The Nature Of A Lady by Roseanna White

 

The Nature Of A Lady by Roseanna White has it all...romance, mystery, exotic location, and fascinating characters. I loved all of the details about island life, I could imagine being with Libby as she explored the islands. This is the first book I have read about the Scilly Islands and now I long to see them. It was fun watching Libby and Mabena become the friends they already thought they were. I also loved Oliver and the way he was comfortable with who he was. He lived and breathed the islands. Then add in the mystery of pirates, ghosts, and a treasure and you have the makings of a fine book. A case of mistaken identity just adds to the story. So grab your favorite tea, it is England after all, and settle in for a wonderful read.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

Lady Elizabeth "Libby" Sinclair, with her love of microscopes and nature, isn't favored in society. She flees to the beautiful Isles of Scilly for the summer and stumbles into the dangerous secrets left behind by her holiday cottage's former occupant, also named Elizabeth, who mysteriously vanished. 

Oliver Tremayne--gentleman and clergyman--is determined to discover what happened to his sister, and he's happy to accept the help of the girl now living in what should have been Beth's summer cottage . . . especially when he realizes it's the curious young lady he met briefly two years ago, who shares his love of botany and biology. But the hunt for his sister involves far more than nature walks, and he can't quite believe all the secrets Beth had been keeping from him.

As Libby and Oliver work together, they find ancient legends, pirate wrecks, betrayal, and the most mysterious phenomenon of all: love.

a Time To Seek by Tracy Higley

 

Tracy Higley is back and better than ever! I believe A Time To Seek to be one of the best books I have read this year! I am a time travel fan and this book completely satisfied that need. I love Sahara and really cared for what happened to her. The settings were fantastic and I could see the places in my mind from the descriptions. I enjoyed this so much that I have ordered a physical copy for my keeper shelf. I am looking forward to the next two books in this series as there are a few unanswered questions. A Time To Seek is so well written that one could almost wonder if it is autobiographical! Love!

So grab your favorite beverage and a good snack, send everyone away so that you can enjoy a voyage through time!

From Amazon:

Her Future Destiny is Hidden in the Ancient Past.

Sahara Aldridge, a young Egyptologist in 1922, is making a name for herself on the digsite soon to become Egypt’s most sensational discovery—the tomb of the boy-king, Tutankhamun.

Despite opposition from a mostly-male profession, Sahara fights to continue the legacy of her Egyptologist parents, who died tragically at sea when she was a teen.

But then a childhood friend finds a lost journal written by Sahara’s mother, hinting at the bizarre possibility of time-travel, and a crazy suspicion forces Sahara to confront a freak incident years earlier…

Is it possible her parents were time travelers?

And has she inherited this mind-blowing ability?

When the American journalist Jack Moretti begins asking too many questions, Sahara suspects he knows more than he’s telling.

Did her parents truly perish in an accident? Or did someone target and murder them because of their time traveling gift?

There’s only one way to unearth the truth.

Sahara must travel back in time, to the days of King Tut.

But the biggest surprise is yet to come… the truth about her parents, and about her own destiny, discovered in the whispers of conspiracy around the death of Egypt’s most famous Pharaoh.

But what secrets are better left buried?

Biography

I've been writing adventure stories since the time I first picked up a pencil. I still have my first "real" novel--the story I began at the age of eight during a family trip to New York City.

Through my childhood I wrote short stories, plays for my friends to perform (sometimes I had to bribe them), and even started a school newspaper (OK, I was the editor, journalist and photographer since no one took that bribe to join me). Then there were the "drama years" of junior high, when I filled a blank journal with romance and poetry. Sigh.

In my adult years I finally got serious about publishing suspense fiction, and have since authored twelve novels in twelve years.

When I'm not writing, life is full of other adventures--running a business, raising kids, and my favorite pastime: traveling the world.

I started traveling to research my novels and fell in love with experiencing other cultures. It's my greatest hope that you'll feel like you've gotten to travel to the settings of my books, through the sights, sounds, smells, colors, and textures I try to bring back from my travels and weave into my stories.

To experience my travel journals and see the romantic settings of my books, I hope you'll visit my website at TracyHigley.com or meet up with me on Facebook at facebook.com/tracyhigley.

Unfortunately, it is by word of mouth and she can not charge, only accept gifts. Nick Delacorte does not like to lose sow when he proposes a scheme for which he will pay well, Miss Wetherham must participate. This was a delightful book full of well-developed characters.

A Distant Shore by Karen Kingsbury

 

Karen Kingsbury returns to the subject of human trafficking for the second time. Her first book on the subject was Divine which I highly recommend. I love A Distant Shore. The story demonstrates how God protects us even in the worst environments. I loved Jack and Eliza. They felt very real to me. The plot was engaging and fast-paced. The subject matter was difficult but Karen tactfully handled it. I would recommend that teens read this book so that they are aware of the dangers in our world.

So grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a good read.

From Amazon:

“Inspirational fiction superstar” (Publishers Weekly) and #1 New York Times bestselling author of life-changing fiction returns with this high-stakes love story of danger, passion, and faith.

She was a child caught in a riptide in the Caribbean Sea. He was a teenager from the East Coast on vacation with his family. He dove in to save her, and that single terrifying moment changed both their lives forever.

Ten years later Jack Ryder is a daring secret agent with the FBI and Eliza Lawrence still lives on that pristine island. She’s an untainted princess in a kingdom of darkness and evil, on the brink of a forced marriage with a dangerous neighboring drug lord, a marriage arranged by her father.

This time when Jack and Eliza meet, there’s a connection neither of them can explain. Both their lives are on the line, and once again, the stakes are deadly high. Can they join forces in a complicated and dangerous mission, pretending to have a breathtaking love…without really falling?

Sometimes miracles happen not once, but twice…along a distant shore.
