Book Details
Author: Heidi Ashworth
Release Date: April 2014
Publisher: Dunhaven Place Publishing
Genre: Regency Romance

Oh how I LOVE a good Regency Romance! And this one is SO. SO. SO. GOOD!

When romance versus propriety...the heart always wins, but not without a chaperone, lots of gossip and possibly a scandal :)

Miss Elizabeth Armistead is betrothed to a British soldier, Duncan.

She was there, in India, when he had his accident and has been by his side during his healing.

Only he didn't heal fully, he was blinded.

But Elizabeth feels this is a blessing for she knows that he loves her for more than her beauty that he cannot even see anymore.

She is now awaiting his arrival in England where the banns will be read and the wedding will take place.

It is in London that she meets Mr. Colin Lloyd-Jones.

Colin is just getting over being betrayed and has sworn off all balls and the London season.

So he is quite brisk with Elizabeth when she shows up at his door needing help with her carriage.

But when he learns that she is already engaged he feels safe and lets his heart soften a little.

Their friendship grows as Elizabeth waits for her intended...

Now she finds herself with a decision to make...

Wait until you read the GREAT twist in the story towards the end!

So didn't see that coming!

LOVED. LOVED. LOVED. IT!
I SO HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

Author: Heidi Ashworth
Release Date: October 2013
Publisher: Dunhaven Place Publishing
Genre: Regency Holiday Romance

An incredibly delightful regency romance anthology for the upcoming holidays!

This is a short book to be fit in with all the hustle and bustle this time of year brings.

It is also an amazing book to put you in the holiday spirit!

You start off with a ghost story where a grieving widow and a handsome stranger are given the task to find out if the ghost in the graveyard is true or not...fun, fun tale as they draw out the finding to be together longer.

Then you have a Christmas story of a prize winning rose...and the true owner of said rose...and the Christmas spirit of giving and good will towards men that comes into play. A very sweet tale of a proud woman who humbly gives credit where credit is due.

And you end with the story of a man who has a mouth that turns down on one side and turns up on the other side making him look like he has a continual sneer...an enjoyable tale of a woman torn between loving this man and/or believing the incredible legend told by society about this man because of his expression and the character of his cousin.

A WONDERFULLY GREAT BOOK!

Start with all that is proper and romantic,
Add an air of royalty,
Throw in a love triangle, espionage, and duty to queen and country,
And you have this wonderful, amazing tale!

Miranda has come of age and is ready to make her formal debut into society. She is especially excited since "her Harry" has come back.

But when Harry shows up in lace and wants to be called Bertie, Miranda's parents wonder if it would be better for her to marry George.

George has always felt that Miranda belonged to him, but does he love her or just the title she will give him?

Can Harry keep everyone safe while acting the fool, yet still try to keep the love of Miranda?

Follow Miranda as she has her coming out, but keep your eye on Harry and George, for you never know what might happen as "Lord Haversham takes command."

Oh and wait until you meet Harry's mother...

SO WONDERFULLY GOOD!
