Sandy Raven

I find myself adoring the characters in this book as much as I adored Ren and Lia in the previous one. I also think that this one is a bit more on the humorous side as it made me laugh out loud on many places.

In the second book in the Caversham Chronicles we get reacquainted with Elise, Ren’s little sister, the one that’s a tomboy and horse mad. I wasn’t that impressed with her in Lia and Ren’s story, but Ms. Raven made sure I had enough of her background in this book and that was fortunate as I came to admire her greatly.

And then there’s our hero, Michael, a very best friend of our heroine’s brother, Ren. Oh, Michael, Michael, Michael! I loved you from the start, even though you made me want to slap you around a few times, you were someone who was determined to learn his lessons the hard way, but once you realized your ‘folly’ I admired your tenacity in correcting it.

Here’s another thing I loved in this story: the age difference between the couple was significant, yet the author handled it so beautifully.

Once again I find myself loving the fast pace this author sets for her stories, as well as the prose and dialogue which kept me intrigued and ‘glued’ to my Kindle.

By the way, all the stories in this series were written in such a way that you really don’t have to read them in order as they can be read as stand alone.

Highly recommended!

Here’s the thing. Sometimes I just ‘stumble’ on an author or a story and I can’t even know how I did it, and if I love what I ‘discovered’ then there’s nothing that can hold me back from spreading the word and telling you guys all about it.

That’s exactly what happened to me with this author and her Caversham Chronicle series.

In the first book we are following Ren, a Duke that is like no other dukes I’ve read about. He owns a shipping company, and is a Captain of his own ship too!

He finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery and an international intrigue that is one of the best plots I’ve read in a while.

Lia is one of those heroines you will literally jump out of your seat as you read of her predicament and root for her as she risks her life for her baby brother who is in jeopardy.

This story starts off with drama, and is filled with intrigue that will have you at the edge of your seat, but more than anything it is the characters that held me spellbound. Without a doubt this is a character driven plot, with a fast and furious pace that will have you turning pages and dreading the end at the same time, because you just don’t want it to end.

I’m over the moon for discovering this author! This is a well-written and plotted and story with brilliant characters and killer dialogue. Highly recommending the entire series.
