The Memory of Her

The Memory of Her


The Gentleman Spy Mysteries, Book 3

by Bianca M. Schwarz


⭐⭐⭐💫 /5


The third book of Schwarz’s Gentleman Spy Mysteries brings back more familiar characters!


I was pleasantly surprised to see that the FMC for this book would be Eliza Broad, whom was also the FCM in the first book. That book ended with a happy for now situation with Eliza happy as the mistress and spy partner to Sir Henry March. This, while realistic, say heavily on me. So fast forward to this present book and we finally get a happily ever after for Eliza.


Our HEA is hard won as Eliza is tasked to lead a mission to recuperate the returned spy captive and her former friend, Allen Strathem. Allen has alway had a tender for Eliza, but her relationship with Harry in the past prevented him from expressing his feelings, now he is returned a broken and battered man, both physically and emotionally from the torture he endured from his Russian captives…


Through Eliza’s caretaking and strength leading the mission to secure Allen’s safety a new connection is formed between them. Their shared experiences of past violence and trauma futures their bond. But all is not well with the Russian threat still looming and getting closer to them…


This was the tale I didn’t know I needed. After feeling less than satisfied from the original happy for now in book 1, and Sir Harry ending his liaison with Eliza in book 2 and courting a lady in book 2, this romance was just what was needed! I love how this pairing is on a more equal footing and Allen is forever deferring to Eliza and her competency as they continue their mission. A perfect pairing.


This book was darker that book 2, but lighter that the first book. Still not your average historical romance. 


Over all I was pleased to revisit these characters and for the love life of Eliza to come full circle. If anyone deserves an HEA, it’s her!



The Memory of Her by Bianca M. Schwarz was released April 5, 2022.

The Art of Taxidermy

by    Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms!  This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
