Review: A Divided Inheritance by Deborah Swift

by The Lit Bitch1 Comment on Review: A Divided Inheritance by Deborah Swift

In 1609, Elspet Leviston plans on doing something most women wouldn’t dream of–she hopes to take over her father’s lace business.

In an age where most women only care about finding husbands and having children, Elspet wants nothing more than the learn the trade.

Since her father doesn’t have a male heir the odd of her taking over are pretty good–until a mysterious cousin shows up and starts helping her father with the lace business.

Zachary Deane has basically come from nothing. His mother was a prostitute and with three children. They had little money to support themselves but she had high hopes for Zachary. She told him if anything happened to her, he should find his father, Nathaniel Leviston.

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Review: Dark Angel: A Gothic Fairy Tale by T.J. Bennett

Strong winds and storm surges batter the hull of a ship carrying the young widow Catherine Briton home to England.

Catherine spots land and tells the captain that they should abandon ship and try to make it to the island. To her dismay the captain refuses and denies that he even saw the land.

The ship eventually sinks and Catherine is left floating in the ocean waiting for death to overtake her. Instead of dying, she wakes up on the beach of the island she saw from the ship.

A stranger rescues her and takes her back to his castle. When she awakes she finds that the man, Gerard, not only saved her life but he is ridiculously good looking as well.

As she regains her strength she finds that things are a little strange on the island. She seems to be stuck in some weird time  lapse. There is also a feral beast that stalks the island.

Special Feature: Upcoming Holiday Reading Michele Gorman’s Christmas Carol

by The Lit BitchLeave a Comment on Special Feature: Upcoming Holiday Reading Michele Gorman’s Christmas Carol

I always try and post about new upcoming cover reveals, author chats, and other literary related events and I know a lot of you are out there looking for new for your holiday reading lists!

So I thought this sounded like a cheeky book to add to your holiday reading!

Michele Gorman’s Christmas Carol is coming down the chimney on October 24th!

Gorman is also the author of the hilarious chick lit series, Single in the City.

This latest novella is a wickedly funny re-imagining of Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol. Here is a summary of the novella:

One winter wedding, two happy couples, three ex-boyfriends… And a very uncomfortable weekend.

Carol hates Christmas. Being recently dumped, she’s not crazy about weddings either. So her sister Marley’s nuptials, over the Christmas weekend, are making her positively Scrooge-like.

When she arrives for the weekend at the stately home in rural Scotland to find her three ex-boyfriends in attendance, Carol has no choice but to face her ghosts to discover what really happened in those relationships, learning a lot about herself in the process. As the snow falls outside and the fire crackles in the hearth, might one of the wedding guests become the harbinger of Christmases to come?

Available globally in paperback and eBook at these fine locations:
