The prologue hints that the story will be a flashback. Peggy is nearly eighty years old in 1860. She reflects back to 1800 and how she met and fell in love with Ralph Duggan. Of her memories, she narrates, “There are two nights that I recall especially. On both of them, the moonlight was so brig...
DNF @ 25% Reasons I gave up: "As you know, Bob" dialogue Modern attitudes Too many characters but none I care about NOTHING happening Too many books, too little time I received this book through NetGalley. Opinions are my own.
I only started this book knowing it was the final (so far) book in a series. I had come this far, I wasn't going to give up now. It's a good thing I didn't. This book managed to redeem the horrible writing that plagued the previous three. I am hoping the author is ending this series here.
The development of Ursula throughout this series is really starting to show. I am enjoying seeing it happen. My biggest problem with the first three or four books was Ursula's constant pining. It seemed she was always whining about Matthew and how much she needed to sleep with him. Once Matthew was ...
This was hands down the best book in the Ursula Blanchard series (so far). I didn't have to waste time reading pages and pages of Ursula whining about a man. At this point in her life, Ursula has finally found herself a level headed husband who doesn't spend his spare time plotting against Elizabeth...
One of the best things about books in a series is the development of characters. This is the sixth novel featuring Ursula Blanchard and I have seen little development from her. In the first novel the reader is promised a woman who is intelligent, full of wit, and determined to a fault. Ursula is det...
3 and a half stars for the fifth novels starring Ursula Blanchard and crew. While this novel wasn't anything spectacular, I felt like it finally sets up the coming books for something good. The whole Elizabeth I vs. Mary Queen of Scots drama is building (we all know how that ends) and Ursula is fina...
Three and a half stars for the fourth adventure featuring Ursula Blanchard. The mystery itself in this novel was the best of the series so far but Ursula's personal life continues to be a major hindrance to my enjoyment. I have previously made mention of my irritation about all the Matthew pinning U...
Ursula. Ursula. Ursula. Some of the determination that made me start to love you in [b:To Shield the Queen|388674|To Shield the Queen (Ursula Blanchard, #1)|Fiona Buckley|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1325787198s/388674.jpg|2208431] quickly disappeared with your next adventure.

The debut of Ursula Blanchard was excellent. Generally I find that when I book is the first in a series, the author spends a large majority of the book giving the main protagonist a background story. I like in this instance how the author gives us what we need to know at the beginning and then succe...
