5* review of False Pretences by Famous Author Maggi Anderson

I am delighted with best-selling historical romance novelist, Maggi Anderson’s review of False Pretences.

 Five Star review.

A Delicious Romp

By Maggi Andersen on July 11, 2016

“I enjoy the historical accuracy in Rosemary Morris' novels. This one is no exception, the exquisite details are a delight. Feisty, adventurous heroine, Annabelle Allan, yearns to discover who her guardian is. With only a dim memory of a French lady who left her at Beeches, a school for young ladies, Annabelle runs away when she is told she is to marry a stranger, an older man with a rakish reputation. This charming story lives up to its title, False Pretences, and we remain unsure who anyone is, including the gorgeous hero, until near the end of the story when the mystery is revealed. Despite the lack of explicit detail in the sex scenes, there is an unceasing, delicious frisson between the hero and heroine throughout.”

This review makes all the hard work of writing False Pretences worthwhile.

False Pretences and The Captain and The Countess early 18^th century romance, mystery and suspense are available as e-publications and paper backs from www.amazon.co.uk and www.amazon.com

“Swounds, he thought, I am expected to marry and produce a male heir. An image of Juliana filled his mind. She would grace these ancient walls better than any other lady he knew. But what would she say whenhe revealed his past?”This is but a snippet of the delightful prose found in Far Beyond Rubies by Rosemary Morris. The author perfectly achieves the delicate balance of elegance and spice, humor and pathos, in this tale that takes place in England during the reign of Queen Anne.

The settings and characters are exquisitely detailed and described, from cruel and scheming relatives to determined orphans, and an unusual hero with mysteries of the orient in his silky, spicy past. Throw in some extremely amusing servants and landladies, and one is set for a thoroughly charming reading experience.

 

Rosemary goes beyond the mere surface of the era, rewarding the reader with an enchanting story set against a vivid backdrop of the of the culture, politics, and belief systems of the times, and the issues that developed when East met West: Fascinating. Lovingly and beautifully rendered throughout.

And the book trailer of the novel can be viewed on my website.

5* review of Far Beyond Rubies

Far Above Rubies has received five star reviews, one of which is as follows:-

“Hot Hero, Great Research, Touch of the Exotic, 24 Mar 2013

J. Pittam "Maythorn. "This review is from: Far Beyond Rubies (Kindle Edition)

It was great to see that there's a new Rosemary Morris out. I like her exquisite attention to detail, and she writes in the reign of Queen Anne, which is something a bit different from the usual Regency romance. In this new book, which I have to admit I raced through and will now read again, the heroine Juliana is stunned to discover that, according to her half-brother William, she and her sister are bastards.

The tale of how Gervaise Seymour helps her, how she helps herself, her sister and her various strays is quite enchanting.

Rosemary uses her knowledge of India, very pertinent in this period, to bring a spice of something different to this novel. Her 'tanned hero' is no pallid, painted Englishman but one who has travelled, married and been widowed on that exotic continent, thus earning himself the nickname 'Beau Hindu' amongst the fashionable in London.

This novel is not a light book, as it contains research into the politics, religion and morality of the reign of Queen Anne. However the research informs the novel quite naturally and I found this to be a lovely, sparkling romance. It is somewhat in the style of the late Georgette Heyer, although I think after four novels Rosemary Morris is developing a voice of her own.

Suitable for those who like a cracking good historical romance set in England, wll-researched, sensual but no explicit sex.”

 

5* review of Far Beyond Rubies

Far Beyond Rubies is a little action packed gem of romance, intrigue, adventure, villainry and excitement. The hero is so hot you'll need a cool drink to go along with your read. There is a hint of love's embrace holding its memories across time and space, and sparkles of exotic India twinkling through the mix. Rosemary's best novel to date!
