The Promise by Lauren Hunter. I must say it has been awhile since a historical romance has caught my attention!  I read this book very quickly.  I loved the banter between the Duke and Lady Elizabeth and I loved the concept:  True Soul mates exist and not even death can separate them. I love historical romance, but a lot of modern ones have left me disappointed due to the lack of research with their time period; however, Lauren Hunter's writing shows she took the time to make it accurate and believable for the time period she has written about and to me that is one of the most important aspects of historical fiction of any kind. There is a lot of back and forth between the Duke and Lady Elizabeth and even though Lady Elizabeth tries to rebuke the Duke, he is determined to win her.  This all leads to a plot twist that I didn't see coming!  If you are a fan of historical romance, this book is for you!  A very solid 5!

Just a couple more days with the lovely Lauren Hunter as our Author of the Week. I just wanted to finish off by giving you the opportunity to read Lauren's response to our random questions, and also to let you all have a little read of her new release The Promise which is due for release at the end of the month. Rafflecopter is up and running at the bottom of this post. 1.      What’s in your fridge right now? Not much, my mom used to do the shopping, but now that it’s me and my dad we have a completely different list of foods we get. For the longest time there weren’t any vegetables in there, other than premade Coleslaw for my dad. Other than that, maybe some fruit and condiments. I know, I know, it sounds pathetic, but when you’re grieving you don’t really care. 2.      What song do you sing at the top of your voice every time you hear it? I don’t listen to music anymore, not since my mom died. But when I did it wouldn’t be ...

Yep, Week 6 of our AUTHOR OF THE WEEK Feature is well and truly underway. Crazy I know! We hope you've already had chance to check out our review of Lauren's The Coffee Shop; it really is a very enjoyable and different paranormal read. What we have now, which is one of my favourite parts, is our author interview with a rafflecopter giveaway just after! I love author interviews, as it really helps to give an insight into their world, their inspiration. It really is a fascinating place! So please, enjoy getting to know Lauren that little bit better. Enjoy. 1.      Tell us a bit about yourself. Okay, ‘a bit about yourself.’ ; )   Not much to tell really, other than I am working to get my writing published. My novels and short stories are being contracted for publication, and I hope to continue on that same path. 2.      What inspired you to write your first book? My first book? I don’t know if I would say I was inspired...
