No one does royal biographies better than Alison Weir; I own them all. For those of us who have read and reread Katherine by Anya Seton this is the true story of Katherine Swynford, the commoner who became the mistress of the charismatic John of Gaunt, son of Edward III. This strong, powerful woman was the ancestress of the Tudors, Stuarts, nearly every monarch in Europe and six American presidents. Their love affair was the scandal of the fourteenth century. Wonderfully researched, but eminently readable, this is a must read for lovers of British history.

This lively book is a wonderful combination of historic fiction and lusty romance. When foppish spendthrift Robert Wallis is hired to describe the various flavors of coffee, little does he know it will lead him into love, adventure, and politics. Capella revels in writing details of flavors, scents and sensations so descriptive you’ll be craving a second cup!

In 1857, heiress Emmaline Martin has survived a shipwreck that claimed the life of her parents while enroute to join her viscount fiancé in India. Emma, who has been educated far above the norm for an English miss, is appalled to find herself stuck with the loutish viscount, now a colonel in the British army. Duke of Shadows offers as much fascinating historical insight as it does clever story and engrossing romance.

This is a slim and delightfully unusual novel of love told within the context of a group of bird watchers in Kenya.

In his debut fiction effort Collins takes what should be a simple story – boy meets girl, boy loses phone number, boy finds girl – and teases it along with nuance and finesse to create a wonderful tale of coincidence, miscommunication, and fate. Some critics have called this a modern day Jane Austen.
