If I had known beforehand that this is a book from the same author as "The Healer's Apprentice", I wouldn't have bothered. BUT... in my defence: foreign country = new bookstores = books I can't find in my own country and/or cheaper books. So I go crazy and in spite of not having my guide with me, I ...
" Her's lord's own scent of lavender and warm masculinity. "Warm masculinity"? You honestly used that? I wasn't aware that was a thing.Silly phrasing aside, this was okay. I didn't dislike it quite as much as The Healer's Apprentice.But I'm seeing an annoying trend in this lady's books. Perfect main...
Summarizing it down to it's bare bones - Beauty and the Beast, a minor portion of Cinderella, with a Bible thrown in. Cinderella, simply being that the dad died and she's left with an idiot and selfish family. I wasn't sure that I would like this one for some reason, but I really enjoyed it. I'll ha...

It's not a Beauty and the Beast retelling in the classic way, no magic or curses. But of the damaged man, young beauty typ...

Kurz darauf starb ihr Vater an der Pest. Das bedeutete für die Familie Chapman eigentlich, dass sie wie di...
I picked this book up because it's set in England in medieval times. I'm a history geek, so this fit's me quite well. In addition I haven't read that many young adult books, which are set in the past.First I have to say that this book is an interesting read, the story line is not amazing but still d...
This is one of my NetGalley picks. As you can see, I went for the pretty cover, but the blurb isn't bad either. A historical romance. A choice between servitude and nunnery. The Beauty and the Beast. What's not to love?The year is 1352 and the place is a small village in England. Annabel Chapman's r...
