The Second Son is the prequel to Vonnie Hughes’ wonderful historical romance, Coming Home. It is the achingly sensitive story of the plight of “spare siblings” in the 19th century when the first son automatically inherited all properties, titles and rights and any other sons were left to find their own way. John Trewbridge comes home from the wars to find his brother affianced to the woman he had asked to be his wife. It seems his lack of a title was her premise for refusing. While he struggles with deciding his future, an annoying young woman with a limp continually crosses his path. When a shocking accident changes his destiny, he must deal with the guilt that his gain is his family’s loss.

*

What they’re saying:

*
This story is beautifully written with characters who pull at your heartstrings and whose imperfections add to their credibility. Hughes skillfully draws you back to the 19th century where you walk alongside the characters, share their adventures and feel their emotions. I love her writing style and am looking forward to reading more of her work.

“A nice little read that skillfully intertwines the supernatural horror of zombies with the all-too-real horror of the Civil War.”

What they’re saying about it:

*

[Rachel] Howzell is the Sue Grafton of her generation, with a bit more social conscience and street cred. Like Grafton’s Kinsey Milhone, Syeeda is determined to be her own woman, solving crimes and facing down danger, and protecting her own body — and heart — as ferociously as she hunts down bad guys. — Nina Sankovitch, Read All Day and the Huffington Post
*
No One Knows You’re Here is obviously an adult book, but Howzell has written it with so much taste that none of the scenes, be them sex, autopsy or murder scenes, are overdone for the sake of giving too much detail. The characters were interesting, complicated and diverse. And the theme is definitely controversial. — PaulaSHx: Book Reviews

Tamra Dervon, Captain of the Guard of Wayfare Keep, thinks her biggest problem is her love affair with Jessup. The scout is holding things back from her, and she doesn’t know what. But when a seemingly unbeatable army of demons invades, Tamra’s personal problems look very small. Tamra and Jessup find themselves leading a last-ditch defense. Their army is defeated. Jessup disappears in the retreat. As Tamra continues the struggle to defend her homeland, she discovers that another duty lies ahead — to face a demon horde alone.

 

What they’re saying about it:

 

“This book covers an interesting twist on medieval war, perfect for any one interested in an action/romance taking place in a time similar to the Dark Ages. Tamara starts off the book as a one personality character; she’s tough, self reliant, and doesn’t care about what others think. As the story develops you discover various idiosyncrasies that individualize Tamara and make her a fuller and rounder character including her relationship with Jessup, her friendship with Cedrian, and her mess up family life. Over all this is a great book, especially if you like books that medieval with a twist of magic.”

 

“Rousing fantasy romance novel. Good story, excellent characters and the battles scenes are entirely believable. Nota bad way spend a day in in thy sun.”

A missing prince. A haunted castle. A dangerous man bent on ruling the kingdom – whatever the cost.

When Rosamond and her friend Dan head out on her birthday to explore an abandoned and haunted castle, they expect to find only a ghost or two. Instead they discover the missing prince, and stumble into the middle of a violent, desperate bid for the throne.

In order to save the injured Prince Jaren, and themselves, Rosamond must reach beyond her own violent past to find her courage, and Dan must find the way to his true self.

Their only help is a children’s story come to life: an ancient sorcerer whose soul has been trapped in the walls of the castle for centuries.

Can they keep the prince alive long enough to bring him home safe?

Can they defeat the man who would be king?

“Don’t let the YA Fantasy `label’ fool or deter you from this wonderful novella! Author Cate Dean does an amazing job of putting the reader right in the castle with Rose, Dan and Jaren as they traverse their harrowing ordeal. The characters are well-drawn, the plot believable for the genre, and the writing will not let you stop reading until you’ve reached the end. I also enjoyed the excerpt for Dean’s next book and will buy a copy as soon as it’s available. I highly recommend you pick up a copy and enjoy this one for yourself.”
