Succeeds Both as a Captivating Detective Tale and Rich Historical Novel By A Customer A prominent Los Angeles trial lawyer, author Patrick Lynch has penned a complex tale that succeeds both as a mystery amateur detective story and a rich historical novel. Set on the Southwest Mexican-American border just after World War I, “Calexico” features an unlikely central character in the person of Abraham Lincoln Heller, a Brooklyn-born Jewish doctor who has fled a New York persecutor to start a second life practicing in the California desert town of Brawley, California. Reluctantly drafted by a wealthy American to track down his playboy son who has gone missing in Mexico, Heller’s odyssey takes us deep into the cultural mix that swirled around the international border towns of the region: American speculators, ranchers and oil barons, Chinese workers and Japanese businessmen, Hindi laborers, Mexican revolutionaries and prostitution slavery rings. As captivating as it is as a detective story, where Lynch’s novel really shines and sets itself apart from the not infrequent lawyer-writes-murder-mystery genre, is at the level of a rich historical novel. Swirling around Heller’s are the turbulent historical events of the time, including some rarely covered by American historians – the turbulent struggles for political power in post-revolutionary Mexico between General Álvaro Obregón and President Venustiano Carranza; the effort by Baja leader Coronel Cantú to maintain autonomy for his prosperous region with the support of American interests including Los Angeles powerhouse Harry Chandler as well as the Japanese government seeking to outflank China’s economic interest in the region; and the warring factions in our own American government as President Woodrow Wilson lay secretly incapacitated in the White House. Lynch masterfully intertwines the two threads right to the climactic end of this fine novel. I can’t wait to start the second book in Lynch’s Abraham Lincoln Heller series, “Holtville” – set in the backdrop of the construction of the Boulder Dam.

The walls of Ninurta keep its citizens safe.

Kai always believed the only danger to the city came from within. Now, with a rebel force threatening the fragile government, the walls have become more of a prison than ever.

To make matters worse, as Avan explores his new identity as an Infinite, Kai struggles to remind him what it means to be human. And she fears her brother, Reev, is involved with the rebels. With the two people she cares about most on opposite sides of a brewing war, Kai will do whatever it takes to bring peace. But she’s lost her power to manipulate the threads of time, and she learns that a civil war might be the beginning of something far worse that will crumble not only Ninurta’s walls but also the entire city.

