Today is release day for the first book (Lady Mary's Dangerous Encounter) in my new Beresford Adventure series for Dragonblade’s Legends line, and I can’t remember when readers have been as enthusiastic over one of my books in my 23-year career as a published writer. Here’s what some of the early reviewers have had to say:
It is absolutely one of the best books I have read this year.--Nanna
The perfect book—AnnMarie Spiby
Wow, just Wow !! This is the first story in the new series " The Beresford Adventures." If all the books are as wonderful of this one. I can't wait for book two.—Nanna
Adventure + Suspense + Romance = a trifecta--Jean Hanson
Ms. Bolen has written a unique and entertaining story. It's far from the glittering ballrooms of the ton.—Debra Martin
This is the first book in a new series and I will definitely be reading any more that are to come.—Petula
This story has it all: mystery, spies, assassins, adventure, intrigue, and romance. Well-defined characters, plot, imagery, great world building, and detailed.—Tina Ullrich
A solid romance with a satisfying HEA, alongside an almost gothic literary style that is rarely found in romances.—Viper Spaulding
You can read a short excerpt from Lady Mary’s Dangerous Encounter here.
This is the plot summary:
Lord Stephen Stanhope, a duke’s diplomat son who’s traveling to the Congress of Vienna, agrees to protect his friend’s wayward sister on Stephen’s journey to Austria. Lady Mary Beresford has impetuously set off on her own for Vienna. Vexed with the headstrong woman he’s yet to meet, Stephen despairs of ever catching up with the maddening lady. They eventually meet at an inn in the Alps, where the guests’ progress has been impeded by two matters: a blizzard—and Lady Mary’s refusal to leave until she’s found an elderly fellow traveler who has disappeared.
Mary’s infuriated that everyone at the inn is in a conspiracy to deny the woman ever existed and to imply Mary invented her. Just when every person at the inn is against her, the handsome Lord Stephen arrives and becomes her champion.
Stephen doesn’t tell her he’s been sent by her brother, nor does he actually believe her preposterous story. Until there’s an attempt on her life. . .
