British Occupied Manhattan, 1777. American actress Jenny Leighton has been packing the John Street Theater with her witty comedies, but she longs to escape the provincial circuit for the glamour of the London stage.

When the playwright General John Burgoyne visits the city, fresh from a recent success in the capitol, she seizes the opportunity to court his patronage. But her plan is foiled by British intelligence officer Severin Devere.

Severin’s mission is to keep the pleasure-loving general focused on the war effort…and away from pretty young actresses. But the tables are turned when Severin himself can’t resist Jenny Leighton…

Months later, Jenny has abandoned her dreams of stage glory and begun writing seditious plays for the Rebels under the pen name “Cornelia,” ridiculing “Gentleman Johnny” Burgoyne and his army—and undermining the crown’s campaign to take Albany. With Jenny’s name now on the hanging list, Severin is ordered to find her—and deliver her to certain death. Soon, the two are launched on a desperate journey through the wilderness, toward an uncertain future shaped by the revolution—and their passion for each other…

Review: The Silver Witch by Paula Brackston

by The Lit Bitch7 Comments on Review: The Silver Witch by Paula Brackston

On the banks of an ancient lake, Tilda Fordwells, moves into the cottage hoping to move on with her life.

Her husband, Mat, was killed suddenly in a car accident and Tilda vows to live in the home that they had bought just before his death.

It’s been a year since Mat dies, and Tilda is still struggling to move past it but hopes that moving into the house by the lake will be just what she needs.

Well things aren’t quite going as planned. Being at the lake seems to have awakened something in Tilda, animals seems to be flocking to her, the lights in her house go out, and she’s been having ‘visions’ from the past.

Review: Scent of Triumph by Jan Moran

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Review: Scent of Triumph by Jan Moran

I love war time romances…like with a passion! It has been a long time since I’ve read a book in one sitting…..like a LONG TIME.

This book took me by complete surprise at how compelling it was.

I was addicted from the very beginning and literally could not put it down until I finished it.

I don’t know what it is about forbidden romances that just gets me but there just is!

I was immediately struck by the raw attraction between Danielle and Jon. Danielle and her husband Max are on their way back to Poland to be united with their son and family.

Their are on board a passenger ship crewed by Jonathan Newell-Grey, on the eve of WWII when a German U-boat fires on them….sinking the ship.
