My Thoughts:
Michelle Griep writes wonderful Regency tales filled with
history and intrigue. Her latest novel, Ladies of Intrigue, is actually comprised of three novellas. Personally, I don't
enjoy novellas because everything is so rushed, and the plot doesn't feel
complete. With Ladies of Intrigue,
the novellas claim to have romance with a dash of mystery, but I did not
discern any mystery in any of three novellas. The romance appeared rushed. BUT
Griep does a fabulous job at bringing the Regency world to life. The setting
shines on the page. As well as Griep's ability to create characters worth
getting to know. I just, personally, wished the novellas were full length
novels, so Griep could spend more time developing the romance and the mystery.
If you are a fan of novellas and Griep's other writings or a fan of Sarah E.
Ladd and Julie Klassen, then this might be the perfect book for you.
I received a complimentary copy of Ladies of Intrigue by Michelle Griep from Barbour Publishing, but
the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
3 out of 5 stars

About the Author:
I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which
basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write
fiction. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I
seek to glorify God in all that I write--except for that graffiti phase I went
through as teenager. (Taken from Amazon.)
