Book 3 2014 The Heiress of Winterwood (Whispers on the Moor) Sara Ladd

This one has languished on my kindle for the last few months after it's release and now with the release of book 2, I thought it was high time to get into book 1. Love any titled set in the Regency period and this one looks like an intriguing plot and fascinating setting.

Review - All Things Hidden. Traci Petersen and Kimberley Woodhouse

All Things Hidden by Tracie Peterson All Things Hidden by Tracie Peterson, Kimberley Woodhouse 5 of 5 stars Read from December 31, 2013 to January 01, 2014 A story that promised much with it's beautiful cover art and intriguing setting, I couldn't wait to bury myself in it. When 200 new colonists are sent to 1930s Alaska, to face a new life in a vastly different landscape and remote settlement. Gwyn along with her father Harold Hillerman have loved in the Alaskan town for many years together after his wife left with Gwyn's younger sister to return to Chicago, unable to endure the remote and primitive conditions. Gwyn is not a fan of change and has lived and worked alongside her beloved father for as long as she can remember. The news that their peaceful town is about to be inundated with new and desperate folks is not news she relishes. Meanwhile in Chicago, young and dedicated Doctor Jeremiah Vaughan is about to discover his life has turned upside down and wrong way around. He looses a patient and is summarily stripped of his medical licence and his fiancé calls off their engagement due to the scandal reflecting on her. She also just happens to be Gwyn's younger sister. When Jeremiah gets that chance to escape Chicago and head to the Alaskan town to join Dr Hillerman, he thinks he can keep the sordid scandal a secret but for how long . . . Add to this an intriguing tale of bank robbery and a villainous character also heading for the same Alaskan town and you have a thrilling combination of gentle love story and surprisingly suspenseful tale. I also loved the historical detail, which is well explained at the end of the book, revealing what was fiction and what was directly sourced from facts. With many twists and turns, this will keep the lover of historical tales very happy. Unique setting and well rounded characters will make the pages literally fly by. Lets hope this is not the only tale told in this fascinating setting and time period. It's literally crying out for a sequel if not an entire series.

First book I plan to read in 2014 All Things Hidden by Traci Petersen

This is one I've been looking into for a while and awaiting the release. It's a full priced title so has to be special to warrant the extra cost. Also I'm a sucker for the beautiful cover art. (I know I know don't judge a book . . . ) but we all know we actually do :)
