Review: The Tapestry (Joanna Stafford #3) by Nancy Bilyeau

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: The Tapestry (Joanna Stafford #3) by Nancy Bilyeau

Joanna Stafford is still struggling to adjust to life in the sleepy town of Dartford.

Once a novice nun, but now….not, thanks to King Henry VIII, Joanna is content weaving her tapestries at her home.

The sudden disappearance of her would be husband, Edmund Scovill, has left Joanna upset and confused (not to mention the reader!) but she is resolved to continue her work on her tapestries far from the English court.

Well, her weaving has caught the attention of the King. When a royal summons from Whitehall comes, demanding Joanna’s presence at court, she can hardly refuse the royal order.

When she arrives at court, she is literally attacked instantly by an unknown assailant. It becomes clear that someone wants her dead and the attacked was a carefully orchestrated by a trained assassin.

Review: The Counterfeit Heiress (Lady Emily #9) by Tasha Alexander

Lady Emily and her husband, the dashing Colin, are enjoying their evening out at an exclusive costume ball.

A strange encounter with a masked man leaves Emily scratching her head.

She was certain that she was the only Artemis at the ball but clearly the masked man was expecting a different sort of Artemis.

Well the only other Artemis at the ball is the eccentric Estella Lamar. Estella hasn’t been seen in society for years. She is known for her world travels and is rarely….if ever…..seen in society.

Emily’s long time friend Cecile knows Estella well from a childhood spent together. When Cecile sees Estella at the ball, she knows she’s a fraud. Someone is impersonating Estalla…..but why?
