I finished writing Sushi and Suspicions and turned it in! To celebrate, I ate my favorite peach jelly from Minamoto Kichoan ! I was a bit surprised to realize at the end of the book that there wasn’t as much romance as in some of my other books, maybe because there were a lot of characters in this book compared to other romantic suspense novels I’ve written. Sushi and Suspicions will be releasing in June in the multi-author box set Summer Suspicions . Even though it’s a box set, each Christian Romantic Suspense novel in it is a full book, so it’s a great deal! Preorder Summer Suspicions for only 99 cents!
The Tempestuous Petticoat by Mary Ann Gibbs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book. I've liked most of Mary Ann Gibbs' historical novels, and this was no exception. The setting is interesting--Georgian England, set in the year 1794 at the tail end of the Terror.
The heroine is strong, mature, independent without being pig-headed. I find I like these types of calm, controlled, strong women. The hero is masculine and an alpha-male without being overbearing, the perfect foil for her.
The conflict between the heroine and her family was interesting and made me root for her even more. The last few chapters of the book are also amusing and romantic and I absolutely loved it.
I can't say enough good things about this story. It just really resonated with me.
