Happy 2020!

 



   Today, I want to introduce you to the book I'm currently reading. It is definitely a page turner.

Can one develop feelings for the man you swore to see hanged? That’s just what Rebecca fears she has done in this Gothic Regency romance. 

After her brother’s mysterious death, Rebecca Hunter vows to expose the man she believes responsible: Mr. Lewis Browning—known by the locals as the Midnight Devil and by Rebecca as her new guardian.

Summoned to his reclusive country estate to await her London season, Rebecca plans her own secret investigation among the darkened corridors of the mysterious Greybourne Hall. Yet Lewis Browning is not as she once imagined, and his motivation is horribly unclear. Recurrent nightmares and Rebecca’s restless feelings are further complicated by the shadow of her mother’s prior descent into madness and wondering if she, too, will follow the same heartbreaking path.

Even as midnight rides, strange injuries, and further murders lead back to Mr. Browning, Rebecca can’t ignore the subtle turn of her heart. Has she fallen for the man she swore would pay for her brother’s death? And moreover, can she trust him with her uncertain future?



    I'm only halfway through this book but it had become one of my favorites and I plan to read other books by this other.
    This book has kept me guessing and suspecting almost everyone in the story. If you like a historical romantic mystery, this is the book for you.

Fun Facts of History

    In Victorian England, black was all the rage. Maybe this had something to do with the Gothic craze. The pollution in the air from coal from the factories, smoke from burning buildings from the East End, and moisture from the Thames was so bad that it your stained clothes when you went outside. Because of the relentless smog, black became the most popular color of choice.
