Holy Moly! New and Upcoming Historical Romance!

Hey...after broken arms, covid, and a husband having a heart attack, I am trying to play catch up. Here is a list of some new historical romance books; some of them are already out. Authors with an asterisk*, I'm picking up! Authors with **asterisks have either fallen off my radar or new to me, and I'm might read them this time around. Release dates mostly between August 15, 2022 and October 14, 2022. 

 
Series indicates a series, spin-off, sequel, trilogy, brother/sister, secret society/spies, good friends who attended Oxford/Eton, vampire/werewolf - anything that has something continuing - even if written 20 years ago. Anthology/novella/short stories could be an anthology or a bunch of books in one print or novella - one tiny book or an anthology with a bunch of novellas - could be a short stories by one author, could be short stories by multiple authors - could be - I'm getting a headache. Ebook, only sold electronically for now. Debut - congratulations!

By the way, it is not my fault if a publisher changes the release dates - just so you know, they do not consult me. Let me also add this warning - since I am now using different sources, I am finding that one person's genre isn't necessarily another persons - sorry if your book is in the wrong genre.

Heads Up! Mia Vincy new release

https://www.miavincy.com 

 

Yes! The fourth book in the Longhope Abbey hits the stands today! Things are looking up, at least when it comes to books.

A Scandalous Kind of Duke

Sometimes life is interesting...

My dear Petunia's. Sometimes one is just walking along, minding one's business, when all of a sudden one trips over a rug.  Yes, my fellow romance lovers I fell..

It's been special. I now have a new shoulder and new rods that connect to the shoulder...But wait, it gets better!!! Three days into recovery, I made contact with our COVID visitor...So...it has been a special time.

Now, I'm not telling you this for sympathy but to let you know I'm a tad bit behind. So, give me a few weeks and the use of my second hand, and I will be catching up.

I can hardly wait for my taste buds to return.

Wayback Machine Project: B is for Mary Balogh

July 14, 2022

 

https://marybalogh.com/

Well that was a thrill! I finished Queen Balogh’s Bedwyn series: One Night for Love, 1999, A Summer to Remember (2002), Slightly Married (2003), Slightly Wicked (2003), Slightly Scandalous (2003), Slightly Tempted (2003), Slightly Sinful (2004), and Slightly Dangerous (2004). Even with all the angst in these stories, it was great to check back in with a masterful writer. If you haven’t read any of these books, you really need to. I did a previous review on the Bedwyn/Slightly series, and I haven’t changed my mind. If there was anything which changed since the last time, it would have been Freyja’s habit of punching the hero. I now look at that as abuse. As I did the last time, I liked Slightly Dangerous the best! 

There are also two books which are sort of connected to the Bedwyn series: One Night of Love (1999) and A Summer to Remember (2002). One Night of Love is the story of Neville Wyatt, Earl of Kilbourne, and Lily. This story is about Neville and Lily marrying before a battle in Portugal, and him thinking she died. Guess what, she didn’t. He is about to wed another woman, when she shows up at the church. Surprise! Good story, filled with the standard amount of Balogh angst. And, the connection to the Bedwyn’s is: the bride who Neville leaves at the altar, Lauren Edgeworth.

Lauren Edgeworth is a bit of a stick, so she is a bit humiliated. But wait, she gets her own story. She is saved from a life of being a stick by Kit Butler. In A Summer to Remember, Kit Butler, Viscount Ravensberg is being forced to marry his childhood friend Freyja Bedwyn. Well he doesn’t want to, so he develops a plan – a Romanceland Plan…the dreaded fake fiancée. He persuades Lauren to go along with his plan. What does she get out of it? She wants a summer of passion and adventure. After the summer is over, she will break the engagement. This theme is then repeated in Freyja’s story. Even though the fake engagement theme is repeated, Ms. Balogh handles both differently. I did like A Summer to Remember better than One Night of Love, but I do recommend both reads. - B
