MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW

Title: Sarah's Choice: The Trenwith Collection Book 1

Author: Rosie Clarke

Genre: Historical Fiction, Saga

RATING - 5/5

"Sarah's Choice," the first book in The Trenwith Collection by Rosie Clarke, unveils a poignant tale set against the backdrop of England's High Society in Hampshire, 1913, leading into the tumultuous era of World War I. In this compelling saga, Sarah Trenwith, overshadowed by her enchantingly beautiful sister Marianne, must navigate societal expectations and the impending war to claim the love she's always yearned for.

As the specter of war looms closer, Sarah faces a pivotal moment. Stepping out of the confines imposed by society and her family becomes imperative if she's to fulfill her role and secure the affection she has long admired from a distance.

Meanwhile, Troy, heir to Lord Pelham's estate, is determined to contribute to the war effort despite societal expectations that exempt him from joining the army. However, the realities of war bring unforeseen challenges, altering the future he once envisioned with his true love, seemingly snatching it away from his grasp.

Rosie Clarke weaves a tale brimming with emotions, trials, and the enduring power of love amidst the backdrop of wartime hardships. The narrative artfully captures the essence of an era fraught with uncertainty, sacrifice, and the struggle to find love and happiness amid the chaos of conflict.

As the story unfolds through the trials and tribulations of war, Clarke skillfully portrays the arduous journey of two star-crossed lovers. Their quest for happiness amidst adversity and the aftermath of war presents a compelling narrative that speaks to resilience, hope, and the enduring pursuit of love.

"Sarah's Choice" (previously published as A Gentleman’s Honour by Linda Sole) invites readers into a richly detailed world where societal norms clash with the tumultuous backdrop of war, portraying the indomitable spirit of individuals grappling with love, loss, and the quest for happiness amid trying times.

Rosie Clarke's storytelling prowess shines through the beautifully depicted characters and the intricacies of their intertwined destinies, making this historical saga a poignant and engaging read. For enthusiasts of historical fiction woven with captivating romance and the vivid tapestry of wartime Britain, "Sarah's Choice" serves as a compelling introduction to The Trenwith Collection, promising an immersive journey through the lives of its characters amidst the trials of love and war.

Thanks to NetGalley and Publisher Boldwood Books for an advance digital copy for my honest review.

BOOK ON TOUR #AFTER PEARL #HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION #SANTA FE WRITERS PROJECT PUBLISHERS #BOOK REVIEW #STEPHEN G EOANNOU

  MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW After Pearl is a captivating historical mystery set in 1942, during the turbulent months following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The novel follows Nicholas Bishop, an alcoholic private investigator and shell-shocked WWI veteran, who wakes up in a seedy hotel room with a hangover, a foggy memory, and two bullets missing from his revolver. Worse still, lounge singer Pearl DuGaye is dead, and Bishop is the prime suspect. As he stumbles through a haze of forgotten days, Bishop—assisted by the sharp and capable Gia Alessi, a loyal sidekick who may or may not still be on his payroll—dives into a web of deceit and danger. His investigation leads him through Buffalo’s underworld, rubbing shoulders with crooked politicians, high-society elites, and an underground group of American Nazis. All the while, he’s haunted by flashbacks from the Great War and shadowed by a one-eyed dog named Jake. The pacing is tight and energetic. The mystery unfolds gradually but never drag...

MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW  RG Belsky and Bonnie Traymore in their new novel SWIPE has put together all the troubles those dating apps or online dating can bring. Especially to anyone looking for love in the wrong places. This story has looked in depth at the unsuspected danger, risk, threat and guilt that comes to married people who think it's casual or normal that they can cheat their spouses behind their back. It's very evident that they are lonely, desperate or unhappy in their lives or relationships.  Jake, a Journalist at New York Banner is hellbent to prove the mysterious death of Matt Furman. Matt a hiker and a married man who dated women online behind his wife and children's back ended up falling down accidently to the Hudson river. Was Matt's death a tragic accident or murder? The irony is that Matt was dating Sonya online. Sonya disliked Matt at their first encounter at the Palisade trail. Jake who covers stories desires to know why Matt committed infidelity...
