Great quick read. I find myself holding my breath when she gets attacked but she's a real trooper. Everyone has a little bit of Everly Swan in them. Recipes at the end are great and simple.

We LOVE Billie B Brown...Perfect for quick family read alouds, or assisted beginner reads. We like guessing what the 'B' stands for in each book. In this one, we were proud of Billie for making the right decision to protect Jack's feelings & make a new friend in the process!

4 stars for a solid addition to this excellent historical mystery series. It is set in London, January, 1814. Alexi Sauvage has introduced Hero Devlin to a 8 months pregnant wife of a recently impressed cooper. Her husband was snatched of the street by a Royal Navy press gang. She is desperate need of food and coal. Hero and her friend Alexi assist her in the successful birth of her child. They are returning to Hero's carriage when they stumble upon the body of a woman. Hero recognizes her as Jane Ambrose, piano teacher to Princess Charlotte, the Regent's daughter. She sends word to her husband, Sebastian St Cyr, Viscount Devlin. Sauvage has told Hero that the body was moved after death, due to the lack of blood from the wound. Devlin decides to investigate what was either a murder or manslaughter. However, the Palace does not want this classed as a murder, because it would embarrass the Royal family. The authorities announce that she died as a result of a fall, hitting her head. Devlin angers some powerful people by investigating and is attacked. He does solve the murder. There are many suspects with twists and turns in the plot. I was not sure of who the killer was until near the end. I like that the author incorporates the use of terms in use in 1814 London: Footpad=robber cutpurse=thief Description of Hero's clothes: "Unable to use her carriage in the snow-filled streets and scorning sedan chairs, she pulled on demi-broquins of fine morocco lined with fur, wrapped herself in a fur trimmed pelisse with a matching Swedish hat fastened up on one side, and walked." The author discusses the plight of the poor, compared with the rich and the inequities of limited suffrage, and limitations placed upon talented women in Regency Britain. I recommend that you read this series in order, as there are developments in Devlin's personal life throughout the series.

We enjoy these as a family. Leo and Dean like to learn about the characters without watching the movies

written so true to life in the way the southerners talk and their expressions. Made me chuckle throughout reading the book and how one women stood up for what she believed against the odds was awesome

This is a cute YA novel written with her daughter. The story is easy to follow and fun for book fans. I enjoyed the characters.

Such a cute story. It is part of a series. One I read the first book of and wanted more. It is stand alone if you only want to read this one. I really enjoyed the way the story unraveled - so sweet but still mysterious. Highly recommend for an easy read.

A well written novel about unexpected romance, friendship and finding yourself. Author Giffin creates a relatable main character and touches on themes of standing up for yourself and finding your way

Rebecca reveals exactly what it was like to be trafficked. This story had me laughing, crying, che king my assumptions and ripped open. Rebecca's coming to faith story is so inspiring!

Appreciated getting a few days advance copy of this book- -With the pandemic, that wasn’t much, though! Somehow I can’t give this a 5- loved the characters, the story, the setting, the economy of words that is perfect Nora Roberts-The Latina maid and the privileged characters , the man that comes to kill her is described-doesn’t need to be- I think the times have made me hyper sensitive! I enjoy her books when there is a touch more suspense. She continues to be one of my favorite authors, and I will never forget meeting her in person, at a grocery store visit, of all places!
