REVIEW: Bold Destiny by Jane Feather

JayneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book ReviewsAfghanistan / Historical / War / Military18 Comments

Dear Mrs. Feather, When I open one of your older books, I know I’m probably going to be treated to something different. Something I probably won’t get from a more recently written novel. “Bold Destiny” doesn’t disappoint. Kabul, Afghanistan in 1841/42 is definitely not where a British person wanted to ... more >

REVIEW: An Affair of Honor by Pamela Cummings

JayneB ReviewsBoston / Civil-War / War / MilitaryComments Off on REVIEW: An Affair of Honor by Pamela Cummings

Dear Mrs. Cummings, I read your novel “My Rebel Belle” (TBH, I still cringe at that title) and quickly bought the rest of your published books. I had a feeling that “An Affair of Honor” might tie in with it and indeed it does, telling the story of the US ... more >

REVIEW: Shadow Patriots by Lucia St. Clair Robson

Dear Ms. St Clair Robson, I began reading historical fiction at an early age and devoured books by Jean Plaidy and Norah Lofts. I’ve only read one of your other books (Ride the Wind) but it gave me an idea of what to expect from this one. I adore a ... more >

REVIEW: Her Heart’s Captain by Elizabeth Mansfield

JayneB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book ReviewsHistorical / military hero / Regency England / trad regency / War / Military3 Comments

Dear Readers, I loved this book. After the disaster I had with the first Mansfield I tried (Passing Fancies) I wasn’t sure how I would do with another one of her books. Thankfully, this one is great. Jenny and her mother have always adored Jenny’s younger brother, Robbie. He can ... more >

REVIEW: Taking Liberties by Diana Norman

JayneA Review Category / A- Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended Reads18th-century / Diana-Norman / England / Smugglers / War / Military4 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Mrs. Norman, One thing I can always count on in your books is that I’ll get to read about one or more strong women. And that these women won’t be doing silly things like swinging broadswords while in full suits of chain mail. “Taking Liberties” gives us two female ... more >
