Edited in January, Allerdale is the first in a wonderful new series of Regency romance stories by Jenny Hambly. Book two in the series will be out soon.
Although this is the first of my Confirmed Bachelors series and can be read as a standalone, Allerdale follows on directly from my Miss Wolfraston’s Ladies series and he first appears in Georgianna, book 3 of that series.
Handsome and charismatic, Miles Gilham, Earl of Allerdale, has a reputation for being a little wild. After spending months running his father’s estate in Yorkshire to make amends for disgracing his family the year before, he reluctantly returns to Town. He has promised his mother that he will find a bride this season, but his heart is not in it. The only eligible lady that amuses him is not looking for a husband and is the sort of headstrong girl that would make an uncomfortable wife.
After her diplomat father dies, Eleanor Edgcott returns to England heartbroken. When her mourning period is over, her cousin, Lord Haverham, brings her to Town for the season. She finds herself interested in everything and everyone about her. Between trying to plan her future, keeping Diana, Lady Haverham from the clutches of a rake, and trying to help a lovelorn couple, she finds herself with very little time for reflection.
She is drawn to Lord Allerdale but soon realises that he is the last person to meet the list of requirements she has drawn up for a husband. Circumstances draw them together, however, and just when they discover that they share a very special connection, an event occurs that threatens to ruin any chance of happiness they may have.
Edited in April 2021 and a harrowing read in parts, this is a fascinating tale.
A boy from one of Seville’s poorest barrios lives for bullfighting. It is a passion that consumes him and one day he gets his chance to live the dream. However, fame and fortune do not necessarily bring happiness and a love affair almost destroys him. Forces conspire to drive him away and he becomes a raw recruit fighting in Spain’s African war. The hardship, the trials and tribulations of fighting in Morocco change him and it is a very different young man who finally returns to the bullrings of Andalusia.
Coming soon, the latest in this post-apocalyptic series is now available for pre-order.
After arriving in Calcasieu Parish, Will quickly realizes the fight for survival is far from over, and the farm may not be the safe haven he was seeking.
With foreign fighters quickly approaching–a decision must be made–flee with what they can carry–or stay and fight.
The lives of everyone he loves are on the line, and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect them.
Edited in February, this is a truly high-octane thriller.
DS Mark Kane of SO-10, the Metropolitan Police undercover unit, operates right on the edge. After a young woman is murdered during a drug run off the west coast of France, Europol and her wealthy father team up to recruit the perfect person to help them find the killers. Kane is exactly what they’re looking for.
With the murderers suspected to be members of the International F1 Powerboat Racing fraternity, Kane needs to become a credible powerboat racer in record time and without blowing his cover. As Kane starts to infiltrate the F1 racing fraternity, he discovers the dangers of powerboat racing both on and off shore.
Edited in April, this is the third in the fast-paced Adam Cross thriller series.
Beware the eye of the storm…
Adam Cross faces a life-changing decision when he returns in the gripping Christian suspense series finale!
When a massive hurricane hits Turtle Cove, Chief Perry and his team battle to save the community. As the small coastal town’s residents come together in the wake of the disaster, the discovery of an unfamiliar survivor who washed ashore has the townsfolk guessing.
Another wonderful and humorous instalment in the Guesthouse on the Green series as Mammy and Moira travel Vietnam.
I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
