Swept back in time to Nazi-held France, concert pianist and composer Erin Meyer protects members of the Resistance by ghost-writing music for an influential German officer. She’s now performing for her life. Caught in a maze of betrayal and death, Erin rescues a downed British pilot and helps him evade capture.

Erin’s attraction to Arick could prove deadly as the German officer who holds the key to Erin’s return demands more than she is willing to give. For Erin, time is running out.

Nightfall in Deptford (Crescent Moon Chronicles #4)Nightfall in Deptford by L.E. Towne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I dug right into this book with wide eyes as I leapt into a new world in this book. I often read books that take you places with joy to be able to step outside of my reality into fantasy. This story is full of time travel, lots of interesting detail, and a love story. I love memoirs and biographies but there’s nothing like a love story to lift me high off the ground. I was excited to watch her try and navigate time travel to the 16th century trying to live with her love for this man! You don’t want to miss this one! I’m looking forward to finding time to revert back to book one and understand the layers even further. Enjoy!

Three stories. One destination.

 

A swamp rat-turned lady, a hotshot southern attorney, and a small-town dreamer endure life’s cruel twists on the way to Hollywood’s swanky Mansfield Supper Club.

Louisiana, 1927. A brutal fate sweeps seventeen-year-old Francie Roubideaux from the Louisiana bayou to the iron rule of Miss Claire in New Orleans. She survives using her daddy’s wits and mama’s grace, but fickle fortune isn’t done with her yet….

Illinois, 1937. Rose Donovan’s dreary small-town life takes a turn when a New York City music man whisks her away to Hollywood. But soon she’s torn between addictive passion and another man’s arms…and more than Rose’s heart is on the line.

Georgia, 1936. A rising star on the Atlanta legal circuit, Beau Hartwell is the envy of every lawyer in the city…until his past desperately comes to call. Can big-city Beau handle backwoods justice, or will the case break more than his career?

In one fateful night, their worlds collide in ways no one saw coming…

Divided LivesDivided Lives by K.R. Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author writes wonderful, cozy, mysteries that are unique, and they are great to curl up with and read straight through to the end. Her ideas are original, thrilling, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Divided Lives seems to have connections to this authors other cozy mysteries series, The Notebook Mysteries, and I can attest that if you enjoyed those you will absolutely enjoy this book. As a historical fiction, crime fiction, and true crime fan this book was right up my alley. It was actually based on a true case that was a big contributor to the story. Lottie, our main character, is unashamedly bi-sexual which is another main theme throughout the book, which during this time period was mostly kept under wraps, and secret, and that sets the stage for the blackmail the main character and many others are the target of. Another big focus of the story is how woman are ‘supposed’ to look and ‘supposed’ to behave and I really enjoyed how Lottie pushed through, and busted all of those barriers. I did have a hard time at first with all of the bouncing between the past, and the present, that I usually don’t have issues following, but I found this did smooth out as the book progressed. Overall, this was a wonderful read and I enjoyed all of the authors original thoughts. I would definitely recommend this book to others who enjoy the same genre.

This story mostly follows Lottie, a female lawyer working for a corrupt justice, and how her life intertwines with an historic murder trial involving gangsters and police taking bribes. Lottie is bisexual, but must maintain a conservative appearance for her job. Once the trial gets assigned to her justice, she and her friends begin working behind the scenes to uncover who’s behind a blackmailing plot to manipulate the court proceedings and outcome. The characters are fun and interesting, and I enjoyed the historical tale.

A companion to the internationally bestselling novel, The Brass Compass, Operation Blackbird takes the reader on a spy adventure from South America to Europe during a time when the yoke of Communism is tightening the reins on an unwilling people.

————— 

October, 1952. The war is over, but for CIA officer Miriam Becker, memories of the horrors she witnessed remain jagged in her mind. While vacationing in Argentina, recovering from a mission that nearly killed her, she’s seeing more ghosts from the past than the sights. 

