimax. It also felt really quite short.

This will suit long-time readers like myself, but I'm not dying for the next one and I don't know how much appeal it would hold for those unfamiliar with Lackey's Velgarth books.

Beyond is available in ebook or hard copy.

Dogged by Death by Laura Scott

Back in town and struggling to get her veterinary practice off the ground, Ally never expects to find one of her clients with his head bashed in. Suddenly her attempts to grow her client list are complicated by trying to keep her true crime obsessed grandfather from investigating - and the lead detective being an old crush certainly doesn't help the situation.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book - Ally, her grandfather, the three widows he lives with, and Noah, along with the various townspeople. The author did a good job building the town of Willow Bluff and the people in it. Ally's work as a vet is integral to the story and well-explored. I'm definitely interested in reading more!

I was however put off by Ally constantly ignoring Noah's request that she stop investigating - and that this decision is supported by the text. If I was Noah, having a witness constantly interfering with the investigation and accusing you of incompetence would not lead to a date at the end. And for all the conversations and discoveries, it seems like the mystery was solved by accident and would've soon been solved by the police anyway? I guess it felt like a bit of a let-down.

There are the bones of a good series here and it's a solid cosy mystery with an enjoyable theme. Overall, a good read but not an outstanding one. If animal stories are your thing, this would be a good cosy mystery for you.

Dogged by Death is available in ebook and hard copy.

A Hex for Danger by Esme Addison

Aleksandra Daniels is slowly settling into the family business and learning to wield her hidden magic. Her happy life is threatened when a travelling artist is murdered and one of her small circle of friends is the prime suspect. While Alex's investigation is hampered by her boyfriend being the lead detective, it is further complicated by industrial espionage and magical interference. Has Alex cast her last spell?

I found this mystery well put together, with enough clues that it fitted together and enough red herrings to keep me guessing. The solution was clever and well written! Unfortunately, the ongoing story arc totally spoiled the first book (victim, murderer, motive), so heads up for that, this series should not be read out of order. The paranormal added an interesting twist but some of it felt a little confused; it’s definitely building up an ongoing story arc. 

The lead character really frustrated me - mostly on how her detective boyfriend sets down clear and sensible boundaries (both for her safety and his job) and she steps all over them, along with violating her family’s ethics, and doesn’t face any consequences in this book. It also annoyed me that everyone assumed Celeste's guilt over what seemed like very circumstantial evidence - which is fine for the town gossips, but I'd expect the police to look for actual evidence, especially with an incorrect arrest in recent memory.

Overall this was a good read and a well written mystery but there were a few things that bothered me and I'd suggest starting at the first book.

A Hex for Danger is available now in ebook or hard copy.

After Brand Ivarsson of Kald abducts Anne of Termarth on the eve of her wedding, the Viking’s consumed with only one thing: revenge against her loathsome betrothed.

Review

A good romance helps both leads become better people and that's exactly what happens here. Princess Anne of Termarth has led an incredibly sheltered life until Brand Ivarsson sneaks into her father's castle and kidnaps her in a plot against her betrothed. Brand is obsessed with vengeance but Anne helps him see there is more to life and in return he opens her eyes to the world outside.

Despite her neglected childhood, Anne is unwaveringly kind to the people around her - even when it threatens to get her in trouble, and it comes back to her time and time again proving that goodness really is a superpower. Brand is laser focussed on his revenge and caring for his people to the point of being a bit of a jerk to Anne at first, but it's a delight to see them open up to each other. 

There's a lot of obstacles - he was a Dane, she was a Saxon, can I make it any more obvious? But this is an enjoyable story about two very different people connecting across cultural barriers when each need it most. The resolution does feel a little bit too easy given the setting, but it does tie everything up neatly. I hope Svea also gets a happy ending soon!

Best enjoyed with a stein of beer or out on a windswept cliff for the full effect.