In this thrilling sequel to Gates of Thread and Stone, Kai must decide how much of her humanity she’s willing to lose to protect the only family she’s ever known.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A must read!! By Tonyalee All the FEELS.Gates of Thread and Stone was one of my favorite reads of 2014, so of course I would be all over The Infinite. To be quite honest, the is one of those rare occasions where the sequel is better than the first.The Infinite starts off not too long after Gates of Thread and Stone ended. Kai is staying at the White Court, struggling with the “loss” of Avan and now having lost access to the threads of time. Now that they are starting the rebuild of the city after the death of Ninu – the tension heats up with rebel sentinels, a brewing war and whether or not Kai can embrace her powers as Infinite.Hello, beautiful world. I mentioned in my review of Gates of Thread and Stone that I felt like the world building was info dumpy and I was lost on several occasions. But here, that was not the case. I ate it up! I can’t even explain how happy I am to get MORE of the world and how it’s branched out to the cities and countries surrounding Ninurta. It is nothing like I have ever “seen” and the descriptions are so vivid.Kai, in my opinion, has really come a long way and grown so much in The Infinite. She is still feisty, tough and so loyal to those that she loves. But she is now more involved with the political side of things, and has been training with Mason. She is struggling with guilt and she is really torn up about the events that lead Avan to becoming Infinite. She is also struggling with her powers and what it means for her if she embraces her Infinite side.The Infinite is full of angst. The scenes with Kai and Avan are so beautiful but heartbreaking at the same time. I couldn’t imagine having to see the one you love day in and day out, remembering everything but they remember nothing. And same goes Avan – to feel such a pull and strong emotions for someone who you can’t remember, and having to look at them knowing that they are suffering because you can’t remember and you’re not even sure you want to. But there is a lot of back and forth – on whether or not they will be together, or if they will ever be able to build a relationship. Avan doesn’t know who he is, literally. I was also a little thrown by the THING with Mason – but I thought it was handled well. It’s not a love triangle – to me. But that is all relative.Now, romance aside…I love that Lori doesn’t hold back. With anything. I have high respect for authors who are able to punch you in the gut with feels. Ones who kill off good people and main characters and have no hesitations about having their characters suffer. The Infinite has that ten fold. It adds more layers of despair and really makes you appreciate the characters and what they are going through. Also for what they are doing for the ones they love. Something major happens in the middle of the book – and I just could not handle it (in a good way). It was so sad… it was perfect. (I KNOW, I am awful).As with Gates of Thread and Stone – there were several plot twists thrown in. It’s actually quite hard to get into details without spoiling anything, so I wont even bother. Just know there are new characters introduced. New friends & enemies; more Mason. And death, betrayal, action, kissing and FEELS. ALL THE FEELS.Overall – If you couldn’t guess, I absolutely loved The Infinite. My heart was broken at the end, and I can’t wait for the next one — in hopes that Lori can mend it. I highly recommend this series if you haven’t started it yet.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. She's smart and savvy and still has that touch of hope ... By Trish Having read Gates of Thread and Stone and the intense ending Lori M. Lee left us at, I was eager to be able to dive into the next book in that what now seems to be a series, not a sequel! (At least I truly hope there is a next book!)I continue to adore Kai as a protagonist. She's smart and savvy and still has that touch of hope about her. She lets her guard down and she's worried and still in love and I think that is amazing. Too many authors shy away from their kicking female protag to be head over heels at times and sometimes make questionable choices.She's also not all knowing-- she trusts and while her instincts sort of tug at her, she still wants to believe the best.We start off a bit after the first book ended, with things still in unrest and turmoil and Kai reacting in a way that is something you can truly relate to. Soon, things speed up a bit when a messenger comes from across the Wastelands--shocking everyone and made me pleased as punch to have it said out that yes, there are other people out there. The messenger is there because of danger to their community and they ask for help. Kai is sent with a contingent of sentinels to assess the threat.(Forgive me, I should have re-read GoTaS before reading this one and can't recall if Lori said there were other settlements.)She brings us this other community, like and very much unlike her city.So I won't spell out the entire book, I'll say that I adore the details of the city of Lanathrill, the bits and pieces put together and then talk of /more/ people and how much the world had changed. You get beautiful glimpses of the society that was there before and it paints a vivid image.The twists and turns do keep you on your toes (I suspected one, but not another) and keeps you turning the pages for more of what is going to happen.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Amazing sequel to Gates of Thread and Stone By forsakenfates This book starts off a few months after the end of Gates of Thread and Stone. We have Kai, Reev, and Avan dealing with the aftermath of what happened. Kai is dealing with finding out just who she is and what her powers mean. The end of Gates of Thread and Stone left me with a lot of questions and while some of those were answered, I feel like I have even more after finishing the Infinite!I absolutely love Lori M. Lee’s writing. There is just something about it that immediately draws me in and keeps me entertained and desperate to find out what happens. This book starts out with an amazing line just like the first book did. I love the descriptions in this book. I am always vividly aware of what is around Kai.Kai continues to impress me as a strong character. Her development and characterization in this novel is amazing and in some ways even better than in the first book. I really loved how Kai dealt with the events of both the first book and this book. This book takes us even further outside of Ninurta into a new land called Lanathrill. I loved how Lee expanded the world in this book. We realize that other people exist outside the walls of Ninurta and Etu Gahl. I also loved the new characters we are introduced to. They were a great contrast to Kai especially because they grew up in a different “world”.My only real complaint with this book is the lack of Reev and Avan for a lot of it. Yes, they are in the beginning and end but the middle part of this book is lacking. I came to really love those two and we do not get very much of them in this book. Especially Reev, the first book was all about finding him and in this book we continue to be with Kai who is not with him. Not having Avan for most of this book was sad because I love Kai and his interactions and those were lacking. However, we did get to spend more time with Mason which was nice.This was another great installment in this series and I cannot wait to see what happens next! The ending especially left us hanging now that we know who and what was behind the events of The Infinite.*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

Pretty grim material written in a style that must have been popular in the 1920s. If the oranges had gone wild that probably would have been quite fun.

The author's compassion for those who've crossed over is readily apparent, and frankly refreshing. This was a very easy read and hard to put down. I felt as if I was sitting with a friend, drinking a cup of tea, while listening to this wise soul divulging her knowledge. Cannot wait for her next book!!

By Roy Branson Very informative book on the various aspects of spirit communication and the types of spirits we may encounter. Julie has a viewpoint that is different from mainstream but definitely rings true. It is nice to read something from someone who knows what they are talking about.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Classic Dickens By Barbara Goldowsky A hard-hearted father, an angelic daughter, a vengeful wife with a past, hopes placed in children who do not survive to adulthood--all the classic situations and characters we expect from this beloved author. Add a deep belief in redemption through love and forgiveness and you get to the heart of the book. It is intriguing and suspenseful, if a bit long, but then so is all of Dickens. What a serial it would make! Reading these 19th Century authors makes me wish they could return to see the movies and TV dramas they inspired. We are fortunate to have their books.Now: about this Kindle Edition. I bought the illustrated, deluxe version. Unfortunately, the Kindle screen doesn't let you view the images in a large enough format to see what's going on. For all one can make out, A gloomy interior or a London fog is all they show.Written on Charles Dickens' 200th Birthday, December 31, 2012Happy Birthday!

