Solving Sophronia

4 comments
SOLVING SOPHRONIA
by Jennifer Moore

Lady Sophronia Bremerton is a far cry from the typical debutante, but she’s the toast of London’s upper class for one simple reason: she’s a society columnist for the London Illustrated News, and the gentry loves seeing their exploits printed in the gossip pages. But Sophie has bigger plans—she aspires to be an investigative reporter. When a stuffy ballroom during yet another Season proves to be nothing more than the usual rumor mill, Sophie seeks respite in the library, alongside four other young women who, for their own reasons, are also looking for escape. As the conversation turns to their secret ambitions, the women form a sisterhood and a bold plan: they will make their dreams a reality, no matter the obstacles. Thus begins the Blue Orchid Society.

Hearing of a murder in a London rookery, Sophie seizes the opportunity to prove her skills. Detective Jonathan Graham doesn’t believe a civilian, a noblewoman at that, should be anywhere near a murder investigation, but Sophie insists on helping bring the killer to justice. Her investigative prowess doesn’t go unnoticed by the police, especially Jonathan, who can’t decide whether this intrepid reporter is a thorn in his side or the woman of his dreams. But as the case grows more complicated and dangerous, their very lives—and their hearts—may be at risk.

A Proper Charade

A PROPER CHARADE
by Esther Hatch

Does love have a chance if she doesn’t play by the rules?

Lady Patience Kendrick was born to a life of privilege, and with the London Season looming, she finds herself facing unprecedented pressure to adhere to the rules of society. Unfortunately, the free-spirited young woman is anything but proper. Patience’s elder brother, a former military man, bemoans his sister’s antics—but when he accuses her of incurable frivolity, it is simply more than she can bear. Determined to prove her brother wrong, Patience undertakes a drastic experiment: she will disguise herself as a maid and demonstrate her ability to work as hard as anyone.

Taken on as household staff by her brother’s former general, Patience soon learns that willingness and ability are two very different things. While her plan sounded promising in theory, the reality is that she is out of her depth—and the irresistibly charming son of the house isn’t helping matters. Patience soon finds herself embroiled in a charade far more complicated than she imagined. With both her pride and her heart at stake, she is determined to prove her brother wrong—even as her plans spiral delightfully out of control.

Lakeshire Park

LAKESHIRE PARK
by Megan Walker

Brighton, England 1820

Amelia Moore is worried about her and her sister’s future. With their stepfather’s looming death, she knows they’ll soon be on their own—without an inheritance, home, or penny to their names. When an invitation arrives to join a house party at Lakeshire Park, Amelia is eager to encourage a match between her sister, Clara, and Sir Ronald. At least then, she’ll know her sister will be taken care of.

Little does she know that another guest, Mr. Peter Wood, is after the same goal for his sister. Starting with a quarrel over a glove, Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry—one that Amelia has no choice but to win. But competing against Peter—and eventually playing by his rules—makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim—her heart.

My Thoughts
A wonderfully delightful book! I adored the story line and the way the characters interacted with each other.. This is an enjoyable MUST-READ!

Because of You, Mom

BECAUSE OF YOU, MOM
by Deseret Book
illustrated by Katherine Blackmoore

Moms mend scraped knees and broken hearts, teach us life's most important lessons, and fill us with confidence and faith. The best things about who we are and who we can become are all because of Mom.

With charming illustrations this book shares some of the many ways moms help and teach us. At once tender and humorous, this short collection pays tribute to the important moms in our lives. And a special mom in your life is sure to know just how much you appreciate her when you personalize the page in the back with your very own, "Because of you, Mom . . .".

"Because of you, Mom, I am loved.
I feel supported, protected, and valued.
I know how to get back up when I stumble and fall.
And, when I get back up, I always have a cheerleader right there on the sidelines . . .
"Because of you, Mom, I know I am a child of God.
I know how to pray to Him—and how to listen when He speaks to me.
I dare to do right and dare to be true.
And I know that the gospel (and sometimes ice cream) solves most of life's problems."





My Thoughts
This is an adorable book! Perfect for Mother's Day, Birthday, or Christmas!
