Promised
by Leah Garriott
Warwickshire, England, 1812
Mrs. Hickmore shuffled our party of hopeful strangers into her lavish dining room.
This book is outstanding! I truly cannot recommend it enough. If you love Regency-era novels, then Promised is definitely for you.
Check back on Sunday for my full review of this wonderful story.

I used to love the novels of Georgette Hayer when I was a teen. Maybe I’d give this a try after such a recommendation.

It’s so good. I’ve never read a Hayer novel. I’ll have to check her books out.

Promised sounds like a really good story, and I love that opening line.
On my blog this week I’m sharing the first line from Puzzle Pieces by Rachael Bloome:
“Elle Montgomery wanted nothing more than a cozy night in.”
Have a great weekend. 🙂
