Recommendation of the Week: 01/09/11 - 01/15/11

'The Bridal Season'

by Connie Brockway

"Letty Potts has gotten into a few fixes in her twenty-five years, but this is her worst predicament yet. A petty schemer by necessity, the struggling music hall performer has decided to go straight.
But after narrowly escaping the wrath of her partner in crime, she finds herself at Paddington Station with nothing but the gown she's wearing ... and another woman's train ticket clutched in her hand.
Now masquerading as the redoubtable "Lady Agatha," of Whyte Wedding Celebrations, Letty arrives in the backwater burg of Little Bidewell, where she is to arrange the nuptials of a young society bride.
Amid the dizzying whirl of pre-wedding festivities, nobody suspects Letty's secret ... except the sensual and aristocratic Sir Elliot March.
A war hero who has forsworn love, Elliot senses something decidedly amiss about this outspoken young woman. Yet she awakens a passionate yearning he'd thought was lost to him forever.
Soon a desperate masquerade embroils them both in a web of scandal and danger as Letty's past catches up with her — threatening their lives ... and a love without peer."Source

My Thoughts: I haven't read a Connie Brockway, but I'd love to start with her The Rose Hunters series. This is the last book (as of now- I think) and perfect incentive for me to pick up the first book,'My Pleasure'. You guys know I love a war hero ;), and the plot looks yummy! It's on the radar for-sure.

Coming Soon: Anticipated Releases for December 2010

Happy Holidays one and all! Hope your Christmas and New Years is as spectacular as can be. And don't go sticking your tounge on frozen lamp posts and getting it stuck. Ralphie and the gang will be too busy purcashing their copy of these fabulous December reads to help you!
   This month's list was a bit harder to compile. So many wonderful Christmas themed historicals were released wither few days ago (and therefore didn't qualify as a December release in MY book), or there weren't that many historicals books being published this month. You guys know how I am: If the release date is November 30th, it's still a November release in my book. But I do want to remind you guys of a Nov. 30th book that is perfect for the holidays. Cathy Maxwell's 'His Christmas Pleasure' should already be in your TBR pile, but if not, you've got the perfect excuse to get it now!  

Here are the Anticipated Releases for December 2010!!!

December 1st- Harlequin and it's imprint will be working the worker elves to death this month! Today is December 1st, and all these fabulous books are available for your purchasing pleasure!
