I’ve read some great books this year, but I know the best is yet to come. And it’s coming soon!
There are three books soon to be released which I’m very excited about. If you haven’t already pre-ordered them, do so now as the pre-order prices are hard to beat.
Here’s what I’m looking forward to:
Love’s Reckoning by Laura Frantz
Regular readers of our blog will know that Laura is one of my absolute favourite authors. Love’s Reckoning is her fourth book release, and the first book in a new four book series.
When I want to absolutely lose myself in an historical setting, and fall madly in love with a heart-stopping hero – I turn to Laura’s books. And how dramatic does this cover look?? I can’t wait to read this new one!
Love’s Reckoning will be released 1st September 2012
In this sweeping family saga set in western Pennsylvania, one man’s choices in love and work, in friends and enemies, set the stage for generations to come. Love’s Reckoning is the first entry in The Ballantyne Legacy, a rich, multi-layered historical quartet from talented writer Laura Frantz, beginning in the late 1700s and following the Ballantyne family through the end of the Civil War.

Against the Tide by Elizabeth Camden
As a child, Lydia Pallas became all too familiar with uncertainty when it came to the future. Now, she’s finally carved out a perfect life for herself–a life of stability and order with no changes, surprises, or chaos of any kind. She adores her apartment overlooking the bustling Boston Harbor, and her skill with languages has landed her a secure position as a translator for the U.S. Navy.
However, it is her talent for translation that brings her into contact with Alexander Banebridge, or “Bane,” a man who equally attracts and aggravates her. When Bane hires Lydia to translate a seemingly innocuous collection of European documents, she hesitantly agrees, only to discover she is in over her head.
Just as Bane’s charm begins to win her over, Lydia learns he is driven by a secret campaign against some of the most dangerous criminals on the East Coast, compelled by his faith and his past. Bane forbids any involvement on Lydia’s part, but when the criminals gain the upper hand, it is Lydia on whom he must depend.
