Here are some quick reviews of the books I read this month.
The Jane Austen Society
This story was an absolute delight! I love historical fiction, Jane Austen, and World War Two settings, so this checked all my boxes. If you enjoy unlikely friendship stories, you'll enjoy this sweet novel with damaged characters in a charming setting. Highly recommended.
I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher for the purpose of review.

Dust
This was a lot fun. I enjoy the Peter Pan story, although I'm pretty limited to the Disney version. This is a little bit darker. It's very YA. Lots of angst, but very readable.

The Words Between Us
This was a really enjoyable book about books. It's a bit more literary in style, and character driven. It's published by a Christian publisher, and it's clean. However, there's very little faith content, so if you're looking for true Christian fiction, I don't think this qualifies. It is a really interesting story, though that I would definitelyrecommend.

Emma
This was delightful. I highly recommend especially if you struggle with Austen. It's like listening to radio theater. Very well done with and excellent cast.

Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey
I thoroughly enjoyed this marriage of convenience story set in Regency England. There is lots of spy drama and intrigue, and the story moves along at a good pace. I also liked the fact that the main character was an unwed mother. That's something we don't see much in historical fiction, and I thought it added a lot to the story. I would highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy historical romance with a little mystery thrown in.
I received this book for free from Netgalley and the publisher for review, but I also purchased a copy for myself.
The Heiress of Winterwood
I have enjoyed all of Sarah J. Ladd's books so far, but I haven't read her original series, Whispers on the Moors. I finally picked up her debut, and loved it. I'm a sucker for marriage of convenience, and people thrown together in unlikely circumstances, so this was right up my alley. The heroine could be a little frustrating at times, but she meant well. I'm excited to read the next book in this series.
Mercy Road
I really enjoyed the historical aspect of this book. The romance and story line fell a little flat for me. I have enjoyed this author in the past, so I was a little disappointed. It was just ok.
The Viscount and the Vicar's Daughter
This was a fun historical romance that I read on vacation. It was clean with great banter. Mimi Matthews has been a hit with me twice now, so I'll definitely be going back for more.
Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments.