The Unrecognized Dickens Masterpiece By King Dimholt This book may never become as popular as "Oliver Twist," "A Christmas carol," "David Copperfield," or "A Tale of Two Cities." But it really is a phenomenal book. Some critics feel that this book reflects careful planning and organization as opposed to typical Dickens improvisation.Onto the text. Paul Dombey becomes the happy father of Paul Dombey Jr. (But in a double edged scene) Paul Sr. becomes a widower. Paul Sr. has a daughter named Florence, but he doesn't really know what to think of her. Paul has high hopes for his son, but Paul Jr. knows that he is not well.Well, we later meet Waler's uncle Solomon Gills. Solomon is concerned that his business is not doing so well. We also meet the eccentric, but heroic Captain Cuttle. After a tragic dream that foreshadows his death, Paul Jr. dies. Well, to Solomon Gill's sadness, Walter goes off to the West Indies. At this point, Dickens prepares the evil of Paul Dombey's assistant Carker.Trying to move on with his life, Dombey marries Edith. But while Edith likes Florence, her feelings for Dombey are not there. Well, Solomon Gills disappears, and Captain Cuttle goes on his mission to find Solomon and Walter. Dickens gives us a hint of Carker's evil when he is happy about Walter's disappearing. Basically, Carker delights in the misery of others, while at the same time manipulating their lives. Later, carker makes advances on Edith which causes more tension. Not surprisingly, the marriage between Dombey and Edith shatters.Due to Dombey's rages, Florence runs off with Captain Cuttle. This is where the terror reaches maximum levels. Dombey (with some justification) blames Carker for everything that has happened to him. Carker makes a final attempt to rape Edith, and this is when the final confrontation between Carker and Dombey happens. Dombey triumphs, but his revenge makes him more depressed than anything.But all is not lost. Captain Cuttle is reunited with his friends, and Walter and Florence get married and have a son who is the grandson of Paul Dombey of course. There follows a beautiful scene of reconciliation between Paul Dombey and his daughter.As sad as some of Dickens's books get, he seems to be able to put a happy ending on it if he chooses to do so. I love this book. But I will also be the first to tell you that it is different from works like "Oliver Twist" or "David Copperfield." It is highly organized, and does lack the artistic improvisation of his other works. But it is phenomenal in a different way.

Hungry for Dickens By Saline English Teacher I learned in high school to love Charles Dickens and love the fact that I can teach it now as a British Lit teacher. No one can weave a plot like he can with as many characters, many of whom seem to become friends as the reading continues. Although some of his foreshadowings and coincidences are a little contrived, I keep coming back for more. Perhaps I've read too much 20th century literature lately, however, in which things don't always turn out for the best and people don't always live happily ever after! In spite of that, I'll always be hooked on Mr. Dickens and will continue to get shivers every time I stand at his grave in Westminster Abbey!

This unpublished story, preserved among Mrs. Stevenson’s papers, is mentioned by Mr. Balfour in his life of Stevenson. Writing of the fables which Stevenson began before he had left England and ''attacked again, and from time to time added to their number'' in 1893, Mr. Balfour says: ''The reference to Odin [Fable XVII] perhaps is due to his reading of the Sagas, which led him to attempt a tale in the same style, called ‘The Waif Woman.’''

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Short story set in old Iceland By catlover This short story by Robert Louis Stevenson was published after his death. It is a myth-like fairy tale about a vain and selfish wife who meets a "waif woman," a strange visitor who arrives on shore in a merchant boat and shows the wife her chests of beautiful and costly clothes and jewels. The wife covets these treasures, and despite cryptic warnings from the waif woman, invites her to stay with her family in their hall. The wife steals a silver brooch from one of the chests, resulting in dire consequences. An interesting peek into another time and place and into the fascinating mind of RLS as well.

She’s the only descendent of the sacred Bloodline, the royal family touched by the Greek Gods ten thousand years before, and protected by international law. But Phoibe doesn’t care about any of that. She wants to be loved by someone, and that someone is a mysterious shadow named Lantos who talks to her when no one else will. Before leaving, the gargoyle Mismatch made her promise never to speak aloud again, or she’ll seal her fate, and the family curse will claim her. She obeys him – and faces the wrath of cruel caretakers sworn to ensure the curse comes to pass. When Mismatch doesn’t return to save her, young Phoibe must make her first grown-up decision: accept the curse or trust the shadowy creature who tries to help her.

