From Amazon:

For Hudson, the newly titled Viscount Stildon, moving to England from India where he was born and raised was already an arduous enough endeavor. When he learns the fate of the racing empire he inherited along with his title depends upon him getting in the good graces of another stable owner, he's even more at a loss.

The stable at the neighboring estate has been Miss Bianca Snowley's refuge for years, and when a strange man appears to be stealing the horses, she jumps to their protection without a second thought. Upon learning Hudson is actually the new owner, she can't help but be intrigued by the area's newest eligible bachelor.

Any thought of romance is quickly set aside, however, when Hudson proposes they work together to secure suitable spouses for each other. As their friendship grows, Hudson and Bianca begin to reconsider what they truly want in life. But will societal expectations and the weight of their responsibilities keep them from pursuing their true desires?

When she’s not penning another of her page-turning stories, she loves to spend her time reading, especially when it also involves consuming coffee and chocolate.

She Walks In Power by Mary Lu Tyndall

It is not often that a book draws me in to the point that I read it in one day...She Walks In Power did just that/ I was up well past my bedtime reading this book because I needed to know what happened. I loved the characters and the plot is fantastic but also gives a nod to Robin Hood. The story takes place during the dark ages where the reading of scripture by anyone other than a priest was heresy and some clerics were not followers of Christ. Evil existed and is portrayed as supernatural battles. I believe this book to be a wholesome alternative to the Harry Potter series which I have not, nor will I ever read. I would recommend this book for teens especially. So grab a mug of mulled cider. clear your schedule and settle in for a fantastic read!

From Amazon:

From Award-Winning Author, MaryLu Tyndall, comes an exciting Medieval Fantasy Romance surrounding the Spear of Destiny!

Another novel knocked out of the literary ballpark by author MaryLuTyndall! ~ Michelle Griep, author of THE CAPTIVE HEART and BRENTWOOD’S WARD

Alexia D'Clere didn't ask to be Protector of the Spear, but after her dying mother gave her the tiny metal object and made her promise to keep it safe, she had no choice. Orphaned at age eight, she began to take over the running of her parent's castle with the help of a trusted steward. Yet, when a plot to murder her was revealed, a friar whisked her away to live hidden in the forest. There, she learned to shoot expertly with bow and arrow and hone her skills to see into the spirit realm.

Now, at eighteen, Alexia continues to keep the Spear protected, provide meat for the starving village, while secretly caring for her ill sister who still lives in the castle. With Alexia's powers of spiritual discernment and her skill as an archer, she is no match for those who come for the spear. That is until she meets Ronar LePeine, one of the King's elite guard.

Ronar desires nothing more than to do his duty to God and King and pay penance for past sins. Yet a forest sprite with red, flaming hair blocks his every move, all the while enchanting him like no other. Something evil lurks at Castle Luxley, and both Ronar and Alexia are soon thrust into the middle of a spiritual battle which will not only test their very beliefs, but put them both in mortal danger.

Just as the case seems like it'll break open, worse news arrives. A tropical storm has turned their way and soon they're cut off from any rescue--and right where the killer wants them. It's a race to discover his identity before he eliminates the threat they pose.

I loved having a new book by Linore Burkard. I have read her other Regency novels and was delighted that she is again writing this genre. Her books are sweet and funny. If you are looking for a book to escape all the nonsense going on today grab Miss Havistock's Mistake and learn the truth of Sir Walter Scott's quote:'Oh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive." So settle in for a journey to another time with a lovely cup of tea and a delightful read'

"What fun! Rarely does a book make me laugh so hard! I couldn't put it down."
MaryLu Tyndall, Award-winning Author


Young Miss Margaret Tavistock is promised in marriage by the wish of her dearly departed papa to Captain Rempeare. But the captain's been at sea for a decade. When she finally meets him, tempestuous sparks fly, and she impulsively adopts a daring false identity. Going by "Lady X," she vows never to marry such an infuriating man.

Captain Gabriel Rempeare is prepared to fulfill his duty and marry Miss Tavistock--if only he can clap eyes on her! Circumstances keep them apart, though he cannot seem to avoid the maddeningly lovely Lady X.

When the two are thrown together in Mayfair, Miss Tavistock discovers the real nature of the captain, and regrets her subterfuge. But can such a noble man forgive deceit? Or has her mistake already cost her everything?
