Make an exception for Brighton Honeymoon, Sheri Cobb South’s delightful follow-up to last year’s The Weaver Takes a Wife. Ethan Brundy and his bride Lady ‘elen are back, and all they want is…
This book isn’t a romance, but it’s one of my all-time favorites and will likely be fascinating for history lovers and for fans of historical romance and straight historical fiction a la Dorothy Dunnett.

Confession time: This is my first Nora Roberts book, and I knew when I began reading that if I didn’t like it, I would receive the wrath of countless Nora fans and, more importantly, my mother.
