I loved Nicole Galland's The Fool's Tale, so I was thrilled with the publication of Revenge of the Rose.  It's just as good.  Enjoy!  Nancy

Amazon: The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh  Burma

Quotations B

 

Medieval Wales

With the publication of Jane Marie's novel, The Goodbye Lie, we argued about the kind of book it is.  Yes, it's historical.  Yes there's suspense and action.  But it's most definitely a romance in the no detailed sex scenes school of story telling.

Likewise, Nectar From a Stone by Jane Guill has romance and action in an accurate historical setting.  The sexual references and incidents are powerful but necessary to the story.  Nancy