For the third book readers are introduced to the young heir of Greece, the princess Phoibe. Tucked away from society, taught and raised by the priestesses Phoibe has only felt alone and fear. Her mother was the only kind person to her, but after her mother died and left her in the hands of the temple, Phoibe has known nothing but shame for her shortcomings. Phoibe prayed for a savior and Mismatch came promising to not only take her away but save her from the same fate he had fallen to and those in their bloodline. Knowing her mother is not dead but semi-alive in the grotesque state Phoibe is ready to venture out beyond the High Priestesses reach and search for her mother. If only she could outlast the Priestess while awaiting Mismatch return, her only friend and sense of strength is found in a shadow named Lantos. In the end he may just be her last hope of deliverance. Overall, heartbreaking story, Poor Phoibe is only 6 years old and has so much thrust upon her with responsibilities and politics that it's unimaginable to believe she is only a child. That High Priestess is pure evil and the things she does to innocent Phoibe makes you want to cry for the young girl. Seeing how strong Phoibe is now definitely shows she will only become a stronger character in the books to come.------Read more of my reviews at: http://heyitwasfree.blogspot.com/------

I can't wait to see what happens to her as the series goes on.Phoibe is next in line for the throne of Greece at the age of 6. Phoibe has been treated bad by the High Priestess because she has a lisp. They treat her like she is stupid and constantly put her down. She learns that there is a curse on her family. Mismatch asked her not to speak to anyone incase they tried to trick her into speaking the words that set into motion the curse. The curse turns them into a grotesque or gargoyle to watch over the temple.Lantos is Phoibe's only friend besides Mismatch. She isn't sure what he is but he is the only person she trust herself talk with. They have a connection. He tries to protect her. He teaches her to talk to him with her mind. I like the friendship they have. When everyone is knocking Phoibe down Lantos is building her back up. Who doesn't want a friend like that?I don't want to give too much away. I love these characters. I am dying to know what will happen next. Lizzy Ford has me hook, line, and sinker.It is very important that you read these stories in order. Book 1 is Alessandra. Book 2 is Mismatch. This is book 3. If you don't read them in order you will be lost.

Great addition to the Omega Series...story line and character are truly amazing By maricartav In the 3rd installment of the Omega Series you are given a clear view of Phoibe, the next Queen of Greece and a direct descendent of Mismatch who is only 6 years old. She is a lovely little girl with a stutter that leaves her handlers to be cruel and abusive towards her. As we get to delve deeper into her life you find yourself anxious for her rescue so she can be removed from all she is going through. She is fearful now of what her future holds and is counting down the time until Mismatch is supposed to get her and remove her from her horrible fate which falls all the royals of this line - to become a grotesque...a gargoyle. Since she is unaware of what has become of Mismatch you - as the reader are even more pained for her knowing he is not coming as he promised and unsure of what every day holds for her. It is a great third book and as with the other two books you become absorbed into this world and feel such a part of the story and characters. I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

When Darcy finds Elizabeth touring the park around Pemberley, he assumes he is in the grips of his dreams and acts accordingly. He is incredibly surprised to discover that the woman he has taken in his arms is not only very real, but also kissing him back. This lighthearted variation explores how things might have progressed differently had Mr. Darcy left Elizabeth Bennet with no doubt concerning his continued affection upon finding her touring his beloved Pemberley. Now including a sample chapter of "A Conversation Behind the Tapestries."

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Worth the wait By Kindle Customer This was such a wonderful story. Surprisingly the angst was not due to the main couple but another well-known couple. This made the familiar new and different. All characters were true to canon in my opinion and of course all is resolved satisfactorily with the epilogue providing excellent closure.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. If dreams could come true... By S. L. Majczan 3.5 starsOK, we have another compromise situation. But in this case it is not because Mrs. Bennet walked in on them while Darcy was whispering in Elizabeth's ear. Nor is it a situation where Mr. Bennet has died and Darcy offers to provide for the family financially IF Elizabeth will agree to marry him. Furthermore it is not one in which Darcy offers for Elizabeth to cover up Georgiana's actions at Ramsgate.This is a situation in which Darcy CANNOT get Elizabeth out of his head nor his dreams after she has refused him at Hunsford. And he allows his dreams to be played out as he returns to Pemberley and once again daydreams of his wife, Elizabeth, greeting him with open affection. He has to reward her with a kiss... and she returns his kiss...BUT then she calls him, "Mr. Darcy." He wakes up! Dreams don't have an unknown couple and Pemberley servants witnessing their affection with startled looks. Yes, they must marry. But have Elizabeth's feelings changed?What is different here is Mr. Bennet's reaction. Now you have to be aware that while the Gardiners were touring Pemberley with Elizabeth, Wickham and Lydia were running away from Brighton to London, not Gretna Green. So when Mr. Bennet is made aware of Lydia's actions and how she MUST now be forced to marry he vows that no other daughter will ever be forced to marry a man. So you can imagine what he says when the man he knows Elizabeth hates asks for his permission to marry Elizabeth and explains the compromise.This story is mostly as expected from canon. However whereas in many stories Bingley's and Jane's story is all smooth running waters in this story we see a Bingley as a man who has secrets and a Jane who learns of them by eavesdropping. You know what they say about eavesdropping?There was a literary device in Chapters 7 and 9 where in the first line of certain sections we read, "Mr. Bennet was confused.", then, "Mrs. Bennet was confused." and further along "Elizabeth was confused." Later it is, "Lydia was relieved, Wickham was relieved, Kitty...Mary...Mr. Bennet...Mrs. Bennet...Mr. Darcy...Elizabeth...Jane was relieved." I found that a charming device but then I am a simple creature.And I enjoyed immensely the descriptions of Lydia's pouting when Elizabeth engagement is announced during Mr. and Mrs. Wickham's short visit to Longbourn on their way to New Castle. Lydia is not happy when her place at the center of attention is usurped by Elizabeth. Oh, and you will so enjoy the little story about Caroline in the epilogue.This was a short and sweet read which I completed in an afternoon. It is for all those who can't get enough of ODC.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Sweet little story By Anna Marie Ordonez Although not terribly original, it was a nice story. There were no complicated misunderstandings between Darcy and Lizzy but only mild inconveniences. The Bingley and Jane storyline a little confusing, but again not terribly complicated.It summary, it was short and sweet.

