Lyn Reviews Georgette Heyer’s Regency Classic

booksbylyncote.com Posted on April 13, 2025 by Lyn CoteApril 13, 2025

The Black Sheep illustratedThe Black Sheep illustrated by Georgette Heyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of my favorite Georgette Heyer Regency’s. So many tropes, ie fortune hunter, young heiress, spinster aunts, and all in Bath society. But the plot is unique and the portrayal of the “pull” of love toward another person outstanding! Love will have its way!

Lyn Asks this Month’s Question

booksbylyncote.com Posted on February 16, 2025 by Lyn CoteFebruary 11, 2025

 

Our question for March is a bit more persona than last month’s about reading historical fictionl. What historic events have you lived through? What were the ones you most remember and why? Most of us have lived through many. The earliest one I recall is the Cuban Missile Crisis under JFK. (Yes, I was just in kindergarten at the time!:-) Please click here to share. Remember if your comment is shared here, I offer you an ebook!

My fun this week–visiting the ice castle in northern WI (Built from blocks of ice harvested by the firemen and volunteers.) AMAZING!

Lyn Reviews Shanna Hatfield’s Dear Mister Frost

booksbylyncote.com Posted on January 15, 2025 by Lyn CoteJanuary 15, 2025

Dear Mister Frost (Christmas Letters Book 1)Dear Mister Frost by Shanna Hatfield
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not my cup of tea but well written with engaging characters and beautiful holiday setting. As an author, I have a pet peeve about people who write reviews and it comes out that I wrote a book that isn’t something that they like. And I think well, nobody forced you to read it. If you didn’t like it, why didn’t you just put it down? Anyway, I started reading this book and I was instantly intrigued by the characters, the setting, the initial set up of the two characters’ meeting. The prose was written beautifully, and I thought wow this is for me. However, I like a bit more action and plot in my sweet romance. Enough happened to keep me to about 76% read. Then I skipped ahead to read the ending. So I like more action, but if you like a romance, that primarily focuses on the differences in characters who are opposites and that is enough for you, this book is for you! Shana Hatfield is a great writer, and it was a charming story.

blizzard

The January Question: What’s winter like where you live? What do you like or dislike about this season? The photos is the peek out my door on a snowy April blizzard. That might give you an idea of what part of winter in the northwoods I don’t appreciate–winter that lingers into spring! Isn’t there a law against that?

Anyway what do you like or dislike about your winter? Leave a comment a perhaps win a free ebook!

And here’s my next book—coming out 1/14/2025!

 No one has ever been on Anna’s side. Will that change in Texas? 

In 1846, young widow Anna survives the grueling voyage from Germany to start a new life in the promised land of Texas. Forced by circumstances into servitude, Anna is now determined to leave her harsh master. But how can a single woman face the frontier on her own? 

Texas Ranger Carson Quinn is responsible for leading her party of German immigrants through Comanche territory to the Hill Country. Drawn to Anna’s sweet nature, he watches her persevere through the physical and emotional hardships of traveling through this new and still wild land. He silently vows to do anything to protect her. But yet another war is brewing…

Mexico will not accept US annexation of the young Texas Republic without a fight. Though honor bound to defend Texas, Carson’s deepest longing is to lay down his rifle once and for all and forge a peaceful life with Anna. As American troops arrive in Texas, she watches the man she longs for torn between duty and love. Will the tide of history keep them from a future together?

One more time the Quinn family takes up arms in the cause of freedom.

Trusting His Love book 3 of the “Lone Star Courage” series brings the Quinn family saga to an exciting conclusion. Take advantage of its pre-order discount. Click here.–Merry Christmas!–Ly
