Indiscretion: A Novel | Jude Morgan

This book was a delight! The main character is a strong, resourceful, good-hearted woman with a witty sense of humor. Although the novel is lighthearted, there are several difficult situations and moral dilemmas which are dealt with realistically. The characters all seemed real. This is not just a “fluffy” romance. It has substance. 5⭐️

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I genuinely love this book so much. The snark between the main characters is just fantastic. 2w
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I loved it too! It will be in the mail to you by the end of next week, once I get home from vacation. Just in time for you to pack it and move it, perhaps? 2w
LeahBergen His regency books are all so good! 2w
julieclair @LeahBergen This is the first of his that I have read, but it won‘t be the last! 2w

This one starts out playful and fun, but delves into some more serious issues of the time. You can tell that it‘s well researched and highlights the horrific ways women were often treated in the Regency era. I loved the dynamic of Gus and Julia, twin sisters with a special bond and strong stubborn personalities. Their determination to help women in need pulled me in. I love that they‘re not young, but mature ladies who knew their own minds.

Not the same cover as the edition I have. I usually like all the England-set, Regency or Victorian period, amateur sleuth novels, but this one is better than most. More suspense & serious issues plus middle-aged protagonists make it a little different. Loaned it to a friend & she loved it, too. Excited for the 2nd one. #12booksof2024 @Andrew65

Andrew65 Looks a good read.

In Milady's Chamber | Sheri Cobb South

Pickpick

Having read Pickpocket's Apprentice, the prequel to the John Pickett series made 'In Milady's Chamber' far more enjoyable as it gave me more understanding of the friendship between two of the main characters.
Set in Regency times I would class this as a cosy mystery. It was well written and interesting. With some unexpected moments which kept the flow of the story running at times when it became a little slow I was pleased with my choice of book.

I spent a wonderful time in June devouring this one. It‘s comedic, has a bit of mystery, and debuts a wonderfully original heroine who goes against social customs in Regency England. And, gasp, she‘s happy to be a spinster. Until, at least, a dangerous rogue crosses her path (note: this is not a romance, though there is a dash). I laughed, took down quotes, and enjoyed this one. Hope book two comes out soon! #12BooksOf2024

Mollyanna This sounds wonderful and right up my alley. 3w
Librarybelle @Mollyanna It‘s so much fun! 3w

I want to catch up here with some of the books I‘ve read during the year but not posted, for one reason or another. I enjoyed all of these m/m romances.

Hazard | Jo Beverley

One of my favorites by Beverley. Hazard is a complicated card game.

I‘ve enjoyed all the Heyer books I‘ve read, but this one takes the cake! Not so much a romance as a straight out comedy - it is hilarious! Sophy is an unforgettable character. This is another book borrowed from my Heyer loving friend. I am going to have to buy myself a copy for when (not if) read it again.

mabell Oh I‘m so looking forward to this one! I have it on my shelf, and it may have to be next! It‘s been a long time since I have read a Heyer romance. I tend to save them as a special travel book, but then I don‘t get to them very often 😆 4w
LeahBergen @mabell @CarolynM This is the first Heyer I read (and what started my obsession 😆😆)! 4w
CarolynM @mabell Read it soon, you‘ll love it! 4w

CarolynM @LeahBergen I‘m a bit worried I‘ll be disappointed in the next one I read😬 4w
Daisey I‘ve been meaning to read a Heyer novel, maybe this is the one I should try. 4w
Rissreadswithcats Not so romance, more comedy- SOLD! I‘ve stacked this. I have wanted to read a Heyer but romance isn‘t really my thing. I‘m excited! 4w
mabell @LeahBergen Oh that‘s high praise! I really need to get to this one! @CarolynM I don‘t think I‘ve ever been disappointed 😆 Oh, except for Penhallow. Man I hated that book 😂 4w
CarolynM @Daisey I‘d definitely recommend this one 🙂 4w
CarolynM @Rissreads There‘s always the mysteries if you don‘t want to do romance. This one is my favourite of those so far 4w
Rissreadswithcats Thanks @CarolynM I will stack that one too. If only I didn‘t need a job so I could have more time to read!!!!!! 🤣 4w
