What I really love about this author and this series is the range of stories she manages to work into this world.    You never really know what you’re going to get in each book. This is a very quiet book – it starts with Miles making an incredibly stupid (and uncharacteristic) mistake – he

I really liked the premise of this book – set in Regency times (in a slightly alternate world where the Prince of Wales is not yet regent, and married differently than in our own timeline), Sarah Tolerance is a fallen woman. She was ruined by her family’s fencing master, and had a lovely life with

My family is filtering into town – my sister and younger niece arrived a week ago Thursday (younger niece spent this week at her first sleep away camp). So the photo taking at our outings has been a bit reduced – I’ve been concentrating on tide pooling. But the beach is there, and is lovely!