Review

For the last three years, Brida O'Connaill has been pretending to be married. When Sir Thomas Lovent arrives on her doorstep, injured and delirious, her neighbours naturally assume he's her husband, finally home. Unfortunately, Tom's attackers are on his tail and it's up to him and Brida to race to Wales to foil a plot against their king.

Brida and Tom's witty banter sparkles as it flies off the page, striking sparks between them, and their attraction is undeniable. It's no surprise that people believe Brida's ruse and helped me believe in their relationship going from irritating acquaintances to friends to lovers. They both carry heavy pasts, though I didn't really get what was up with Brida and the prophecy. Tom is a little easier to understand, even if he did get rather overprotective at times. It was nice to see them bond over shared aspects of their pain, though I feel some of this could've been explored more

The book is stuffed with plot in order to get Tom to Brida and to get them moving and then together. There's also a number of supporting characters from previous books and admit a degree of ignorance about this period of British history so I don't know which, if any, are historical figures. In any case, it's easy to sit back and let the action carry you along, as well as enjoy cameos from previous leads.

Overall, it's an entertaining romance much in the vein of the others in the series. Best enjoyed with a cup of tea where you won't be disturbed.

A Reckless Match by Kate Bateman

With her family on the edge of bankruptcy, Maddie Montgomery's only chance to escape an arranged marriage lies with the Davies family. The two families have feuded for centuries and if they miss sending a representative to their annual meeting, then by royal decree the Montgomerys can claim the contested land. Annoyingly, Gryff Davies shows up - irritatingly handsome and a thorn in Maddie's side since childhood. When they stumble across a smuggling operation, Maddie realises she has a chance to save her family - and find her own happily ever after.

Told in alternating POV, this is an enjoyable enemies-to-lovers with more than a pinch of danger. I especially enjoyed Maddie's chapters as we get to know her family - her father, lost now that the Davies patriach is no longer around to annoy; her cousin Harriet, also targeted by the Davies boys growing up; and her maiden aunts who absolutely steal every scene they're in and aren't nearly as prudish as Maddie assumes. Maddie herself is an awesome heroine who would rather be on an archaeological dig than dealing with Gryff.

Gryff is a little bit more of a lone wolf with his family out of the picture for most of the book, though we see plenty of his brothers in flashbacks. He's your typical rake, rusticating at home while temporarily banished from London for duelling. What did annoy me was the youthful pranks on Maddie and Harriet were actually cruel and not once does Gryff apologise for them. At one point he gives a half-hearted "I did it because I liked you". For an enemies-to-lovers to stick the landing, I need some sort of grovel or proper closure.

It's a solid, steamy romance with plenty of tension - romantic and narrative - but it loses ground for glossing over pranks that were just plain mean.

A Reckless Match is available now in ebook or hard copy.

Blog Tour: When Only Pride Remains by Natalie Kleinman

A enchanting story of love, loss and healing set in Regency England! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Jane Aiken Hodge and Jane Austen.

Can two estranged friends find their way back to each other…?

 Regency England 

When her father —Major Angus Fairham — returns home from the Napoleonic wars, Prudence is excited to welcome him home to Fairham Manor. 

However, tragedy strikes when Angus loses his estate to his close friend and comrade — young Captain Jack Staveley — in a drunken game of cards. Unable to face his loss, Angus takes his own life. 

Distraught, Jack tries to restore Fairham Manor to Prudence, but she is too proud to accept his offer. 

Overcome with grief and anger, she retreats to her aunt’s house in Bath and distances herself from her once close friendship with Jack. 

But as the initial shock of her sorrow begins to dull, Prudence is soon missing the support of her most trusted confidant.

And when they once more find themselves in each other’s orbit, she must decide whether she can put aside her pride and open her heart…

WHEN ONLY PRIDE REMAINS is a historical romantic tale set in Regency England, with a feisty heroine and a moving love story at its heart.

