Excerpt 

About Davida:

Davida Ann Samenski learned about romance at the tender age of four while watching Gone With The Wind for the very first time. 

An avid romance reader and writer, she loves writing about imperfect women and the equally imperfect men who love them—helping them along their way to the Happily Ever Afters. 

Wife to one, mother to many (including the four-legged variety) and grandma to five (for now), she spends her days caring for her mother and babysitting the hunyocks, and her nights writing and bingeing on her favorite tv shows on Netflix. She's bingeing Lucifer now. Who knew the devil could be so sexy?

Weekend Reads: The Price of Glory by Caroline Warfield

Cuddle up with a Victorian Romance this weekend.

 

Amazon Buy Link

 

One man’s pursuit of knowledge that could bring him fame and respect, only to find it upended by a woman determined to serve the people of Egypt.

 

About the Book:

Richard Mallet comes to Egypt with dreams of academic glory. He will be the one to unravel the secrets of the ancient Kushite language. Armed with license to dig, he sets out for Meroë, where the Blue Nile meets the White. He has no room in his life for dalliance or entanglements, and he certainly doesn’t expect to face insurrection and unrest. 

Analiese Cloutier seeks no glory—only the eradication of disease among the Egyptian women and children of Khartoum. She has no interest whatsoever in romantic nonsense and will not allow notions about a lady's proper role to interfere with her work. She doesn't expect to have that work manipulated for political purposes. 

Neither expects to be enchanted by the amorous power of moonlight in the ruins of Karnak, or to be forced to marry before they can escape revolution. Will their flight north take them safely to Cairo? If it does, can they build something real out of their shattered dreams?

 

About Caroline:
Traveler, adventurer, writer of historical romance. Enamored of owls, books, history, and beautiful gardens (but not the actual act of gardening), award winning author of historical romance usually set in the Regency and Victorian eras, Caroline Warfield reckons she is on at least her third act, happily working in an office surrounded by windows where she lets her characters lead her to adventures in England and the far-flung corners of the world. She nudges them to explore the riskiest territory of all, the human heart, because love is worth the risk.

About Susan

        When I was eleven, I saw Walt Disney’s Peter Pan. The message of the movie is you have to get taller and older, but you never have to give up make believe. And I never have. Later, I realized all my “Wendy Darling” fantasies were romances. I wrote and published romantic short stories for a while. For twenty-five years, I wrote columns and reviews for Video Views Magazine. I’ve seen almost every new movie release, especially romances and anything with a historical setting. 

Historicals have always been my favorite romance genre. Take me to another time, show me how people lived and loved. What intrigues me most is what women had to endure in a male dominated world. How women in the past survived and gained power. My favorite romantic conflict is between a powerful woman and the man who wants to tame her.  

 

I married the quintessential bad boy and tamed him, though I didn’t mean to. We have two sons. My husband died three years ago. I miss my hero every day. I’ve finished my next book in my series The Shady Side of the Law and have begun the third book in the series.

Weekend Reads: A Sapphire Promise by Sally Brandle

Enjoy a historical romance this weekend!

 

1938 Batavia, Java.

Threats of war brings them together. The Japanese invasion tears them apart. 

A true story of trust, hope, and enduring love.

 

Amazon Buy Link

 

About the Book

Loyalty to family. Trusting instincts. The ugly truth of survival. These virtues are deeply embedded in a mature Dutch teenager, Annika Wolters. Her attributes prove useful as she navigates typical coming-of-age insecurities and a blossoming romance with a handsome lieutenant in 1939 Batavia, Java. 

Nothing prepares her for the distress of Hitler’s attacks on European countries followed by Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor, toppling her idyllic life in the Dutch East Indies colonial society and separating her from the man she loves. Uplifting events from a true story showcase how determination, nursing basics, and language skills keep a young woman and her mother alive in the worst Japanese internment camp in the Pacific. If you admire clever women and unfailing love in a tropical wartime setting, you will be captivated by Sapphire Promise.  

