Hey Y'all!!!
I've been enjoying a
few stories set in my go-to era, Regency. If you like this period in history
and are looking for good fiction to curl up with in the coming months, I highly recommend
Kristi Ann Hunter's books. I recently finished her Hawthorne House series and it was outstanding! You've seen a few reviews on here, I'm sure! :-) The first story, which is A Lady of Esteem: A Hawthorne House Novella, is FREE on Kindle. Click here to go to Amazon to grab your copy.
Double check the price

That brings me to the first full-length book in the series, A
Noble Masquerade.
Lady Miranda Hawthorne acts every inch the lady, but
inside she longs to be bold and carefree. Entering her fourth Season and
approaching spinsterhood in the eyes of society, she pours her innermost
feelings out not in a diary but in letters to her brother's old school friend,
a duke--with no intention of ever sending these private thoughts to a man she's
heard stories about but never met. Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued
by Marlow, her brother's new valet, and although she may wish to break free of
the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of a
rebellion than she planned.
When Marlow accidentally discovers and mails one of the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is beyond mortified. And even more shocked when the duke returns her note with one of his own that initiates a courtship-by-mail. Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into confusion at her growing feelings for two men--one she's never met but whose words deeply resonate with her heart, and one she has come to depend on but whose behavior is more and more suspicious. When it becomes apparent state secrets are at risk and Marlow is right in the thick of the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda's heart is far from all that's at risk for the Hawthorne’s and those they love.

Corn bread dressing. My daughter makes late mother in laws and it is always great.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! My momma always cornbread dressing and it's my favorite dish too.

DeleteI love making tofu turkey, but it’s expensive and takes a long time. So, none this year! We are having vegan turkey roll with stuffing in (like turkey tacos). Posbus4me at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI've never had tofu turkey or vegan turkey roll but I have had tofu in cheesecake. It was delish! :-)
DeleteI've spent time this morning enjoy your blog. Such encouragement in your words and lovely inspiring images.This book has been added to my list. Enjoy this time of Thanksgiving.
