By Grady Harp North Carolina author Beverley Andi was born in New York City but for the early portion of her career she worked in Westchester County in the fields of Public education and designing educational programs for historical sites and art museums with positions as Director of the Scarsdale Historical Society, Scarsdale, NY, Coordinator of Educational Services, Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase, NY, and Weekend Manager of the Katonah Museum of Art, Katonah, NY. Of interest for this book KICKING SAWDUST Beverley volunteered at the Somers Historical Society, Somers, NY doing research on the early American circus - research that led to this novel. Now her focus is on writing historical romance novels and she is a member of the Romance Writers of America and the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers.Beverely writes in the style of the period in which she defines - in the case of this novel that period is the mid 19th century and she is able to recreate (likely from her fascination with American history and artifacts) the language and he social customs and the atmosphere of the era. Early on in the book there is a passage the dines her art: `July 1858 The Adirondack Mountains, NY The early morning breeze drifted along Ethan Delahand's face. He leaned back on the bench outside the train station and looked at his pocket watch for the second time. Damnation, the train was now a half hour late. Ethan looked through the window of the door, but he didn't see her face. What he saw was a very pleasing rump under a heap of blue silk. He smiled at the curved buttocks as its owner bent to clean scuff marks off her satchel with a hankie. She wasn't wearing a lot of petticoats, so her figure showed itself as nicely rounded and mighty firm. She was talking under her breath. Did he hear an English accent? Ethan was about to chuckle when Mrs. Williams suddenly stood up. Her profile took his breath away. She was a little thing, no higher than his shoulder, with delicate features and porcelain skin. Her chestnut hair, done up in a knot with soft curls hanging around her face, held hints of auburn in the buttery light of the morning. Her jaunty silk bonnet was tied with a ribbon under her chin. It was stylish but plain without those confounded ruffles and beads that he detested but ladies adored. Her gown and hat were in his favorite color: robin egg blue. It was somewhat of a lost pleasure to look at such an elegant beauty, so he took his time.' And that flavor persists through the novel.The story is a romance: `In the summer of 1858 Rebecca Williams, a feisty British circus performer becomes the first woman bareback rider in America. But she has a dark secret that could ruin her career. Though she tries to be career oriented, she is besotted by the circus manager, Ethan Delahand. The debonair Ethan, a partner in the Eagle Circus, becomes smitten with the lissome Rebecca. As their romance smolders, Rebecca's real identity is discovered. Penniless and fearing prison, she runs. In a state of despair, he hires a detective to find her. He finally places a notice in newspapers. When she reads the notice she's stunned and leaves immediately for his home only to discover he is gone.' Sharing how Rebecca resolves her history and arrives at a happy ending would be a spoiler. This is a light novel, sure to delight readers of historical romance. Grady Harp, April 15

Having never heard of Beverly Andi, I borrowed this book from a friend with some trepidation, historical fiction is so easy to mess up with poor research and pushing modern social mores into places where they really don't fit, that even though I love them there's always that worry that things will be impossible to believe.This wasn't the case here.Because of the focus on the circus itself, which was set apart from regular society, the parts of the story that didn't quite fit the time are easily forgivable, and possibly quite accurate. And the vivid descriptive writing, fantastic characters and a look into a way of life that doesn't exist anymore will draw anyone into the story.Rebecca and Ethan are both fully realized characters, the way they interact, the romance, the lively conversations, and the descriptions are superb. One thing I particularly loved, was that unlike so many books where the main characters don't share critical details, simply because they're tongue tied, and lament the fact that they can't share something that has to be said, the secret Rebecca has is truly important. If she told Ethan everything about herself, her life would potentially be over, and that isn't simple hyperbole. This makes the awkward ways they sometimes interact and her wishing to talk freely a little sad rather than a trite cliche.Five stars.

Run Away and Join the Circus By Marta Cheng Back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s, circuses consisted of performers, animals, trainers, grifters and those behind the scenes that audiences never saw – the ones who took down the tents and set them up and did the million or so odd jobs required in order to make a circus function. These men, and sometimes women, had usually joined up with a circus because they had secrets to hide or were trying to escape their past. Rebecca Williams, the lovely protagonist in Beverley Andi’s historical romance, Kicking Sawdust, also has a secret – a secret that could potentially destroy her. She’s the newest act in the Eagle Circus, a circus that’s co-owned by the handsome and well-to-do, Ethan Delahand. The attraction between the two protagonists is immediate but it’s effectively hidden at first by a blur of petticoats, a flutter of lashes and behind spates of coy and witty repartee. The book is aptly named and the smell of sawdust and grease paint almost tangible as the reader is transported to another time and place when propriety and wealth were sought-after commodities, second only to good manners and breeding. Kicking Sawdust has romance, adventure, intrigue and engaging characters that both charm and endear. All in all, Beverley Andi has researched her subject matter well, giving us a story that is sure to charm romantics and historical romance lovers alike. A wonderful read, through and through.