 

About Sally

Multi-award winning author Sally Brandle weaves slow-burning romance into edgy suspense, motivating readers to trust their instincts. Growing up as a tomboy alongside brothers prepared her to work in a male-centric industry, raise sons, and create action packed stories featuring strong women. She thrives on creating unintentional heroines who conquer their vulnerabilities and partner with heroes to outwit cunning villains. Penning Iris’s story presented a challenge to stay true to her life while portraying the colonial aspect of A Sapphire Promise in a sensitive manner. Research and consultations with a variety of experts is her way of checking facts. Her rescued Tuxedo cat, Shepherd dog, and Blue Heeler are her companions during long spells of writing or bouts of tormenting weeds in her garden. Afternoons she often spends riding on the wind with her thirty-one years young Quarter Horse.

Weekend Reads: A Widow's Guide to Scandal by Hallie Alexander

 Cuddle up with a historical romance this weekend.

Amazon Buy Link

About the Book

Henrietta Smith was fifteen when she stole a kiss from Marcus Hardwicke. Over a decade later, she’s still waiting to be kissed back … 

Henrietta learned the hard way that when you get what you pay for you might end up with a British soldier quartering in your home threatening your friends, an enormous dog tracking mud through your house and stealing the chickens, and Marcus Hardwicke disrupting your uncomplicated life by trying to improve it. And to think she just wanted her roof fixed. 

Marcus, wickedly handsome carpenter and rebel rogue, fell off Henrietta’s leaking roof. He can’t leave until his broken ankle heals, giving him plenty of time to consider his past mistakes, including Henrietta's indelible kiss from a lifetime ago. But Henrietta could lose more than her home if she doesn’t encrypt British secrets, and the latest puts Marcus in the crosshairs.

About Hallie

Hallie Alexander's debut, A Widow's Guide to Scandal, was published in 2020 by Soul Mate Publishing. It was a finalist in the 2019 Cleveland Rocks Romance Contest. Hallie writes steamy, American historical romances with noble heroes and strong heroines determined not to fall in love, until they do. Expect lush history and lots of smooching. And, if there is an element of humor and hijinks, or a fraying in the fabric of the patriarchy? Even better. Hallie is a Northerner living in the South with her husband, three children, and Doodles of Mayhem™, Bruno and Willow.

Weekend Reads: Posey - Brides of New Hope Book 2 by Jo-Ann Roberts

 Cuddle up with a sweet historical romance this weekend~

Can a U.S. marshal's steadfast love along with his dream for a home and a family be enough to heal a schoolteacher's wounded heart?

Amazon Buy Link

About the Book!

Posey Campbell couldn’t understand why her love life, or lack thereof, was of such interest to her family and friends. Having endured one ill-fated relationship, she resigned herself to living out her days as New Hope’s spinster schoolteacher…until an unkempt U.S. marshal with inviting grey eyes and a kiss-me-smile came to town turning her well-ordered life off-kilter.

Glad for a temporary assignment keeping him in one place, Grayson Barrett never expected to find love, let alone a wife, a set of orphans, and a life he’d feared had passed him by.

When a secret from Posey’s past comes to light will Gray’s steadfast love be enough to convince her he is the right man? Or will an old nemesis put an end to their love before it begins? 

About Jo-Ann

Born and raised in western Massachusetts, Jo-Ann Roberts was fascinated by America’s Old West and always felt she was
destined to travel on a wagon train following the Oregon Trail. With her love of history and reading, she began reading historical romance during high school and college. Victoria Holt, Jude Deveraux, and Roseanne Bittner were among her favorites. Influenced by her father, she fell in love with John Wayne, James Garner, and her all-time favorite, James Stewart and grew up watching Wagon Train, Bonanza and Rawhide.

A firm believer in HEA with a healthy dose of realism, Jo-Ann strives to give her readers a sweet historical romance while imparting carefully researched historical facts, personalities, and experiences relative to the time period. Her romances take her readers back to a simpler time to escape the stress of modern life by living in a small town where families and friends help one another find love and happiness.

When she isn’t creating believable plots and relatable heroes and heroines, Jo-Ann enjoys spending time with her husband, children and grandson. She also enjoys baking, quilting, and eating way too much chocolate.

After 38 years in public education in Connecticut and Maryland, she now calls North Carolina home. She is a member of Romance Writers of America and Heart of Carolina RWA.
