#BookReview The Serpent by Kate Robbins

Let me be up front and honest: Historical fiction and historical romance are two genres that I can't always get into.

#BookReview Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule by Jennifer Chiaverini

  Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule is a riveting drama that follows the lives of Julia, a young and wealthy woman, and Jule, her slave. If I had to limit this book's description to two words, I would call it a historical drama. Typically, I am not a fan of books like this but somehow…

#BookReview Sons of York by Lesley J Nickell
