The Lady of Bolton Hill

PG

Easily Recommend

I actually reread a book!
It is a rare thing :)
This was one of my earliest historical fictions that I read when I really started getting into my motherhood reading phase :)  This was also before I started book blogging so now I have the opportunity to actually write a review.
I love Elizabeth Camden!  She always has depth in her stories which I really appreciate.
In this one there is just a little bit {Too Much Passion} for me and her {Subject Matter} can get kind of heavy.  Also, the second time through I felt like character transformation was a little bit unrealistic but I still love the book :)
I can feel good about recommending this book...and there's a sequel :)

Keturah and Lord Death

 


***
PG
Could Recommend But Probably Won't

A respected author highly recommended this book so I gave it a try.
I must not be very sophisticated in my literary taste because I struggled to see the draw.
It was kind of interesting but didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
There was a touch of fantasy/magic/otherworldliness spread throughout.
It just seemed a bit odd and I didn't love it.  I don't know how else to put it.
I could recommend it based on cleanliness but probably won't based on my lack of appreciation for the story.

The Gentleman and the Thief

 


***1/2
PG

I liked this installment in Eden's Victorian Mystery series.
  As with the first, there could have been more mystery for me but I will take what I can get :)
It was cute, the characters were fine...nothing too exciting but worth a read.
I did feel like there was just the slightest bit more passion than what I normally expect in her books but of course, that is still pretty tame.
I could easily recommend this book based on cleanliness/content.
