Quote from Kissing Mr. Bellamy
“I’ve already told you, I am no gentleman, Miss Templeton,” he said
in a deep, sinful tone, “so you might want to re-think your ideas about safety.”

Popular Kindle Highlight from Amazon.com
This popular Kindle highlight from Twelfth Moon, as posted on Amazon.com, actually begins like this:
“I found out she’d married my best friend, Gavin Thompson, only a month after I’d left. She’d been writing to me and all along she’d already been married to another man.”
Highlight:
“How awful!” Cadence sat up, turning to look at him with a fierce scowl. “Do you want me to eat her?”

5-Star review for Whispers in Time:
Steamy, wonderful romance
Steamy, wonderful romance
By Ms.V
I absolutley loved Kissing Mr. Bellamy, and found myself
actually loving this one even more!
Like Emily and Roger from Kissing Mr. Bellamy, Gabriella and Damon were oh so very HOT! I could not get enough of their chemistry and desire for eachother. I felt the author did a much better job with the storyline in this novel and was not as repetitive as KMB, therfore it earned the top rating for me.
I felt so connected to Gabriella and Damon and completley fell in love with them and all the secondary characters especially Lady Claire who kept me laughing throughout this novel for her undeniable wit and charm!
I highly recommend this one and you will not be dissapointed!

4-Star review for The Devil Rogue:
Good Read
By tlc
This was a good story line and had lots of funny and quick
glibs as well. Angela's grit and stamina are very well done and as the story
progresses it is easy to see why she is as she is. As a romance, it is a page
turner for the most part. All authors have lulls but if a book can take you into
the room and you can smell the wax from the candles then it is well written.
This book does that. Worth the read.
5-Star review for Kissing Mr. Bellamy:
A Little Bit of History, Loads of
Fun
Sheiglagh "Sheiglagh" (Dallas, TX) - See
all my reviews
History,
historical romance and erotica are seldom used together in one sentence, but for
"Kissing Mr. Bellamy" you can use all three and then add laugh out loud funny at
the same time.
The prequel, concurrent and sequel to "Whispers of Time," "Kissing Mr. Bellamy" follows Roger Bellamy, a private investigator and Emily Templeton, a scholar of Egyptian history and a spinster whose uncle recently died. Though the magistrate ruled the death as natural causes, Emily believed that her uncle was murdered because of a tiny red mark at his neck.
For those who have read "Whispers of Time," Gabriella and Damon (the protagonists in that book) make cameo appearances. And for those who have not read the other book, "Kissing Mr. Bellamy" gives enough material to explain Gabriella and Damon's presence.
The book tells the story of how Emily and Roger solved the murder, caught the culprit and of course, their whirlwind courtship and how they fell in love.
***MY TAKE ON THE STORY***
There was an instant spark between Roger and Emily. Roger figured out early on that behind the dowdy appearance of Emily is a very beautiful woman. Emily on the other hand found Roger's dark countenance complete with his facial scar dangerously attractive.
But, the sexual attraction is only half of the story. The other half is both parties are also intellectual equals. And this is the reason why I gave this book five stars. A lot of historical romance novels and of course, romantic erotica included, the woman is just this beautiful girl that more often than not is damsel in distress or just chattel. Emily being portrayed as an independent and intelligent woman, albeit poor and spinsterish give a different view of women from the Regency Era.
There is also the aspect of Egyptian history. Though a small part of the book, the information given by the author actually makes the story telling very interesting and thus also explains a lot of things that were going on in the peripheral. I was not expecting a history lesson like "The Mummy", but what was given was very enlightening and in tune with the story.
And finally, the humorous way the story was told, on how Roger and Emily interact is priceless! The setting is of course very Regency Era and the speech is actually proper for the time period. You can actually hear the characters talk in their very aristocratic British accents and you cannot help yourself but laugh because what they're saying can be transported to the 21st century without losing its meaning.

5-Star review of Twelfth Moon:
Wonderful Book!
By
The book itself was wonderful. I was captivated and brought in
from the beginning. The way the story unfolded was great, and it let me get
completely sucked in and lost in the world. I found myself sneaking away to read
it, and finished it in the span of a very busy weekend.