When a longtime family friend and fellow operative, Jake Devlin, tracks her down, Miriam is forced to push everything to the back of her mind for the next mission: help a highly prized and heavily guarded rocket scientist defect from Russian-controlled East Berlin—right out from under the KGB’s nose. 

Well aware that one wrong move could spark World War III, Miriam, Jake, and the team plan their strategy to the last detail. But when a betrayal brings everything crashing down, Jake’s quick thinking creates the diversion to get Miriam out alive—but leaves him trapped behind the Iron Curtain. 

Unsure of whom she can trust, Miriam must complete the mission by relying on contacts outside of the agency, even though her heart longs to return to East Berlin to rescue the man who is the last link to her to her troubled past … before the KGB gets to him first.

Nightfall in Deptford (Crescent Moon Chronicles #4)Nightfall in Deptford by L.E. Towne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a pretty interesting read and even though it’s part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I do want to go back and read the previous books for more context on this story though. I do get a little confused when there is a dual timeline as I struggle to keep the different parts separate, yet together.

It’s the year 1593 and Christopher Marlowe is in trouble. The playwright is being taken to the White Tower but he’s desperate to get a message to his love, Tam, in the present day. Tam’s a homicide detective who can possibly help him out, but then again, maybe it would be best if he handled this on his own.

This book is about time travel, detectives, love, fae, shapeshifters, and more! It’s full of mystery, intrigue, high stake choices, and more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lottie lives two lives. In one life she works as a clerk for Justice Goff, the other she hangs in the balance with a secret lover and rejection of tradition.

When a high profile case comes into the office, Lottie finds her two lives meeting and wreaking havoc. She’s now facing blackmail if she doesn’t do what they want and must determine what, if anything, the blackmail has to do with the police officers case and who is involved.

I really enjoyed reading this! When I first picked it up I was excited to try a new title from an author I had read some Young Adult material from (Notebook Mysteries). As I was reading, several names popped up that were also in those books and at first I was a bit confused not realizing they were connected until I was a bit further in.

The author enjoys going back and forth between past and present within her books and it can get a little confusing if it’s not something you are used to. However, I feel like it was much easier to follow in this book and I enjoyed the glimpses into Lottie’s past to help solidify where she was in the present state of mind.

Fun, somewhat suspenseful read and I’m looking forward to more.

The author does it again with the historical fiction series I love so much! Divided lives was a jam packed book filled with twists and turns, just like the author is known for. The important part of the story is to recall that Lottie is living in historical times, and has this lover that is a woman that she has a somewhat secret separate life with, aside from her role as a law clerk by day. Well just like any book by this author there is a huge mystery to solve, and the threat of losing her secret by night is looming, as she investigates her own boss! Lottie goes through so much in this story and the suspense will have you on the edge of your seat! What happens? Well YOU need to read this book to find out!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bycatch is Alexander’s well-crafted debut book. If this is his first book then I can’t wait to see what he does next because this was soooo good. This suspenseful historical thriller is one that you will not put down because you just have to know what is coming next so the pages keep turning.

This beautifully and cleverly written tale is an historical thriller takes us from one extreme to the next. From war to shrimp, from one continent to another and two men from completely different backgrounds and cultures but are forced together. Greed, secrets and lies, revenge and crimes, grief and remorse, guilt and forgiveness.

Alexander’s descriptive narrative and raw and flawed characters made this story come alive and showing how humanity is unforgiving in some ways and redeeming in others but life is a frail thing.

Aleander Blevens is one author for you to watch closely and savour his stories. I know I will.

What an amazing book! I was intrigued from the moment I read the synopsis. One action, seemingly innocuous, can have ripple effects that last decades and impact generations. The two main characters experience tremendous growth and development throughout the timeline, while others do not. Readers experience the power of forgiveness, and witness the devastating results of generational poor parenting.

Having read one of The Notebook Mysteries by the same author, I can’t believe I didn’t click that Aunt Emma was the same Emma! No wonder I loved the character of Lottie and her varied group of friends. It was once again fantastic to read about the US at the beginning of the 20th Century and to have adventures with female heroines who do not fit the stereotypes of the time! Love a strong female lead! Will definitely be looking for more from this author and her wonderful characters!