Purchase Link  - https://amzn.to/3w0s60Y

Review

This is a charming, gentle story about life, loss, and love, filled with house parties and extended rides through the countryside. It's a story where the happy ending is less important than the path to get there.

It was interesting to see Prudence discover her place in the world after seemingly losing the one place she thought would always be hers. Like an unfolding puzzle box, her life trips from one relative to another as she realises she's not as alone as she thought. Jack's struggle with returning from the war is all too common and his efforts to combat boredom while helping others were admirable. Their love blooms slowly but it is clear that its roots are buried deep.

There are many supporting characters - I adored Pru's aunt Becky - and the dialogue takes a while to get into but both deepen the atmosphere and add colour to a rich picture. Pick up this book, sit back, and rusticate with Pru and Jack for a while.

Author Bio 

Natalie’s passion for reading became a compulsion to write when she attended a ten-week course in creative writing some sixteen or so years ago. She takes delight in creating short stories of which more than forty have been published, but it was her lifelong love of Regency romance that led her to turn from contemporary romantic fiction to try her hand at her favourite genre.

Review

Warning: this book is like a travel ad for Iceland and it's almost cruel, to make me yearn to visit at a time when it's so unlikely. The descriptions of glaciers, hot pools, and the Northern Lights through Rachel's eyes are just gorgeous. It's easy to see why she begins to doubt her life back in London, when this amazing place is right there. Especially as Jonas is the biggest sweetheart ever, compared to the distant Adam. The love-triangle angst did carry on for a little too long for my tastes though.

My favourite part was seeing Rachel find her feet doing a job she loved, exploring a new place, and making new friends. It reads almost like a second coming of age. Her job and her passion for it is described in loving detail, although I know very little about homewares.

The ending did feel a little abrupt - while it did end happily, I had a few questions left about how some parts would play out. I think an epilogue would've help to round this out. Overall this was a charming and comforting novel that made me fall in love with a place I've never been.

The Rose Kiss by Esme Rome

In this retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Lana Moreau is named the Belmorta (beautiful death) by a local prophet and framed for poisoning one of her unwanted suitors. Fleeing into the forest, she finds refuge at an enchanted castle with invisible servants and a host who requests she never try to look at him. As soldiers search outside, the two become close - but the magic that hides the castle from Lana's pursuers is also hiding them from a greater threat - one who will stop at nothing.

This was definitely an interesting twist on Beauty and the Beast! I like that while Lana enjoyed reading, she wasn't a carbon copy of Belle. The world has a magic all of its own.

I did find the world-building inconsistent and this led to enough plot holes that the pacing felt off. The fairytale feel with two lost souls bonding in an empty castle morphed into a frantic fantasy adventure and it was a rather rocky transition. I also found it hard to like Lana as she came across as judgey and self-absorbed.

I can definitely see potential in the author and that cover is gorgeous, but it's definitely a first novel and I hope the next ones get a little more polish and a tougher editor.

The Rose Kiss is available now.

Blog Tour: Thirteen Stops by Sandra Harris

There are thirteen Luas stops between Sandyford and St. Stephen's Green in Dublin and vice versa. The passengers all hunker down, folded tightly into themselves, eyes fixed on their phones, interminably scrolling, terrified of connecting with each other. Except . . . Except, who's that good-looking guy in the long dark coat who's eyeing up selfie queen Laura? Could he end up as one of her terrible choices? Hang on, isn't he the same guy who was ogling glamorous working-mum-with-a-secret Maroon before? And why is Jamie over there telling his life story to a complete stranger? What's Fauve hiding in her handbag? It must be the crown jewels or an unexploded bomb at the very least, the way she's hugging it so tightly to herself. And why does Becks from two seats down look out the window so anxiously? Is she worried that Barry could be straying? Alight here for the inside track . . .

