Starling

Delightful, delicious, warm and witty – these are some of the words that come to mind after reading Ms Taylor’s book, Starling. There were twists and turns within a well plotted well considered story that includes a cast of characters that were all fun except for one. And, there always must be at least one villain in a love story, right?

Alasdair made assumptions about Starling when he hired her to pose as his wife for two weeks and his assumptions manage to cause trouble throughout the novel – trouble for both Starling and himself. He has provided plenty of money, a cushy place to stay and almost all that a poor woman might wish to have but it may not prove to be enough. When the “love of his life” shows up to throw a wrench into his plans the game changes from what he thought it would be to something else entirely.

If you like a well written historical romance with attractive characters filled with strength of will and along with a cast of supporting characters that add depth to the story then this is a book I can highly recommend.

Thank you to Kensington Books for giving me this book through NetGalley to read and review.