This life leads her into a situation involving blackmail and murder. This book kept me turning pages to find out what would happen next.

What an astounding book by K. R. Mullins! Let me just say that if you love her other books from the Notebook Mystery series, then you will totally appreciate reading about the same family but with the main character being Lottie, Emma’s niece. This book is very well-written, and all the feels are in it. The author gives us a bit of background information about the trial of Officer Charles Becker conspiracy trial and sets the stage for a very dramatic story of blackmail, love, crime, family, and betrayal.
Lottie lives in Greenwich village which is known to not follow the mainstream traditions of a big city, but the problem is she is a lawyer for a justice in New York City. So, she must keep her personal life detached or divided from her professional life: so much in fact that while she commutes on her motorbike to work wearing pants but once she arrives at the office she changes into a skirt and adds a clip to her hair so that her short hair is covered and appears to be long hair which was appropriate for women in 1912. From the beginning we see her personal life and her professional life collide as she is blackmailed of pictures with her and her female lover in a compromising situation. Emotions run tense as we find out who is the culprit behind the blackmail and just how many others have been taken advantage of by this lowlife person. With the support of her family and a police officer named Frank, Lottie is saved and can then truly be the person she was meant to be without living a divided life. The characters are easy to love or hate depending on their role in Lottie’s life and the storyline is amazing. The historical information in the book is interesting and really helps set the stage for why a divided life was kept by Lottie and how not all people who wear robes are to be taken at face value. Corruption is in all areas of life and in all sections of the workplace. You must read this book!!!! I just cannot say enough about how wonderful this book really is!!

Divided Lives by K.R. Mullins

Divided Lives by K.R. Mullins is literally everything I love about a wonderfully written Historical Mystery Romance, its loaded with mystery , suspense ,love ,and even a little blackmail. It’s based on actual events that took place in 1912 Greenwich Village. This author continues to blow me away with each book she writes. I get lost in the pages and get so caught up with following what’s going on that I tend to tune everything around me out. Her style of writing flows and her attention to detail along with fully developed characters make for an amazing story. I loved reading about Lottie who is a court clerk by day and at night a completely different person. But what will happen when her two lives collide and she finds herself caught up in a blackmail situation? I highly recommend reading this book to find out. This one is by far my favorite yet and I’ve read several of her books. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Divided Lives is a historical fiction tale set in early 20th New York. I have read books by this author before and was intrigued by the blurb about the story. I enjoy stories set in 19th-century Britain but this did not disappoint. Lottie works as a court clerk and wants to keep her professional, and personal life separated. As she becomes embroiled in a high-profile court case, this separation becomes more difficult.
I liked that the author’s information about a real court case during this time period made the story all the more interesting. I enjoyed learning about Lottie. She is intelligent and multi-faceted. I hope that there are more books to continue Lottie’s story. I can imagine that they would be quite interesting.

This book is so well written and vividly captures the era and location that the author has chosen. The characters and their complexities completely make this book and create a depth and intensity I wasn’t quite expecting. The story really drew me in and I think the author has done an amazing job at writing something that makes you think like this one does.
For me what really made this book so good was the setting the author chose for the story. I think it added an extra layer to story. I thought the overall pacing of the book was just right and the author knew exactly what to do to keep you engaged. This is one of those books that caught me by surprised but I enjoyed rom start to finish.

This turn-of-the-century historical fiction is a great mystery to cozy up with (don’t forget some piping hot tea and fuzzy blanket because you will want to read well past your bedtime!) Once I picked up this book, it was hard for me to put it down and engage in real life – that’s how I know it’s a good one. The setting and characters are set up and developed very well and make for an easy read. I appreciate the back story that the author weaves throughout this book to make Lottie come alive and jump off the page. I have read the Notebook series by this author – and love it – so I knew I would love this one. I was not disappointed. I love the way this author paints the scenes and develops the characters to make you become so invested in their stories that the pages turn without much effort. I highly recommend this author and this book.

