Bookreview: Master & Marquis

"What a beautiful love story!"

Summary

Declan Dalton, the Marquis of Barrington, fell in love with Lady Elisa
Remington when they were childhood companions running over the 
countryside.

He traveled to the continent, fought for his country, managed his estates,
and tried, in vain to stay as far away from her as possible. Because Elisa
is worthy so much more than a man like him, a man with dark, hidden,
dangerous desires, a man with a secret room in his noble estate....

But when a war injury sends him home a decorated hero, Declan cannot
keep his distance from Lady Elisa. He offers for her hand, intent on
protecting her from the erotic passions surging within him - passions far
more potent when she's near. 

My review

I read the second book of the series before without having read the first one,
 but I like the love story, so I'm going to read the first book too. 

However this book really has very strong characters and a well out- spitted
plot, which I enjoyed. It took place in the 19th. century, so it was absolutely
a splendid historical romance. 

I would say: don't doubt and read it! I like to give a 4* rating for this 
amazing historical romance.

Check also my review of the Dream Factory on this link. 

"A beautiful fantasy novel!"

Summary

A Game of Chess is the thrilling sequel to The Dream Factory. Peter Young
thought things couldn't get any worse after his parents were snatched from his
home. He was wrong.

With the help of a revolutionary ephone called Om, and his girlfriend Navinda,

Peter's desperate search for his parents takes him from a sleepy Devon village
to the chaos of London. 

However, Peter and Navinda are merely pawns in a deadly game of chess,
orchestrated by criminal mastermind Rosencrantz and the sinister Golden Hand. 

Who will play the final checkmate? 

My review

For me it was nice to 'meet' the characters from The Dream Factory again 

in this sequel: "A Game of Chess".

As always the author is a wonderful detailed story teller and before I 
knew, I was into the story. So it really is a page turner!

"A Game of Chess" is well written, clear and it read easily, which I 
like very much.

This is a dark and compelling tale with a beautiful love story. If you like
quirky fantasy novels, this is a must read book! I recommend it with a
5 * rating.
