Resting after the hectic holidays, I curled up with one of my favorite romance authors, Jane Feather! Jane was born in England and has a great sense of detail in her historical romances. When I read them I am transported across time and sea, kind of like in Alien's spaceship, to a magical land of lords and ladies. Here is an excerpt from the back cover of The Diamond Slipper.
"What comes to mind when you think of a diamond slipper? Cinderella perhaps? That's what Cordelia Brandenburg imagines when her godparents arrange a marriage for her with a man she's never met. A marriage that will take her to Versailles, far from the rigid confines of her childhood home. The betrothal gift is a charm bracelet with a tiny, glittering diamond slipper attached... as befits a journey into a fairy-tale future. But Cordelia-young, headstrong, and completely adorable-runs into trouble right away. "

Sigh, I just can't get into historical romances. I am a contemporary suspense romance fan :)

Mom has read that book! Have you read The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker? Mom says there's not a lot of "heat" in the books, but the series is a fun read! She's all aflutter to read the last Fever book in a couple of weeks, too!

Oh, how the Mom longs for the old days when she had lots of reading time - that book is one she would really enjoy. Maybe we can get her to put it on her list of to-reads.

Thanks for sharing the book. I'm hopping over to have a look at Jane Feather's website now.
That sounds really good, my friend is crazy about romances - I am more of a crime thriller myself but I will pass her the name of the author. Thanks for sharing