This was a great historical read. I enjoyed reading how New York society was back in the 1900’s, especially in Manhattan. The differences between Greenwhich Village and Manhattan was hugely different in the ways of life. We follow Lottie Flannigan as se tries to navigate between the two differences while holding down a job as a clerk for Justice Geoff. All of a sudden thrown into a blackmail scheme, Lottie is a little lost as to what she should do. But, she handles it like a champ and mages to find her way back again. She is very dedicated to this case involving Police Officer Charles Becker. She puts her whole heart and soul into this case, and you can tell that this is the kind of person she is. This book was wonderfully written, and I enjoyed the historical aspects of it. It certainly had me guessing and trying to figure things out from start to end!

This was an interesting read! It’s very reminiscent of the authors Notebook Mysteries series, and there are even some references to the characters from that series. You don’t have to read that series to read this book, it’s more or less like an Easter egg. This was en enthralling and mysterious read (it is a mystery crime book) with some thrilling scenes sprinkled in which just what I’ve come to expect from this author. I loved the historical and even scandalous aspects of this book too. I felt a little like a rebel reading it! I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read more in the future!

This is a story about the historical police and judicial corruption in New York City during the early twentieth century. Per her usual, the author features a strong heroine who works in a typically male-dominated field. I found it thrilling to see the glimpses into the professional life of a pioneering female attorney. It was very interesting to see some of the hidden culture of that time period. The characters face issues in their lives that resonate with people today.

I really enjoyed Nightfall in Deptford. It is a unique time travel historical paranormal/fantasy tale where the story is in two different time periods and years but goes back and forth between 1593 London and current Philadelphia. A playwright, a Homicide Detective, criminals, fae and shifters are only some of what you can expect in this tale.

I was so captivated with this story that I didn’t realise that it is actually the fourth book in the series. I suggest going back and reading them in order. I didn’t really feel I missed out as I was reading it but will go back and start at the beginning.

L.E. is a new author to me and I was engrossed with her narrative and world building. The story is made all that more interesting as one of the characters is a real historical figure.

Tam is a fixer but to do what she does best she must travel through time. Now she must choose love or keeping the time line of the future intact. What would you do when it comes to love?

I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

A more grown up mystery by K.R Mullins (Kimberly Mullins) of the Notebook Mysteries (a YA series).
I had very high hopes for this one, and it lived up to all my expectations! Mullins doesn’t disappoint! This book could easily be read by lovers of a few genres, historical fiction, true crime, mystery. Mullins ties in all 3 genres beautifully. Her character tie-in from her notebook mystery series, is something that made me love this even more. (It is not at all necessary to read the separate series, but it is a great series). This was an easier read, could have easily been read in one sitting if my schedule allowed. A must read for sure!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is amazing! Very fast read and I love the story line, even though I read it out of order!

Everything you need in a story; conspiracy, judgement, love, action, time travel, and so much more!

You’ll meet Tam who isn’t your ordinary every day detective in Philly, instead she’s got a secret second life that she’s been dealing with since the age of 15. You’ll also meet all of her friends that help her through everything that she has to face. In this book, Tam gets sent back to 1593 and has to deal with life during that age. The smells, the work, the norm back then is way different than what she’s used to.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lottie, who is kin to Emma in the Notebook series of books by this same author, is serving as a clerk of the court. There is a high profile case that has come to the judge she is working for and the judge is pushing to get this case through quickly. So many things aren’t adding up to Lottie, and then some pictures arrive at her home. Lottie isn’t ashamed of her bohemian, free-spirited, bisexual lifestyle but these pictures come with a threat. Can she keep her private and personal live separated until this trial is over or is she going to have to disclose some very intimate and private details?

This book is based on actual historical events that have taken place. That’s one thing I really appreciate about this author! This book is definitely more geared for adults as there are some highly sensitive issues covered in it. I love the suspense of the story and how Emma and other characters from the Notebook series make small cameo visits!
