It Luke has been looking for his son, who was stolen nine months ago. Georgina ran away from home and became a governess, and she took along her pug. It has been a long search but Luke feels he has finally found a clue. Of course, there is intrigue, lies and kidnapping, with a few twists thrown in, to make matters more intense. There is also happiness, kindness and love from the families, which includes his partners. They are good people. I so enjoyed reading this third installment of the Bastards of London, so far all the books have been great. The author is truly marvelous, her writing style is smooth, concise and flows well. She leaves no unanswered questions and she is generous with her descriptions. Her characters are very life like and full of the joy of living. This tale has been a thoroughly satisfying story. I highly recommend this book and feel it was time well spent. I was given this book for free and have voluntarily reviewed it.

His solicitor just gave him the news that his mother put a codicil on her will. In order for him to get his childhood home. The only place he was happy before his mom died. Be married by thirty.
Lady Harriet Beaumont, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Whickerton, is a free spirit, impulsive, and has no intention of marrying. No man will ever have control over her life. She makes her own decisions and she also speaks very bluntly. They are complete opposites.
I really loved this story. Harry also has a huge heart and loves her family and friends. Poor, Sweet Jack spends a fair amount of time confused. He doesn't understand why she does not have a chaperone for instance. But eventually, he realizes she has her reasons. It was a funny book and you could see where they both came from. I do recommend this endearing novel about two people being confused and all the strange things that happen to them.

Juliette Toren is the chief of the Clan Kerr and has been ordered by the king to kill, Stewart Hallington, English Lord Warden of the Middle Marches. Juliette Hallington is the daughter of said warden. They both go to the Tournament of the North. The way, the surroundings were described and the characters seemed so realistic, you felt you were at the tournament, watching the jousting. The first time she met Toren was when she ran into him, as she ran away from a young man. She was wearing a crimson gown with silver threads around the sleeves and neck. The plot has several twists and the author has managed to twirl the strands into an interesting and mesmerizing tale. It keeps your attention and is even paced. I think you will find that it is well worth the time to read, as all her books are. I received a copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.

It was exciting, challenging. and Charged. So many things were going on around them and at a fairly rapid pace. This was a well-written novel and easy to read. It moved very well and it definitely kept your interest. It started with the death of a man at the fireworks display that was a practice for the big show in a week. It was to celebrate the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle. He had been shot in the back and was now lying on his face with blood leaking into the grass. He didn't have a purse on him even though he was dressed extremely well. Ash would next need to call upon the widow and tell her what happened.
Juliana had started to help her husband in his cases. Her father was an earl and she had access to many of the aristocracy. She is trying to heal from what her parents did to her. The cruelties they threw at her, also the totally unsuitable men they wanted her to marry.