Review

"A neglected gem: one of Collins's most enticing fictions, and one of Hesperus Press's happiest rediscoveries."  —Kirkus Reviews

About the Author English novelist and playwright Wilkie Collins was a prolific writer with a body of work comprising thirty novels, over sixty short stories, more than a dozen plays, and a wide range of non-fiction pieces. Collins is best known for his novels The Woman in White, an early sensation novela genre combining shocking gothic horror with everyday domestic settingsand The Moonstone, which is credited as one of the first modern mystery novels. In the 1850s Collins met Charles Dickens and the two struck up a friendship, which lead to Collins becoming a frequent contributor to Dickens s journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Many of his stories have been adapted for film, including Basil, A Terribly Strange Bed, The Moonstone and The Woman in White. Collins died in 1889 at the age of 65.

38 of 41 people found the following review helpful. Delightful and Amusing! By Erica Prior to reading this, A Rogue's Life, I had only read the most obvious and popular works by Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White and The Moonstone. Of course, I loved those books - so when I saw A Rogue's Life at my local bookstore, I picked it up. I was attracted by the description on the inside cover of the narrator, who has failed at a variety of pursuits and become 'disenchanted with life.' Perhaps I, at times, think of myself as a bit of a rogue, so upon reading the description I immediately purchased the book.This book is delightful. Wilkie Collins is all about sensation and entertainment - and his is a great writer to boot! However, the book description got it wrong. The narrator is never 'disenchanted with life.' Despite his many setbacks, he always approaches life with optimism. In fact, in the foreword, Collins mentions the tone of 'boisterious gaiety' that pervades the work, attributing it to the grand life he was leading at the time in Paris. As a result, this short novel is filled with humor and adventure, and surfs along on a tide of good cheer. Add in the fact that it was serialized, and you get those wonderful cliffhanger chapter endings that just keep you reading!

16 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Wilkie Collins scores with Softly tale By dikybabe I just laughed and rejoiced in this short tale of intrigue of the protagonist Frank Softly. And what a rogue he is, indeed, and ever more likely to gain a place in a confidence game of the worst sort, confeiting, no less. What fun to venture across England and into Wales and Scotland with this upper middle class scoundrel and hear his adventures "in his own words". Sort of made me think of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones character, and some the the delicious characters of Dickens' own creations as well. I am currently immersed in catching up on my Wilkie Collins' reads and highly recommend that other readers do the same.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A humorous drama By Israel Drazin This is a book that can be acquired for nothing from sources such as amazon because its copyright has long expired. Collins said he wrote the short novel when he lived next to Charles Dickens and had a very happy life. The novel reflects this joy, but it also contains an interesting drama. Its humorous protagonist is a likeable scamp who was tossed out by his family because he insulted his grandmother by publically displaying a mocking caricature of her. He moved from job to job, never being successful in any of them. His adventures are generally funny. Two stand out. In one he painted fake paintings of famous masters such as Rembrandt until his employer was caught; although he saves him. In another, a much longer tale, he falls in with a clearly disreputable fake doctor called Dulcifer, and obvious play on the name Lucifer, falls in love with his daughter, and does things no reasonable person would do because he loves her. It is certainly worth the money to read this tale; however the mocking tone of the description of the head thief of the painting counterfeits as a funny-speaking Jew is as insulting as Dickens' portrayal of Fagan and Shakespeare's description of Shylock.

