And this one is fun, with a spoiled lord and a feisty girl, you just know the sparks will fly. This is a another charming Minger romance, with witty dialogue and a wide cast of interesting characters.

Paul Doherty makes the 1300's England come alive.  When I read his books, I'm transported back into time.  I can see the mud, smell the odors of the marketplace and streets, see the poverty and rich.  Plus, his characters are real.  I enjoy the plots and the discovery of clues.  He's a vivid story teller.

I do love reading these books if only to step back in time.  The series has been very entertaining.  The characters are realistic and interesting.  I like the way this author allows us to see all different levels of society and throws in some mystery and romance with it.  These books are great reading at the end of a long day when I need to unwind my mind.  I'll keep reading the series and may go on to some of this author's short stories.

I have enjoyed each new chapter of the Molly Murphy series and "In a Gilded Cage" is no exception. Ms. Bowen has written another novel about this female private detective in New York City and the turn of the last century. Since I enjoy historical fiction, I really take pleasure in the painstaking detail that Ms. Bowen describes the city in these books. Having lived in New York City, I can get the sense of what it was like 100 years ago. Molly is hired by not one but two female acquaintances that lead her throughout the city, while she still tries to maintain a relationship with her policeman fianc. These Molly Murphy mysteries are pure historical joy.

One has to an historian to enjoy this book, especially of the pre-Revolutionary War era. It is interesting to read the various "takes" on this period. As always, the winners write their own history.

This enchanting novel weaves a tale thru past & present. As you read there is the inevitable sense of the collision affecting both eras. I eagerly await this author's next book.

The Thoenes never fail to delight me with historical events and pepple brought to life. I feel like  I know the characters in this story. My life and faith have been enriched.

While no book is ever perfect in how it is written, the important thing is if you enjoy it. I found this book enjoyable and a great escape. It has intrigue, passion and interest. I have read it several times and really enjoy losing myself in Historic England.

I really enjoy Michael Cole's historical fiction. My family often played, swam, fished, boated at the Salton Sea in the late 50s thru the early 60s. No such opportunities when I was the father of my own family. In once sense it was a nostalgic read for me. I also enjoy a good mystery, and Michael Cole delivers as he always does. At times the tension builds slowly, at other times it's instantaneous. Riding along with the protagonists in their dune buggies as they crisscross the desert searching for the galleon was especially fun.

I personally, am a "history nut", meaning, I love seeing various historical aspects. While this story lacked depth in providing historic details, it was still a truly delightful read, which kept me laughing & turning the page. This is the kind of book you take to read at the beach, on vacation, or when you just need a "light" break from the world with your imagination, to escape to someplace "positive" for a while. This is the book to accomplish that. This is the book to read. It is also a shorter read of a story & goes by fast. If you like books such as the Outlander series, but need a break from the heavy historical content that Gabaldon can dish out, look no further, this is it. I am looking forward to the next book in this series!

A lifetime of secret and lives never leave, it is always lived.  The adage of not allowing the past to dictate your future is fiction because your past shapes you as you walk into the future as told in this story

The historical flavor and the comfortable cast of Ca
Nara tees make these a wonderful series to read. From a disappearing client to the corridors of parliament this is a great read.

Always enjoy reading historical fiction.  If I bother to look for and read the remainder of the trilogy you know that I felt the story engaging.

Sidebottom is once again at the top of his game as he leads off a new series based on a character who is drafted due to valor into the Praetorian Guard during the start of the rule of Comodus. Unlike some of his earlier work, this latest effort has a less scholarly tone making it more approachable for those who are looking for good old fashioned, well written action, adventure and intrigue with a solid historic basis. While less scholarly in tone, the authenticity of the writing is borne smoothly and knowledgeably, a truly enjoyable read and immersive in the time. My one disappointment was that the historical accuracy was such that in a fit of "what happens to these characters', Wikipedia gave away some salient plot resolution points :-) Make no mistake though, this is great historical fiction!

Can't wait for the next in the series!!

G. Heyer is one of my favorite authors.  Her stories always entertain and allow me to escape from the day to day stuff that I have to deal with.  Her characters are fun and human.  Easy to relate to her characters and their situations.
