The Bird of Bedford Manor by Michelle Griep

The Bird of Bedford Manor
ABOUT THE BOOK

Bedfordshire, England, 1820: Ruined by the sins of her father, Juliet Finch is cast into a life of self-reliance. Survival is a harsh taskmaster, but she is a quick learner and excels at tracking and snaring wild game to feed herself. Juliet embraces her new identity until the day Henry Russell catches her poaching on his land--a crime punishable by death. Henry, however, has other offenses on his mind: namely, the troublesome stalker who's making a misery of his sister's life. To try to put a stop to her torment, Henry charges Juliet with tracking the elusive villain so he can be brought to justice. Using her skills, Juliet hunts down the rogue. . .but may just become the prey herself.
Reader favorite Michelle Griep has penned yet another masterpiece with this page-turning adventure that has it all:

  • swoon-worthy romance
  • clever turn-of-phrase
  • colorfully memorable characters
  • charming British setting






MY THOUGHTS.....

A female poacher, an English gentleman, his tormented sister, and an unknown stalker...I loved this new novel by Michelle Griep! She swept me back to early 19th-century England in this thrilling story that's both mystery and romance. They were separated by social class, but I loved the magnetic connection between Juliet and Henry. Her present circumstances may have hidden her former status, but Henry didn't doubt that Juliet was a lady. And Juliet couldn't ignore Henry either!

Griep cleverly left a trail of deceptive clues in Juliet and Henry's frantic search for his sister Charity. Twists and turns kept me turning the pages, and the reveal of the villain's identity was like the finale of a fine-tuned symphony! And then the story's ending...oh, my!

I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy mesmerizing romance, intriguing suspense, and inspiring faith journeys. The Bird of Bedford Manor is Regency fiction at its best, and I would give it more than 5 stars, if I could!

I received a complimentary copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars




















ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write fiction. I chose the latter. Way cheaper. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I seek to glorify God in all that I write...except for that graffiti phase I went through as a teenager. Oops. Did I say that out loud?