Review

Love, life, and a bit of the absurd collide and intertwine on the Luas, the tram system around Dublin. Everyone has a story and we dip one by one into the lives of its passengers, from the Other Woman to a single mother with a secret, a put-upon wife to the good boyfriend with a past. Each of the thirteen chapters follows different characters as they face relationship woes and the pains of life. I particularly enjoyed Fauve's and Maroon's chapters, though Mick's chapter made me tear up and a few of the relationships had me, a confirmed romantic, hoping for a breakup! 

Each end on a cliffhanger but I liked how these were (mostly) tied up in the next chapter. I also found it fun to try and work out who would be the next point of view. There was a nice cyclicity about the whole thing, though I was definitely left with a few questions, especially the ones that were mainly composed of flashbacks. It definitely felt like a tasting portion, leaving you wanting just a little bit more.

Touching, heartbreaking, and sometimes naughty (especially the first chapter, which I wasn't expecting!), this is a clever set of vignettes from an interesting new (to me) author.

Blog Tour: The Girl With Flaming Hair by Natalie Kleinman

Sophie is plagued by the shadows of the past…

While driving his curricle, Rufus Solgrave, Earl of Luxton comes across Sophie Clifford lying unconscious in the road, having fallen from her horse.

Not too far from home, he takes her back to Ashby, his country seat, leaving her in the care of his mother, Elizabeth, Countess of Luxton, and his sister, Lydia. Under their kindly supervision, Sophie soon begins to recover.

Upon discovering that Sophie has never mixed with London society, Elizabeth invites her to accompany the family to town for Lydia’s come-out. Unhappy with her homelife and eager to sample the delights of the season, Sophie accepts.

However, her enjoyment is marred when talk of an old scandal surrounding her birth resurfaces. What’s more, her devious stepbrother, Francis Follet, has followed her to London, intent on making her his bride.

Sensing Sophie’s distress, Rufus steps in to protect her from Francis’s unwelcome advances.

And although neither Rufus nor Sophie are yet thinking of marriage, both soon begin to wonder whether their comfortable friendship could blossom into something warmer…

Review

When Rufus Solgrave comes across a beautiful woman lying unconscious in the road and takes her home to recover, he has no idea that this Season will be unlike any other. Sophie Clifford has spent her entire life in the countryside, so when Rufus' mother and sister invite her to accompany them to London, she jumps at the chance. Life is a whirl of parties and invitations until her odious stepbrother arrives in town and rumours start to swirl around the circumstances of her birth. Sophie's one solace is in her new friends, particularly one Rufus Solgrave...

The Girl With Flaming Hair is a stately coming of age, where Sophie learns first how to stand on her own, and then that she doesn't need to. All her life, she's been emotionally neglected, but through the actions and with the support of the Solgrave family, she discovers there's far more to life than she ever dreamed. The dresses are sumptuous and the parties dazzling, but the heart of this book is in the relationships, both romantic and familial. Especial mention goes to the older ladies who take Sophie under their wing, particularly Elizabeth Solgrave, Rufus' mother. There's something very special about seeing women supporting women, especially across generations.

Of course, there are always obstacles on the path to a happy ever after, not least of all Rufus' inability to spit it out, but the ending is satisfying and leaves me in no doubt of their lasting happiness. I enjoyed how while everything is wrapped up, actions still have consequences.

I did find the inclusion of two side romances a little distracting, as most of those characters didn't get a chance to be properly fleshed out. I hope they get their own story, or at least a novella, to give them the page space they deserve!

If you're looking for a lower stakes Regency romance with plenty of characters and found family, pick this book up.

Natalie’s passion for reading became a compulsion to write when she attended a ten-week course in creative writing some sixteen or so years ago. She takes delight in creating short stories of which more than forty have been published, but it was her lifelong love of Regency romance that led her to turn from contemporary romantic fiction to try her hand at her favourite genre. Raised on a diet of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, she is never happier than when immersed in an age of etiquette and manners, fashion and intrigue, all combined into a romping good tale. She lives on the London/Kent border, close to the capital’s plethora of museums and galleries which she uses for research as well as pleasure.