Even though the book does delve into the haunted stories behind the thirteen locations covered in the book, almost the majority the chapters deal with the fascinating and well researched history behind each site. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter, and would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Arkansas history or the paranormal in general.

By craftygirl1961 I actually purchased this directly from the author during her visit to our local library and it was a joy to meet an author who so thoroughly enjoys her subject. I'm only 3 chapters in and thoroughly enjoying the book. While Layne does give the haunted history of each of her 13 venues, she gives an extensive and well-researched history of each as well. I learned things about my state capitol I never knew.I honestly hope she does another with more venues farther from her home area of Little Rock. It has made me want to take a trip to my state capitol to see some of the haunted places she ahs described so well. Seven of the venues are outside the Little Rock vicinity and it is certainly fun to read the history, haunted and otherwise of each historic site she chose.

"Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling..." Annie sang quietly, holding Derek's baby blue cardigan and trying to detect a familiar smell. The same cardigan he was supposed to wear at his christening. Annie and her friends leave Ireland in 1926 young and optimistic, hoping to find a better life in Liverpool. Only things do not turn out the way they had imagined. Annie falls in love, marries and starts a family of her own. But with the onset of World War Two comes tragedy and loss, testing Annie's strength to the limit. Little does she realize that the salvation of her loved ones lies partly with a German woman named Hilde, whose life and situation mirrors Annie's own. Liverpool Connection is the second book of a trilogy and is based on a true story. The first book, The Night I Danced with Rommel, tells Hilde's story. The books are historical novels based on facts and tell the writer's family history.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Liverpool Connection - Annie's Story. By Judith Spencer i have been so looking forward to reading this second book from Elisabeth. Her first book "The Night I Danced With Rommel" gave us an insight into Hilde, and "Liverpool Connection" centres around Annie and the hardships a family face during wartime. I loved the way Hilde found a way into the story. (The German side of the story)All the characters we can all relate to, and are so likeable, that I felt I knew them, and felt for them every step of the story. I especially loved Annie, Flo and Kieran.I love the way Elisabeth writes, and it is a very easy read. I can see all the stories made into a movie. I look forward very much to reading her 3rd novel.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A truly wonderful read! By Beverly Clark This was a great story.  I liked the friendship between Flo, Annie and Kiernan.  More than a few times Kiernan’s antics made me grin.  The author definitely crafted a perfect synergy between the three characters. There are moments of sadness but also moments of joking, giggling and enjoying the feeling of being young and alive.  We follow Annie as she ventures outside her comfort zone, eventually marries and has children.  I felt I knew Annie as the author writes in a way that makes the people come alive.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Lives that are entwined ... By Clement This is an intriguing family story set in the years leading up to and during World War II. Annie and two friends leave Ireland for Liverpool in the 1930s. They settle in among their relatives and friends who have already relocated to England. Annie soon meets and marries George, and over the years they produce six children. We read of their happy times and hardships in Liverpool's tenements before and during the war. The story also follows what happens to their family and friends who enlist for military service. As a result of the war, some of them become involved with characters in the author's first novel, 'The Night I Danced with Rommel'. This adds a different level of complication and intrigue, and we hear what happens from both points of view. There is plenty of hope, despair and some remarkable outcomes. The ending is clever, and leaves the reader wanting more. May I point out that the author's married name is Marrion, and that her first name is Elisabeth. Keep this in mind as you read 'Liverpool Connection' as this is a clue to an interesting turn of events.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Sophie Davis does it again! By Em W This time, we’re catching up on what Talia and Eric are going through to rescue Kenly and also keep themselves out of containment. This book has all of the characters we readers know and love, and we get caught up with everyone’s ups and downs during this brewing war. The series characters have become complicated, well-thought out, and complete people. Each character’s personality leaps off the page, and the reader quickly gets pulled into the story. Seeing the progression of Talia and Eric’s relationship is especially interesting, and with this book told from both their perspectives, it really lets you see how much they are sharing and keeping secret from each other. They have a real relationship and deep connection, though it’s tested a lot in this book. I liked that this book was set simultaneously with Kenly’s story, as it shows readers all of the planning (and going off-book) that went into her rescue. It confirms how much Talia and Kenly mean to each other as mentor and mentee. This book is a quick, fast-paced read, with action throughout, so you’re never bored. The ending, like most Sophie Davis endings, leaves you hanging and wanting more, yet you’re also scared to find out what’s going to happen next. If you’ve read any other Sophie Davis books, this has to be on your must-read list; and if you haven’t read her other books, it’s time you finally started because you’ll be instantly pulled into the worlds she creates so perfectly.

