My Visit to “Married with Fiction”

For my new followers, and in case you missed it, here’s an excerpt from a  post I wrote recently for a lovely blog called “Married With Fiction.” In it, I speak of many aspects of the marriage relationship that I weave through A Lady Most Lovely:

One of those concepts is how wonderfully unique each marriage is, because it is made up of two people who are unique on this earth. Even within the framework set up by God, the husband and wife have plenty of latitude to figure out the details of exactly how their marriage will work. What strengths does each bring to the marriage? How will they work together in day-by-day living? It’s a process that becomes more refined with time and makes the marriage even sweeter.

This is how Tom explains it to Margaret, because their marriage will be unconventional in a number of ways:

“Let me point out something about marriage,” Tom said. “It is a sacred bond. And yes, it is a contract. But every marriage is unique. Every husband and wife must decide between themselves which arrangements are right and proper for their lives. No one else can determine these things for them.”

Historical Novel Society Review for “A Lady Most Lovely”

So happy to receive a wonderful review from the Historical Novel Society for A Lady Most Lovely.

Here is an excerpt from their review:

“Tom and Margaret’s worlds collide in electric, sometimes violent, ways, leaving readers wondering if they can find love together when the only people able to keep them apart are themselves. Both of them must learn when to fight and when to surrender to their desire, and both must also determine when to hold on to what’s been left, and when to let go and begin a brand new legacy.

Readers will appreciate the way the plot swerves early in the book, away from historical romance’s traditional love triangle angst and into a complex, character-driven climax. It’s easy to care about Tom and Margaret and their world, yet difficult to predict what will happen to them.”

You can read the entire review at the  Historical Novel Society website.


Historical Hookups Tour!

This week and next, I’ll be participating in a fun blog tour to celebrate the release of A Lady Most Lovely.  I’ll be joining four other Forever Romance authors who have recent releases as well.

For starters, readers voted on what kind of original scene they wanted to see from us. Here are the parameters they chose:
A young heiress heroine who is a mysterious brunette.
A titled gentleman hero whose usual expression is a dark scowl.
This couple has never met before.
The scene takes place in a bedroom.

Intrigued yet? I’ve listed the links to these fun scenes below, as well as the day they will appear.  Mine will appear on Thursday, October 10, on the Library Journal blog!

Starred Review for A Lady Most Lovely

A Lady Most Lovely has received a starred review from Publishers Weekly! Here is an excerpt from the review:

“Delamere follows An Heiress at Heart with an intense mid-Victorian Christmas story . . . Fans of inspirational romance will appreciate subtle references to Tom’s Christian faith and the lack of explicit sex scenes, and the undercurrent of attraction between Margaret and Tom is a powerful force that keeps the story moving.”