Shh… It's Our Secret by Lizzie Chantree

Downtrodden waitress Violet runs her boyfriend's failing cafe and loves her regulars like family. When Kai wanders into the cafe, searching for some peace and quiet, he discovers that Violet has a secret that could change her life - and he's the perfect person to help her. As Kai begins to fall for Violet, he finds that his help could make Violet's dreams come true - or ruin her life.

Violet is an absolute sweetheart who deserves far more than her no-good boyfriend and recently-dumped sister give her credit. I liked how Kai gave her confidence to stand up to her boyfriend and can totally sympathise with her desire for the quiet life. I also like that she managed to befriend (or at least see a more sympathetic side) most of the women who she initially sees as rivals or enemies, though this is partially undone by her insistence on describing her ex-brother-in-law's new partner as 'horse-face' and blaming her for the breakdown of her sister's marriage.

I'm less keen on Kai, who seems like a generally good guy who can't keen his hands off Violet but won't actually talk to her or define their relationship because he recognises that she's recently out of a bad relationship, leaving her with mixed signals. There's a whole thing about his 'friends' constantly turning up at his house, which leads me to think that he's very bad at boundaries. He's lucky his poor communication didn't backfire worse than it did.

While there is no sex on the page - it fades to black - the language used makes it clear what is going on so it sometimes feels like scenes end abruptly on the way to intimacy. The plot also got overly complicated, with at least one love triangle, profit sharing with a confidentiality clause and growing sisterly tension. Overall I didn't mind this book but I think a good edit could've done it a world of good.

Blog Tour: Banana Devil Cake by Susan A King

 

With the murder of last year’s fête judge now but a hazy memory, the village of Elmesbury has retired to its former tranquil existence. That is, until a mysterious newcomer sets in motion a series of events that will see members of the W.I. crossing wooden spoons at dawn.

In the midst of preparing for her long-awaited engagement party, redoubtable village busybody Beattie Bramshaw not only finds herself embroiled in a one-woman campaign to save the elm tree from which the village gets its name, but having to contend with an outbreak of unrest within her beloved W.I. group. Rivalry to win favour with the judge of this year’s fête has fuelled dissent within the ranks and, when two members are found dead in mysterious circumstances, suspicions run rife.

Confident the devil is not only in the cake but in the detail, Beattie determines to uncover the clues that will ultimately lead to the killer’s conviction. But can she solve the mystery before another member of the W.I. is picked off?

Banana Devil Cake is a comedy crime caper in the spirit of Agatha Raisin and one that is guaranteed to lift your spirits. Prepare yourself for a tale of tea, cake and riotous goings-on from the author of Marrow Jam.

Review

Village shenanigans with a side of murder

Elderly but indomitable Beattie Bramshaw has a lot on her plate, in some cases literally. She's planning her engagement party, campaigning to save the village elm, and helping to organise the village fete with the fractious W.I. Just as one problem is put in its place, another rises to meet it - like the sudden death of not one, but two of her compatriots at the W.I. Suspicion falls on a celebrity psychic hiding out in the village after scandal, but Beattie can't seem to stop digging.

This is the second in a series, and fair warning - it totally spoils the ending of the first one in an extended series of court scenes. While this isn't usual for murder mysteries, it does signal this is a rather different sort of book - one without a dead body until 48% of the way through.

This may prove troublesome for those who want their murders front and centre, however for those who would rather take the scenic route, it's a fun slice of life with a cast of quirky villagers. Beattie may be bossy and stubborn, but you can't help but be charmed by her take-no-nonsense attitude to life (and death). I especially enjoyed her ruminations on the best way to spy on the neighbours. The women of the W.I. are headstrong and diverse, leading to heads butting all over the place.

I did guess the murderer quite quickly (which isn't usual for me) but it was nice to see all the pieces slot into place. I do feel like there were a few plot threads that weren't entirely wrapped up - was Leo trying to butter Beattie up? what was up with the quiche? and did anyone manage to bake a proper Banana Devil Cake?

