TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Miss Tavistock's Mistake (The Brides of Mayfair #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
I was delighted by Miss Tavistock’s Mistake written by Linore Rose Burkard, which is the first book in The Brides of Mayfair series! Readers who like Victorian/Regency historical fiction will enjoy the flow and thoughtful attention to period detail.
Miss Tavistock was a great mix of personalities, pretty much one to match each of her “names” right until they all become one in a great character arch. She was witty, engaging, and made me smile. The Captain… Ooo… Where to start with him? He was a handsome dashing guy with a misunderstood personality right from the beginning. He grew throughout the story and finished as any Captain should. Rescuing his Damsel in distress. Truly a good cast of characters that I look forward to seeing in future books.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the engaging cast of characters, the interesting twists in the story, and the morals/themes in this book.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Heart Restoration (RenoVations #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
Y'all this story was epic!
It combined historical fiction, a mystery, suspense + a dash of oh so sweet romance!! I think this is one of my favorite books to read this year :) I think I read the whole book in one sitting.
I loved Lisa. Her character is well developed, she is strong and shows grace, and courage when faced with interesting circumstances. Plus, I loved the vivid descriptions that Regina Rudd Merrick used to describe Lisa and Nick and their plans for the renovation; It was like I was in the house and could envision it right along with them!
The setting in the old house, combined with the mystery left me so excited to (hopefully) read Del's story next! I highly recommend this story for the great characters, interesting twists I did not see coming and for making the smiles along the way. 5 out of 5 stars.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Dead Man's Grave (DS Max Craigie #1) in Books
Jul 16, 2021
One of the best books I have read this year and one of the best in this genre I have read for a very long time!
I have never read anything by Neil Lancaster before but the blurb sounded right up my street so gave it a punt and I'm so glad I did because what a brilliant start to a series.
Max is a very interesting character with a strong back story which most definitely adds to the story as a whole. There are some dark moments interspersed with lighter times and I particularly like the relationship Max has with his boss, Ross, and colleague, Janie, which felt authentic.
What can I say ... brilliant characters, gripping story line, excellent pace, full of tension and action featuring historical feuds, revenge, dirty coppers, gangsters and all set in beautiful Scotland ... just a fantastic book all round really and I can't wait for the next instalment.
Thank you HQ Digital and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
