I love a good historical adventure/romance. And I LOVE when there is an accent involved. I can always hear the lovely brogue in my head but cannot replicate it on my own. Regardless I thought this was an exciting, extremely well written adventure that held my attention from the very first page. Exciting, passionate, and action packed, this book had my attention immediately. I loved this book and cannot wait to read more in this universe.

I love historical fiction and this book sounded like it was right up my alley. Kang weaves a rich tale based in the pre WWII Chicago. I found the premise fascinating and found myself invested in the characters fairly quickly. Overall I found this to be a good read but one I believe I will more greatly appreciate in the context of the larger universe within the series. I look forward to picking up the next book.

This is my first historical pirate romance story. I would have to say that this story grabbed me from the first page until the last. The story’s foundation is solid which makes it believable. The characters are complex and fully developed. I love the idea that a pirate learns to love more than the sea air and the treasure they find/loot/steal. Valen is a new captain of a pirate ship. He thought that he would never have romance as his life is on the seas. That all halted when he found Lady Bridget. He has fallen for her but there is one problem, she is betrothed to another man. There are some tough decisions that Lady Bridget needs to make and Valen needs to live with the decisions that she makes. Will the high seas call to Lady Bridget? Can Valen be a new captain and respect the decisions that are made? Will he fight for the woman he falls for? I highly recommend reading this story to find out these answers and so much more.

Rescued by Valan (The Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders) by Jennifer Siddoway an original action adventure romance story. I am new to Jennifer’s writing style, but I found it easy to read and enjoyed the characters. The story starts off a little slow but soon picks up speed and intensity. Who doesn’t love a good Pirate story? I will leave it to you to make your own opinion and keep the spoilers to myself.

Rescued by Valan (The Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders #2) by Jennifer Siddoway Was a great 5 star read. This was a great historical romance, I was pulled right in by the authors writing.
Lady Bridget has an arranged marriage and is on her way to go through with the wedding, when her ship is overtaken by pirates. When she meets Valan there are instant sparks. Will the hot pirate interfere with her plans?
Valan is a new captain of the MacNeil clan, so getting a big treasure would be great. What he didn’t expect to find was a woman that he finds himself very attracted to.
We get so much in this great read, action, danger, romance, and so much more. I really liked both characters very much. They were perfect for each other. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, you feel like you are right there with the characters. This can be read as a standalone. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great pirate romance this is the book for you, 1-click and get started today.

Rescued by Valan by Jennifer SIddoway is the second book in the Pirates of Barra: Highland Raiders series. This is a well written and exciting book with just the right amount of romance to it. This book can be read as a standalone. Overall I have to say I definitely enjoyed this book. I liked the clear difference in the main characters: the sweet innocence of Bridget and the experience and rawness of Valan. Even though on paper they wouldn’t work at all the author did a good job of them complimenting each other. The story I found to be engaging and knew how to keep me interested. It definitely felt exciting to read although there were a few times where it felt like it could have done with just a bit more depth. However if you want something that you can lose yourself in for a few hours and have a great time then you should read this book.

I love historical romance but not usually during this time period but when I read the synopsis for this book I decided to give it a go and I really enjoyed it. I have read books by this author previously and I really like her detailed writing style, she really brings her stories to life through her imaginative writing. I can always easily imagine what I am reading and I think that it really helps when reading historical stories. The characters were probably younger than I usually read about but their story was heart-warming to read about. Overall an enjoyable coming of age story, one that I really enjoyed and would recommend. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Rose of Anzio – Moonlight (Volume 1): a WWII Epic Love Story By Alexa Kang 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Rose of Anzio – Moonlight (Volume 1): a WWII Epic Love Story by Alexa Kang. It is a historical fiction story that had me hooked from the very beginning. The author does an amazing job of making the storyline and the characters come alive. I felt like I was right there with the characters. I loved the characters of Tessa Graham and Anthony Ardley. Tessa is 14 years old and in an unfamiliar country. Sent to the US to keep her safe. Anthony is a young man who while going to college also finds that the world is changing as the draft and joining the war are at his doorstep. I grew to care about Tessa and Anthony with each chapter that I read. Tessa has such an independent spirit and a kind heart. Anthony is a young man who is realizing that he has to choose his path forward. This story had moments that are saddening and others that touched my heart. This is a story that I thought about even after I had finished the last page. Don’t miss out on an amazing story that will have you turning pages to find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading it.

