I love going through AAR’s Best of Lists since I am always guaranteed to find some great books. Thanks to Maria Rose’s list, my most recent discovery is the A Rip Through Time series starring Detective Mallory Atkinson and mortician and crime solver Dr. Duncan Gray. MAY 20, 2019: Homicide detective Mallory is in Edinburgh…
On Circus Lane is the prequel to 2020’s Merry Measure, in which the central romance unfolded against the backdrop of a trip to Amsterdam in order to celebrate the engagement of Tom Wright (older brother of primary school teacher Arlo) and his boyfriend, Bee Bannister. Readers were captivated by the pair – so obviously happy…
Narrated by Steve Worsley Maggie Craig’s Storm Over Scotland series continues with book three, Storm Tossed Moon, another superbly crafted instalment in this absorbing saga of political intrigue and star-crossed romance set in mid-eighteenth century Scotland. These books absolutely have to be read in order, so if you’re new to the series, you need to start…
Narrated by Steve Worsley I first reviewed Maggie Craig’s Gathering Storm when it was released in audiobook format back in 2015, in the version narrated by James Bryce (which is no longer available). I enjoyed the story a great deal, but had a number of reservations about the narration; one that the pacing was very…
Narrated by Steve Worsley Dance to the Storm is the second book in the Storm Over Scotland trilogy by author and historian Maggie Craig, and if you enjoy meaty, well-researched historical fiction with a compelling, star-crossed romance at its heart, then I suggest these books might be right up your alley! I’ll say straight off…
First Comes Scandal is just the sort of light, sweet-natured romance I – and likely the world – needs right now. With a marriage of convenience at its core, it’s a little traditional and a lot witty. It’s a lighthearted and enjoyable ride that will please most Bridgerton/Rokesby fans, even though it possesses a few…
Master Wolf is the eagerly awaited second instalment of Joanna Chambers’ Capital Wolves duet and concludes the story begun in Gentleman Wolf, which introduced readers to the beautiful, elegant, devil-may-care Lindsay Sommerville and Drew Nichol, the rather dour architect with whom he falls head-over-heels in love. This book is a direct sequel to the first…
After a few recent forays into contemporary romance, Joanna Chambers returns to historicals and to the city of Edinburgh for her latest novel, Gentleman Wolf, the first in her Capital Wolves Duet. As the title suggests, this is a story with a touch of the paranormal, although the paranormal elements are fairly low-key, so if…
Katharine Ashe hits only high notes in this memorable fourth book in the Devil’s Duke series. The Prince elevates two previously minor secondary characters – and my friends, the pairing is brilliant. He’s an exiled prince of a fictional Mediterranean realm, hidden away in Scotland and biding his time until he can return home; she’s…
Narrated by Hamish McKinlay Enlightened completes Joanna Chambers’ trilogy of historical romances set mostly in Edinburgh in the 1820s. Because there are overarching plotlines, it really is necessary to listen to all three books in order so as to enjoy the complete story; and because of that, there will be spoilers for books one (Provoked)…
