Virtue by Ida Brady (book 1 of 3)

Posted

Virtue by Ida Brady is the first short story (80 pages) of three described as a contemporary meets regency romance series. It starts off well, and the characters are starting to take shape, only for the book to be finished.

Having finished this book in one go and wanting to find out what actually happen to the various characters I went looking for the other books in the series. 

At the time I looked they were twice the price (!!) of a full length printed book (currently the second book isn't available in the UK). For novellas of 100 ish pages, I'll not be getting them and I regret reading the first one (even if it was a free eARC via NetGalley). Why not put all three in ONE book, which would be normal ish length for a book, and sell it at a reasonable price? 

 Short story, short review... and a bit of a rant.

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Posted
Paisley Evangeline Darling (Van for short) attends a renaissance festival in the US, but somehow ends up in a pond in Scotland and is rescued by Andrew MacIver. Not only has she travelled across the world, she's also travelled in time - back to the 17th century. Add in some more low level magic, a nasty uncle and women competing for Andrew's reluctant hand in marriage.  Highly entertaining story with some slow romance and Van getting stuck into her new life and improving operations at Andy's castle.  This book is available now!  PS. I am not really sure what inspired the title of this book. #EmbraceTheLace #NetGalley
