Blood Will Out

The Talk of the Town by Lynne Connolly

January 25, 2024 by Pooja Leave a Comment

After her two tumultuous years wed to the Duke of Whiston come to a fiery end, all Bianca wants is to lead a peaceful life and regain her reputation. But when she meets Alexander Fraser at a house party, she finds herself falling into both love and scandal once again.

To Be a Diplomat’s Wife

An Unusual Courtship by Lynne Connolly

March 30, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Brazen Desperation

The Only Honest Man in London by Lynne Connolly

August 12, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 14 Bingo: Dough Money – specifically the lack of it – is a driving force in this book. After a rocky start, Viola and Gerald become close friends – and could perhaps become more. But the actions of their sister and best friend threatens to throw everything into complete disarray. Despite the Pride and Prejudice-esque elements of the plot, what really drew me to this story was Viola’s disability. I’m always on the lookout for differently-abled heroes and heroines in my romances, especially historical […]