The last book, Exiled: Kenly’s Story, and Unforgettable tell a similar story that covers the same period of time, but it’s written from different perspectives. Because Unforgettable is written from the perspectives of Erik and Talia it completely changes the story; you won’t feel like you’re reading the same book twice. I love the storyline of Talia and Erik so I enjoyed Unforgettable significantly more than Exiled. I found that this book transported me back into the Talented Saga that I fell in love with and will happily continue to follow.Sophie Davis does a wonderful job creating original stories that are believable yet fall in the paranormal/fantasy range. So many books in similar genres seem to follow overdone storylines so I love that Sophie continues to keep things fresh. Personally, I hope she sticks with the main perspectives of Talia and Erik in the future as those are the characters that I fell in love with and I find myself dreaming about what will happen next in the series. While I enjoyed Exiled and learning more about Kenly in the previous book, the book didn’t capture my attention nearly as much as Unforgettable. I would highly recommend Unforgettable! It took me a chapter or two to remember what happened in the last book and engage with the material, but once I did, I couldn’t put the book down; Sophie hooked me in yet again!*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*

A Woman of Love (Honour, Love, and Courage Series), by Marlow Kelly

Review readersfavorite.com/book-review/a-woman-of-loveReviewed by Jacqueline Varlotta for Readers' FavoriteA Woman of Love (Honour, Love and Courage series) written by Marlow Kelly was really fun to read and left me wanting to read the next book in the series. This short, historical story takes place in England, with characters that I could relate to, with their realistic qualities. Only a good author is able to do this with each character in their stories. Annabel was determined to fight to protect her child Beth, no matter what the cost to her own life. James put his life on the line to protect her and her child from Eliot, who had made Annabel feel trapped with no way out until she met James. Elliot was the wicked character in the story that gave the story its plot, despite how unlikable his character was. Elliot's motives had me rooting for Annabel to escape from his clutches and for James to save her in the end.Nicholas, James' brother who plotted the whole scene to catch the evil Eliot, was as likable as his brother. His investigation of Eliot and his involvement in this story, though brief, was interesting and left me hanging. Placing Annabel and her daughter in danger and involving his brother was something that made the story more intriguing. A Woman of Love by Marlow Kelly was a great short story romance that I really enjoyed reading. I recommend this story and I intend to go back and read the rest of the series.

A great second novella from Marlow Kelly By BevW I was given a copy of this book by the author to read in exchange for an honest review.This is the second book in the Honour, Love and Courage series and as with the first book A Woman of Honour, this one is novella length.The timing of receiving this book was interesting for me as another book I was currently reading was a factual book about sex trafficking, so the beginning of this novella was quite a shock for me. Set in Victorian England 1858, the heroine, Lady Annabel Peters, was forced into marriage and now was being pimped out by her husband to a man she had never met under threat of serious consequences. My initial reaction was to be extremely upset by this as it seemed to be a clear-cut case of sexual slavery. That is certainly what was intended by her husband, who was attempting to use her body to settle gambling debts. James, the man she was to sleep with turned out to be completely different from what she had expected and initially had no intent to sleep with her at all rather wanting to use her to incriminate her husband.Annabel and James had an almost instant appeal for each other and they did end up making love because Annabel pushed it being afraid of what her husband would do if she failed to appease his debt. She was shocked to discover that in James she had an ally willing to help her escape her current desperate situation and rescue her daughter from a prior marriage. How they managed to achieve all of this made for an interesting and engaging read. The reader will also meet James’s brother Nicholas who is a private detective and he was such an interesting character that I hope he will some day have his own story.This story ended with a new beginning and I would have loved it if the author had continued the story so we could learn more about Annabel and James. I will certainly look forward to reading any full-length novels she eventually publishes.There were minor areas that could have been clarified just a bit, but on the whole this was a great quick read and I will look forward to more in the series.4.5 stars

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fast Paced Historical Romance Novella By Haley Rating 3.5This is the first book I've read by Marlow Kelly. I didn't realize it was the second in the Honor, Love and Courage series, but it was a standalone novella. Set in Victorian England 1858 this was a fast paced read. I am always curious about romances where the woman is already married. It turns out that the lord had coerced the widow Lady Annabel Peters into marrying him for her money.The hero of the story, James, meets Annabel under interesting circumstances. Her husband expects her to sleep with James to pay off a gambling debt. However, James doesn't want to take Annabel against her will. He really just wants to question her. Things go far beyond questioning as there is an almost instant attraction between them. Annabel has been ignored and abused by her husband for so long that she craves a gentleman's touch, especially a gentleman as nice as James.Once Annabel confides in James that she is a victim and is afraid she and her daughter from a previous marriage in danger, he vows to protect her from her husband. It was an enjoyable read although I wish it had more substance. This novella was perfect when you only have a few minutes to squeeze in a good story.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. cute little hangover cure By MRS M D ATTENBOROUGH Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian I Dig Good BooksBeing forced to sleep with another man because her husband of two months lost at card was not Lady Annabel's idea of fun. But from the very start James was totally not what she was expecting. Indeed, he may well be the nly way to save herself, and her daughter.This is one of those easy reads, not too complicated, not too mant twists and turns. A little bit of danger, a touch of violence, a splash of passion. Not too much to tax your brain but just enough to keep you interested.A perfect hangover cure, if ever you are in need of one!Written from both James and Annabel's POV, it pushes all my buttons. Its short, but thats just what a hangover cure/quick bath read/quick read before sleep/a lunch break read is, short and sweet. Took me 45 minutes in my lunch break at the dayjob.I loved Annabel. She knew that she needed help to escape her husband, and save her daughter. james was just the man to help her. Nicholas, James' brother, saw that, he knew she needed help, but equally that James needed help too.All in all, a solid 4 star read.**same worded review appears on Goodreads, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk**