There is action, danger, and romance included. I loved the characters of Valan and Lady Bridget MacKay. Valan is the newest pirate captain for Clan MacNeil. While he is young, he also has been well trained. He is also handsome and charming. When he rescues Lady Bridget, he never expected to fall for her.

They are such great characters who made the story easy to read. It is an engaging, fast paced story that kept me turning pages to the end.

Rose of Anzio-Moonlight is the first book in the Rose of Anzio seriesby Alexa Kang. This is my first read from Ms. Kang- and I am happy to say that after reading this fabulous story, it won’t be my last. I have to be honest though, as I wasn’t sure I was going to even like this story when I first started it- but after a few chapters I was definitely hooked and ended up reading it in one sitting. This is a superb coming of age historical story, set during WWII- it’s a captivating period piece with plenty of drama, self-discovery, politics, history, and romance. Fearing for Tessa Graham’s safety as war closes in, her family sends her (from England) to stay in Chicago. There, she is thrust into the unfamiliar world of wealth and privilege- but soon discovers that there is another side to this new society. With music and dancing, romance and coming of age, politics and choices, all interwoven within a social snapshot of the times- makes this quite a captivating read. Looking forward to the next book in the series!

I enjoyed this story. This is a pirate romance story that pulled me in right from the beginning. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life. They bring action and romance to a new level. I had no problems connecting with the characters. The story is engaging and kept me turning pages to the end. This is a story about Valen who is a new captain of a ship. He never thought about finding romance on the sea until he meets Lady Bridget. She is promised to another but she can’t help having feelings for Valen. What will fate have in store for these two? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with these two. They made such great characters and really made the story for me. They have great chemistry together and I found myself hoping they would find a way to be together. You don’t want to miss reading what happens to these two.

Summer 1940. Fourteen-year-old Tessa Graham finds herself in a new, unfamiliar world. For her safety, she is sent from England to Chicago to live with the prominent Ardley family just before the London Blitz. Stifled by the ways of the rich, she is soon drawn to the city’s infamous South Side. A world filled with jitterbug dancing and intrigues of the powerful Irish community. But is this the escape she really wants?
On the University of Chicago campus, eighteen-year-old Anthony Ardley has to make a choice. His country stands at the brink of war. Conscription threatens to become reality. As sole heir to the Ardley fortune, should he stand with his beloved uncle, a staunch isolationist, or join his radical classmates clamoring for American intervention?
What will happen when Tessa and Anthony cross paths on the way to discovering themselves?
A coming of age tale that emerges into an epic love story, this book takes you back to Chicago in the pre-war era, when two young people must find their paths in a world that is fast falling out of control.

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy Book 1) by Lucinda Race, was really a great love story. There are so many things about this story that makes it a great love story. I think what I like the most about it, is the strength of the family, how the family bonds are threaded throughout the entire book. Not only with the sisters in this little tale but also the brothers. Because you know if you have a love story involving sisters then you also have to have brothers. This is a story about three sisters, Jamie, Kenzie, and Grace and their friends Steve and Caleb. It’s a love story that you will feel good reading and you will feel even better at the end. Do be aware there is one little mature situation but it in no way distracts from the story. When you need a feel good read this one will do the trick.

Wow! did I get into this book 🙂 I couldn’t put it down! I just got swept up in the whole story with the three sisters and their Grandmother <3 The author does a wonderful job pulling you in!

Jamie, Kenzie and Grace are all career drive ladies. A relative passed away and they are given an family heirloom along with a prophecy will these things actually come true. Or is it all a old fairytale. This is a very heart warming story about sisterhood and bonds. This is a heart-warming story to read.

It’s been a while since I last read a regency romance novel, but I really enjoyed this one. Although at times the plot and characters get a little stereotypical and predictable, with an ‘enemies to lovers’ type of storyline, I really enjoyed the humour. The main characters Genevieve and Sebastian were mostly believable too. This was a quick, easy read.

