Excellent Book

I'm glad to see the story continue with Kit and Jackson in this adventure. I remember Kit from the previous book and how street smart she is. Who would of thought that we would be witness the marriage between the feisty Kit and Detective Jackson. But not all is easy going as these two seem to find trouble. At the start of the book we can get a feel of how the story will go. Kit never backs down and her determination could cause problems for her and Jackson. Kit and Jackson are gearing up for their big day, but Kit has a surprise in store that she thinks will be a great wedding present. I'm not sure she was thinking clearly when she set out that morning of her wedding , but if you know Kit nothing will stop her. I did like meeting Jackson's brother and finding out what happened to him. Kit has such a big heart for him that she wants to find justice for him. The excitement grows as Kit finds herself in a little bit of a predicament. The author does a very good job of letting readers feel Kit's fear as she tries to remove herself from danger. Because of Kit's actions she may have lost the man she loves. On her wedding day she goes off to solve a case which to some seem irresponsible. How will Jackson feel when he finds out why Kit didn't show up for their wedding? Kit's father doesn't hold anything back as he confronts her and points out that her pride may cause her to lose Jackson. I think I heard Kit gasp at those words. Has there been a time when you let pride interfere with doing what was right? The story delivers a few surprises that had me turning the pages as fast as I could. What Kit finds while she is trapped in a building will cause an avalanche of hurt and answers that have long been hidden. I loved how the author shows how important communication is in any relationship as Kit and Jackson try to get past their argument. The theme of trust and forgiveness is shown in the story by characters who must decide if they will swallow their pride and allow their hears to be softened. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

London Intrigue

Fantastic Regency story from a different part of London! * Pride preserves yourself, humility preserves your relationship.* But stubbornness is a trait that both Kit and Jackson show in abundance. Plenty of dodgy things get in the way of their rapidly approaching nuptials. Kit is as plucky and resourceful as ever and Jackson is totally absorbed in his job as an Inspector. They are both stubborn to a fault and do not heed the advice of their older and wiser relatives. I wanted to sit them down and give them a real lecture. Kit is street savvy but manages to land in trouble numerous times. This book has more twists and turns than the sewers under London that Kit and Jackson are familiar with. Explosive situations arise, testing their mettle and putting their upcoming wedding in jeopardy. Ms. Griep takes us to the seedier side of London with a decades old mystery to solve and lessons to be learned about life, love, faith and a reliance on God. I am hoping for more adventures with Kit and Jackson in the future. * I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour on behalf of the author. I was not required to give a favorable review. All opinions are my own.*

Good Historical Story

The Bride of Blackfriars Lane is written by Michelle Greip. This is the second book in the Blackfriars Lane series. I always love reading this authors work. She always draws you in within the first few pages. We return back to see Detective Jackson Forge and Kit Turner. They are deeply in love and ready to get married. The book is set in London in 1885. These two are such opposites and have flaws and that is why they are so likeable. Kit has a sharp tongue and Jackson is so set in his ways. Kit and Jackson have some investigations they want to solve for the other. However things don't go as planned. Kit ends up unintentionally hurting and humiliating Jackson. Jackson is highly embarrassed and calls the wedding off. However he does want to solve Kit's mothers murder. This book has romance, mystery and adventure. The author has crafted such a wonderful story. The historic setting feels realistic. The book is well written and the characters are well developed. Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this story. All thoughts are my own.