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Can't Have a Coronation without a Crown By The Just-About-Average Ms. M Alain Duval, happily married to Eugènie, gainfully employed by the Ministry of Police, has apparently spent the four years since his work on identifying the would-be assassinators of First Consul Bonaparte on cases less demanding and certainly less high-profile. But where is the drama in routine police work? Every so often there needs to be a Really Big Crime, just to keep our favorite Parisian policeman on his toes.And we get one, on the eve of Napoleon’s coronation extravaganza. The lovely, jewel-encrusted imperial crown intended for Empress Joséphine vanishes from the workshop of the master jeweler, M. Margueritte. Not a theft in the middle of the night, or early in the morning before even the servants and apprentices were awake. Not as trite as all that. The crown disappears in the middle of the day when the workshop is literally crowded with folks, which means a true sleight of hand has occurred. The jeweler is understandably distraught, knowing he will be blamed for the loss. The Minister of Police, Joseph Fouché, cares only about recovering the crown as quickly as possible—he has about two full days—and with the utmost secrecy and diplomacy. Fouché doesn’t care about the jeweler’s plight, but he cares very much about the emperor’s displeasure, which will be swift and monumental. He also cares about discretion, since three of the people in the workshop at the crucial time were Napoleon’s sisters, Their Imperial Highnesses Elisa, Pauline, and Caroline. Quelle horreur!So Duval is called in, with all sorts of largely unnecessary instructions about the proper protocol for interrogating newly-minted imperial princesses. With his trusted associates, the presentable Fournier and the often disreputable but indispensable Lebebvre, Duval sets off to work his way through the usual suspects—workmen, servants, apprentices, acquaintances, and two of the equerries who had accompanied the princesses to the workshop to inspect their own jewelry. And with as much tact as he can muster, Duval will have to interview the princesses. It is well within his character that the clever, wily, and often dangerous Fouché handed this job off to someone else as quickly as possible. Elisa would have eaten him for breakfast.For those who know something about Napoleon’s family, especially his sisters, this little mystery is right on point. A kind person would compare them to the three witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, or a trio of harpies from Greek mythology. Both are accurate, and the sisters are portrayed with just the right amount of historical verisimilitude—Elisa is clever, sharp, and androgynous; Pauline is seductive, and sends poor Duval almost fleeing from her chaise longue in horror; and Caroline has all the charm of a teenaged fishwife from the docks of Marseille.The rest of this brief novel is, like its predecessor, an easy read, but not because it is somehow simple. No, it is well-written, and the historical details, in addition to the sisters, are spot-on. The author, bless her heart, understands that good historical fiction includes correct social norms, the appropriate cultural milieu, street names accurate for the time, and the other minutia of daily living in Paris in December 1804. Any historical novel that I can read without reaching for my virtual highlighter is a rarity. This is one of them.Oh, by the way, the solution to the theft is not only amusing but also very historically probable.

Alain Duval, a police officer in Napoleonic France is called in to find and apprehend the culprit or culprits who have managed to steal the Empress Josephine’s crown, just days before Napoleon is due to be crowned Emperor. Although the actual theft of the jewel encrusted crown is a work of fiction, the writer manages to engage the reader in a way that suggests the actual event was indeed factual. This is a clever technique and combining this with historical accuracy and understanding of the nuances and social behaviour of the period make for an entertaining read. The reader is kept guessing right till the last pages and can only speculate about how such an event would have been received in the Napoleonic period. Anyone who likes history and has a particular interest in the France of Napoleon will find the Duval stories to their liking. I look forward to another Duval story from this versatile and talented author.

A tricky one for the Emperor's agent By Eddie Nessuno Napoleon’s Police agent, Duval, faces one of his biggest challenges so far when the new Empress Josephine’s crown goes missing. He has to tread a dangerous path when suspects include princesses. As always, the author’s skillful writing and beautiful sense of the period take the reader on journey that is both gripping and instructive. A good read.
