Today's post is a little different because it's about a series I haven't read, but want to feature because I've enjoyed Linda's Cozy Mystery Amelia Moore series which ended with Amelia Moore #7 The Lighthouse Secret by Linda Weaver Clarke (Audiobook, Cozy Mystery, 9/10E)
So I hope you check out these and the historical romance books after hearing about them below from Linda!
Historical Romance: Stories of Rebels,
Adventure, and Mystery
 |
| Here's Linda! |
My favorite time period
is historical because it’s during a time when
men defended a lady’s honor and treated women with respect. The
women, on the other hand, were not frail by any means. I love strong
women characters who fight for what they believe. I enjoy
writing stories with a mixture of romance and adventure. My favorite
loves stories are about a couple who know they are meant for one
another, even though there are trials along the way.
The
Rebel Series is a Historical Mystery/Adventure Romance set in the
1700s. Many people have asked me why I wrote a story about rebels.
Simple! I love a rogue who fights for justice and for the people. It
was a bunch of rebels who fought for their freedom in America. They
wanted to be free from the dictatorship of a king. How about Robin
Hood? He and a bunch of men did the same thing as they helped the
needy and poor. Liberty is something that I cherish. So
I decided to write about a small country that struggles to be free.
THE
REBELS OF CORDOVIA: “This creative take on a Robin Hood-like
story is charming and touching, and teaches some great morals about
agency and choice. It reminded me of childhood fairytales of good
versus evil, with a nice romance weaved into it.” --Author
Charissa Stastny
In The Rebels of
Cordovia, Robin’s Rebels realize they must fight against the
tyranny of a wicked king and help the people survive the oppression.
In this battle for freedom, a tender love story begins to blossom.
Daniel, a rogue and a leader of the Freemen, doesn’t realize that
the sweet feminine woman he has met and is falling for happens to be
the leader of Robin’s Rebels. Realizing the importance of uniting
all the rebel groups, Daniel tries to recruit Robin’s Rebels but
they refuse. Now he has to find a way to convince them. When he finds
out the leader is actually a woman, what will his reaction be?

THE
HIGHWAYMAN OF CORDOVIA: “Austin
and Christine had been friends, as youth, and separated through the
years. As their paths cross again after many years, things spark up
between them. Yet their lives do not appear to be headed in the same
direction. The twists and turns will keep you turning the pages.”
--Sunnie Reivews
In book 2, The
Highwayman of Cordovia, the people enjoy their new-found liberty,
but all is not well. A group of powerful men plan to take over the
small country and replace the leader with a king. With the help of a
bold highwayman and a pastor’s daughter, they try to save their
country from being taken over by a power-hungry leader. As they
strive to stop the Kingmen and thwart their plans, Christine finds
herself falling in love with Austin Knight. The only problem with
their relationship is that she thinks he is her knight in shining
armor instead of a highwayman. If she finds out his trade, what will
her reaction be? As a pastor’s daughter, will love override her
values?

I love research. When I
did some research about the “waltz” for The Highwayman of
Cordovia, I was surprised at what I found. The peasants were the
first to dance the waltz. It was such fun that bored noblemen would
sneak out and go to the country-dances. The Oxford English
Dictionary back then called the waltz “riotous and indecent.”
In a 1771 German novel,
someone complains about the “newly-introduced waltz” among the
aristocrats. He wrote: “When he put his arm around her, pressed her
to his breast, cavorted with her in the shameless, indecent
whirling-dance of the Germans and engaged in a familiarity that broke
all the bounds of good breeding—then my silent misery turned into
burning rage.” I was so intrigued by this description. The waltz
finally became fashionable when the wife of a Russian
ambassador endorsed it.
