“Jane Austen herself would likely enjoy this clean romance!”
KATHLEEN ROUSER, The Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Collection
“A lot of research has gone into the period detail in this novel which I found fascinating…naval battles and life at sea, the wonderful variety of food and the colourful slang words and expressions.”
ROSIE AMBER'S BOOK REVIEW TEAM
“I'm a big fan of Georgette Heyer's Regency romances, and this stands up nicely alongside them...I would give this ten stars if I could!”
JULIANA DEERING, Author, The Drew Fathering Mysteries
“The Jane-esque language in this novel is exquisite…(and) like a runaway horse, the plot picks up speed, hurtling along!”
JANICE L. DICK, Author, The Road to Happenstance
Burkard has a deft way of helping the reader immerse themselves in the genre’s conventions…Almacks, balls, and curricle rides.The scenes are also fairly fast paced and entertaining, and there is some intrigue and villainy to keep the plot moving forward.