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress Book 1 (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy)
Lucinda Race 4 out of 5 stars
Old and New is the first book in the MacLellan Sisters Trilogy. This was the first book I have read by Lucinda Race but as I have found often with new to me authors lately, it will not be my last. I am the middle child, between two sisters so the sisterhood aspect of this novel, or trilogy is what drew me in initially. Old and New was an engaging read with imagery that transports you to the same time and place as the characters. I was interested in the story and the characters from the first page to the last and I am excited to know there are more books to come. If you are in the mood for a charming read, I really do recommend this one.

I am so going to love this trilogy from Lucinda Race! Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress, is the first in the trilogy and sets things up rather beautifully for a wild and magical ride until the end. I adored this book and the premise, along with the sisters, and fell in love with them pretty quickly. The banter in this novel makes you feel as if you are right there, as it flows beautifully. I can’t wait to see how the next few books unfold as well.
In this one we meet all three sisters, Grace, Kenzie, and Jamie, with Jamie being the eldest and the first sister that we get to know really well in this book. The girls lost their Gran and an extremely valuable package with an enchanted wedding dress and more from her after her death. Each of the girls doubt that the dress will do anything for them and rather enjoy the single life. So what happens when Jamie takes the plunge and slips on the dress? For the magic and more details you will have to read this gem for yourself. I cannot wait until I get my hands on the next book in this series!

Valan thought it was impossible to find love on the open sea. He was wrong.
The newest pirate captain of Clan MacNeil has something to prove. When he goes in search of treasure, Valan may have bitten off more than he prepared for. When they stumble upon a woman in need, his fate seems fit to change. Something about the sharp-tongued lass that manages to capture his attention and makes him reconsider his vow of bachelorhood once and for all.
Lady Bridget MacKay is young, beautiful, and in desperate need of help. When her ships traveled south to fulfil her promise of marriage, they were set upon by pirates. It isn’t until Valan and his crew rescue her that she manages to escape. Will Bridget go forward with her upcoming marriage, or leave it all behind to seek adventure with handsome pirate who loves her?

Wow, this book was an amazing read that kept me guessing throughout. At first, I was a little frustrated by the largely one POV but then I realised that helped add to the mystery. The characters were supremely well developed – at times they frustrated me and at times I was cheering them on – just like you would anyone in your life I’m sure. This was the first of Lucinda Race’s books that I have read, but it won’t be the last – beginning with the other two books in this trilogy!

This is the first book that I have read from this author and wow she blew me away. This book is the perfect way to start an addictive sereis. I love a good small town romance but this author exceeded all my expectations. You can’t help but to fall in love with these characters. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a couple of days to devour this amazing story.

A Duke Never Forgets (The Duke Hunters Club Book 3) by Bianca Blythe was a funny romantic read. I enjoyed the banter between the family. The historical aspect added to the story and was a great addition. I loved Genevieve, such a strong and dutiful character. She works hard to see the positive of her situation. I loved all the details and character development. The plot kind of reminded me of While You Were Sleeping, I really enjoyed the story.

A Duke Never Forgets by Bianca Blythe is the third book in The Duke Hunters Club. Luckily this can be read as a standalone because I haven’t read the other books in the series. What happens when Duke of Sandridge has a swimming accident? Lots, and I’m not going to give it away. This story follows what happens to the Duke and Genevieve. There is lots of mistaken identities, lies, double lies, and all for a good reason. Will they get a happily ever after or remain enemies? You will have to read this delightful book to find out. This is a quick read but is full of humor and more. I always have liked historical fiction especially the Regency era and this gave me a quick and fun read. I look forward to reading more from Bianca Blythe in the future.

