Nádherné, silné, nepopsatelné. Já prostě nemám slov. Doufám, že se mi podaří napsat recenzi, protože mě tato kniha doopravdy dostala. Meg a její věrné přátelství vůči Anně. A samozřejmě samotná Anna Boleynová a její tragický konec. A vlastně celý závěr. Ne, celá kniha od prologu po závěrečný rozh...
This series is really impressing me. Byrd has created characters that feel totally real and situations that are believable. I even think I enjoyed this second book more than the first. Lexi is now in France and living a life-long dream to become a true French chef. Along the way she realizes ...
Similarly to my opinion of the second book in this series, my opinion of this book is probably influenced by how much I identify with the main character. Not that I ever had a French man and an American man vying for my attentions or started a wedding cake business-- but the going overseas, spea...
This the third book in the series. I listened to others on audiobook, which was helpful in hearing the french words pronounced correctly. When I read this one I could still hear the reader's voice in my head. Overall it is a lighthearted book on love and pursuing your dreams. Lexi's dilemmas are ...
My ReviewOooooh-la-la, what a DELICIOUS book!!! I didn’t know what to expect with the word cake in the title, but I was NOT disappointed with this treat at all. Alexandra “Lexi” Stuart is quietly working at a company translating labels, but gets fired since she doesn’t work fast enough to make he...
Blackwood alerted me that a guest was coming to stay with Captain Whitfield, and would I please join them for dinner? I agreed. It must have been the person he’d mentioned in the stables. Perhaps it was someone local who knew my mother or my father. But why was Captain Whitfield eager that I shou...
I scooped a bowl of chocolate brownie delight for myself and took it back to my room. Might as well look at some of the Asking for Trouble letters, I thought. And tidy up a few things to give to Natalie tomorrow. I’d put together a big packet of information on Be@titude, p...
Lord Howard of Effingham, one of the queen’s many cousins, the lord admiral of her navy, and a quiet Catholic, gave her a beautiful amulet of a phoenix emerging from a bed of ashes. Inside were eleven jeweled letters: Semper Eadem. Always the Same. It was a particularly touching gift, as semper e...
“Thanks, everybody,” Jack said. “I’ll take the votes and tally them. After I’ve had a chance to talk with both candidates, I’ll make a general announcement.” At lunch Hazelle was not at the newspaper table, and neither was Jack. I sat with Penny because I couldn’t stand th...
Like them, my very life might depend upon going unnoticed. So I took care. I could not climb the back stairs this time, as it did not communicate with the storage attic. I went to the main staircase and very carefully took each tread silently, slowly. Once there, I tugged on the rope that dropped...