Unanswered questions aside, this was a fun comedic caper through the cutthroat world of village baking with a side of murder. If that sounds like your cup of tea, you'll love this.

Blog Tour: Duchess if You Dare by Anabelle Bryant

From the glittering ballrooms of the ton to the city's grittiest corners, London has no shortage of wrongs in need of righting--and the Maidens of Mayhem are prepared for the challenge. United by secrecy and sisterhood, these daring women from all walks of life aim to fight injustice wherever it takes them--even into the arms of unexpected love. This feminist take on Regency-era Robin Hoods from USA Today bestselling author Anabelle Bryant is destined to storm readers' hearts!

Scarlett Wynn's tragic childhood taught her that life can be cruel to women with little power. So when a local seamstress disappears, Scarlett vows to find out why. Armed with a weapon and her courage, Scarlett scours London for clues--and crosses the unlikely path of Ambrose Cross, the Duke of Aylesford, at an unlikely place: an upscale brothel. The Duke is trying to solve a mystery of his own, and Scarlett is sure they can help each other--if she can resist the attraction that draws them together...

As Duke of Aylesford, Ambrose is duty-bound to protect his family name from scandal no matter the cost. But Scarlett's fearless spirit forces him to look beyond his world of privilege. Scarlett is as intoxicating as she is dangerous, igniting a fire in him like no other. When the pair learn both mysteries they're trying to solve are tied to a string of missing women, the tangled scheme they uncover may put their lives, and their growing love, in mortal danger--and lead them to search their hearts like never before...

"A delightful historical romance with a liberal dash of adventure, plenty of sizzling heat, and a heart of pure gold. A superb start to Bryant's new Maidens of Mayhem series"
--Lenora Bell, USA Today bestselling author

"Duchess if You Dare is a fantastic read that kept me up late and has me anxiously awaiting the next book in the series."

Review

First in a new series, Duchess if You Dare introduces us to the Maidens of Mayhem, four women who have taken it upon themselves to right the wrongs of Regency London by straying outside of society's rules. While two of them do not get a lot of page time and Julia is a strong supporting character, the Maiden in focus is Scarlett, a clever, competent, and fiercely independent woman with a fondness for roaming London in breeches.

When Scarlett's seamstress Linie disappears, she learns of a series of missing girls. It's pretty dark subject matter, but while investigating a brothel, she crosses paths with the handsome Duke of Aylesford. Ambrose is trying to track down his brother's favourite whore, but Scarlett's mysterious allure threatens to derail his search and upend his world. Dangerous situations lead to heightened tension until there's no way this won't lead to love.

While I loved Scarlett - I'm a sucker for competence and her actions flowed so naturally from her rough backstory - Ambrose has the more complex character arc. As a duke, he's powerful and privileged but constrained by responsibility and expectations. He takes a long time to realise how much his birth has benefited him and even longer to leverage it into any sort of action. His protective instinct wants to wrap Scarlett up in cotton wool, and while it comes from a place of emotion (and later love), he seems to completely ignore how well she can handle herself and her own self-determination, which I did find frustrating.

I definitely would've liked to see more of the Maidens, as Scarlett's friendship with Julia is a good emotional foil to the romance but Phoebe and Diana felt more incidental. A throwaway line makes me wonder if there's another story running concurrent with this one, perhaps the subject of a sequel. Ambrose's brother also seems ripe for his own story, given his the curtailing of his wayward tendencies.

After deceit, danger, and a smattering of abduction, the mystery wraps up quickly and Scarlett and Ambrose decide that love conquers all, including their hesitations and the huge gap in their social status. It felt a little handwavey but I'm willing to overlook it for the sake of a happy ending.

Overall, this is a solid romance for those who want a bit more grit with their Regency (but don't worry, there's still a ball!)
