Review: An Affair Downstairs (Thornbrook Park #2) by Sherri Browning

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: An Affair Downstairs (Thornbrook Park #2) by Sherri Browning

Though not a baron himself, Logan Winthrop, is from a wealthy family. But he has a colored past. It’s rumored that he killed a man and now lives in shame as an estate manager at Thornbrook Park.

Things are more or less tolerable for Logan…that is until the feisty Lady Alice Emerson sets her sights on him.

Lady Alice has zero interest in marriage but her sister, The Countess of Aberford, intends to make an advantageous match for Alice one way or another.

Alice has a bucket list of sorts….travel and most importantly, have a lover. Nothing major or long term, she just wants to make love once so she can say she did it, and then move on.

Review: Die I Will Not (John Chase Mystery #3) by S.K. Rizzolo

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Die I Will Not (John Chase Mystery #3) by S.K. Rizzolo

British mysteries are some of my favorite books to read….especially those set in either the Victorian or Regency eras. Who doesn’t love a good murder by gaslight novel?

The John Chase series intrigued me. I often gravitate toward British mysteries/detective novels with female protagonists, so a series that boasted a male detective grabbed me.

Penelope Wolfe has married the wrong man. She tried to break away from her father and in her attempt at ‘independence’ she has found herself very unhappily married. Jeremy is basically gambling himself into the ground.

Review: The Sharp Hook of Love by Sherry Jones

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: The Sharp Hook of Love by Sherry Jones

For her entire life, Heloise has known what her future would hold. She has been preparing to become an abbess.

All her education, grooming, and introductions have been carefully planned for her to ascend to that position.

She has long accepted that she will likely never know love or a life outside the service of God and she is ok with that, until she meets Pierre Abelard.

Pierre is the headmaster at the Notre Dame Cloister School. He has had many intelligent pupils and is well known in many academic circles as simply ‘the best’ and he is equally as notorious in those circles when it comes to women.

Heloise’s uncle manages to convince Pierre to tutor his niece as part of her final preparation into her future career. Pierre is immediately captivated by Heloise.