Recently I have started reading historical romance books. This story is a historical romance with a twist. Bianca Blythe does an amazing job with this plotline. I felt engaged throughout the story. Her descriptive writing style makes a beautiful picture in my mind’s eye. This story is about Sebastian and Genevieve’s story, These characters are fully developed and are easy to relate to. Genevieve is a young woman who is living in a cottage with her mother and young brother, They are down on their luck. She is renting from Sebastian’s family. Sebastian comes home to find out that the cottage is being rented to someone he does not care for, to say the least. Then there is a swimming accident involving Sebastian and the tides turn. Genevieve’s mother is trying to take advantage of the situation. Will Genevieve’s mother’s plans work? Will Sebastian ever remember what is going on? Will Genevieve’s family welfare become better since the accident? I highly recommend this book to find out the answers to these questions and more.

A Duke Never Forgets is the third book in the Duke Hunters Club series by Bianca Blythe. I have not read a historical romance in quite a few years, but this was a great one to return to this genre with. The story is well written and the characters are well defined. Sebastian and Genevieve have chemistry, and the witty banter is fun to read. This is the first book I have read by Bianca Blythe, but definitely won’t be the last. I think I will go back and read the first two books in this series. Review by @sunbarn

Old and New: The Enchanted Wedding Dress (The MacLellan Sisters Trilogy Book 1) by Lucinda Race is a wonderful romance story. It is nice to read something that is original and different from the norm. The story flows nicely although at times it seemed a little rushed but you are soon swept away on the journey from Vermont to Scotland and I love Scotland so it was easy to see the author’s vision. I loved the family dynamics and camaraderie, their support and friendship and family bonds to each other.
The story focuses around the MacLellan sisters and a wedding dress with a legend.
I am looking forward to see what Lucinda gives us next.

“Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all”, except this time, the magic is not in the mirror, but is on the onlooker of the mirror, who is to don a specific attire. The seeker is supposed to try on a “wedding dress” and look into the mirror to foresee her prince charming. The series is a trilogy about three sisters, which makes me think that each book belongs to one sister. The plot of the first book revolves around the oldest sister Jamie. Jamie along with the two sisters Grace and Kenzie visits her grandparent’s homestead in Scotland, after their grandmother passes away. Their father inherits the farm. Their grandmother leaves them a wedding dress, their family heirloom as an inheritance to the sisters along with a letter and a brooch. The sisters first laugh it off, but out of curiosity, the oldest, Jamie tries the wedding dress just to know if the mirror will show her current date as her prince charming. But the fate, the wedding dress and the mirror have a surprise planned for her when she is caught unaware between two twins, one who fits her requirements perfectly and the other who stirs her heart. Whom will Jamie choose? A very sweet romance story, perfect to be made as a rom-com movie. Loved it. And a story which also explores the relationship between the three sisters.

I really enjoyed this romantic novel with a magical twist, it’s book one in a trilogy by Lucinda Race which centres around the MacLellan sisters. Jamie, Kenzie and Grace are sisters who are all independent, feisty and single. This novel concentrates on Jamie who at the beginning of the story vows that she will never get married. However all that changes when an enchanted wedding dress from her great-grandmother arrives. The wedding dress is a family heirloom which is also supposedly enchanted. Family legend says that any descendant of their great-grandmother who tries the dress on will see her future revealed in the mirror. Unable to resist her curiosity Jamie try’s the beautiful dress on, and to her astonishment she sees a shadow of a man in the mirror. Jamie does not believe that Steve, the lawyer she has been dating is that man and when his twin brother Caleb arrives she instantly knows that it’s Caleb who is the man she’s fated to be with. As well as having to overcome the fact that she is already dating his brother, Jamie also has to decide what she wants her future to be, as Caleb lives a vagabond life. As well as the romance between Jamie and Caleb the storyline also focuses on the relationships between the very different but very loyal sisters. I loved all three of the sisters characters and enjoyed getting to know Jamie in this novel and look forward to finding out more about Kenzie and Grace over the next two books in this series. I found this to be a wonderfully written story with lovely characters that I really cared for and I felt immersed in their world whilst reading this story. It’s an easy read as the storyline flows along nicely and the plot has enough going on in it that it kept me happily turning the pages. Lucinda Race is a new author to me and I am pleased to have discovered her and I look forward to reading future books by her. ‘Old and New’, is a lovely whimsical family drama and romance which is a perfect book to escape into and one which I definitely recommend.
