My Thoughts

Swoonalishic!!! I know that is not a "real" word but that is what this book is. I have loved Freddie and Grace since The Mistletoe Countess; this book was no different. Pepper Basham not only transports her readers to Italy she transports this reader back in time. I felt like I was reading an Agatha Christie novel with loads of romantic swoon!

My favorite quotes . . .

"It's incredibly dashing when you speak sleuth."

"I think you're beautiful, and you're incredibly dangerous to my heart."

Freddie and Grace are two of my favorite bookish couples, and I will happily follow them on their next adventure!! Please, Pepper!!!

About Pepper Basham

I love a good romance, whether it’s set in an Edwardian era manor house or a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Readers enjoy my fun, dramatic, heart-warming, and inspirational novels with the certainty of a happily-ever-after.

Though some of my contemporaries have a Britallachian twist, others are Mayberry-esque, while others bring about the elegance and struggles of the Downton Abbey era. If any of these story ideas sound good to you, take some time to peruse my cyber corner of the world. “Sit a spell” as we’d say in my neck of the woods and let me ‘spin you a yarn’ filled with a few of my favorite things.
