Special Feature: Eternal by Lisa Scottoline

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: Eternal by Lisa Scottoline

Spring time is the hot time for all the upcoming new historical fictions releases! My TBR list always seems to double from late February/early March until about the end of April. I simply love historical fiction and author Lisa Scottoline has written a number of novels which makes me even more excited for this one!

The one thing that drew me to this historical fiction was the setting. So many historical fiction novels are set during WWII and it’s typically in France or England, which mades sense right? Since France and England was where all the fighting was mostly happening. But there is a whole other area that was greatly impacted by the war too…..Italy.

This book is set in Italy and is based on true events. This book sounds like it’s going to focus more on the rise of Mussolini and fascism as war threatens the country. It sounds like it’s going to be an impactful novel with loads of historical details to recommend itself and I am so here for it. I cannot wait to read this one! It is out now so if historical fiction is your thing be sure to get this one on your radar!

RaeAnne Thayne has been a favorite author of mine for a while! I love her Christmas books so much and her other romances aren’t bad either. She is a prolific writer who turns out consistently well written love stories and I cannot WAIT to read this one. Especially after the excerpt that I have included in this post for you guys to enjoy!

This one is set in the Pacific Northwest in a fictional coastal town and seeing as how I live in the Pacific Northwest and love visiting the coast, this one sounds like it’s going to be an extra special read for me. Setting and romance aside, you simply canot go wrong with RaeAnne Thayne.

She’s a marvelous writer who writes believable female characters with real life issues to address, and swoon worthy heroes who win me over every time. Not to mention she does small town settings so so so well. If you love womens fiction with romance, you will no doubt have heard from RaeAnne Thayne but if you have yet to give her books a go, I strongly encourage you to check her out!

Review: Under the Light of the Italian Moon by Jennifer Anton

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Under the Light of the Italian Moon by Jennifer Anton

When I was pitched this book, what sold me was the sensational cover! The cover is a show stopper and so eye catching and promises something exotic and romantic. But then I read the description and I couldn’t wait to read it, especially since it was based on a true story.

While it is set during WWII, it’s not set in the traditional countries of France and England, but rather Italy as the title implies. I think Italy often gets overlooked in the WWII historical fiction genre so I was really excited to read about a familiar event in history through a unique pair of eyes.

Plus I was super excited to see that there was a romance in it. I love war time romances. The backdrop of the war adds so much tension and drama to war time romances so I was really looking forward to this one. I picked it up on the first day of spring break and devoured it in a matter of days! There was a lot to love in this one!

Special Feature: The English Wife by Adrienne Chinn

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: The English Wife by Adrienne Chinn

I am a huge fan of duel timeline historical fiction. I know that some readers feel that it’s overdone but I absolutely love it and I rarely get tired of it. This new release from Adrienne Chinn sounds like it’s going to be another wonderful duel timeline historical fiction and I cannot wait to read it!

Her debut novel, The Lost Letter from Morocco, sounds equally as intriguing so needless to say both of these books are on my TBR list. However this book, The English Wife, sounds absolutely wonderful and is set immediately following VE Day. The second part of the story is set in 2001 as the World Trade Centre is bombed. Both time periods make for a sensational backdrop.

If you are a historical fiction fan then this will be a book that you want on your radar and it’s been getting a lot of great early reviews. I couldn’t be more excited to share this amazing book with you guys and I hope you check it out. I will be sure to post my review here once I get to it, but until then be sure to get this one on your TBR list!
