About the Book

Once London’s top thief, Barclay Pearce has turned his back on his life of crime and now uses his skills for a nation at war. But not until he rescues a clockmaker’s daughter from a mugging does he begin to wonder what his future might hold.

Evelina Manning has constantly fought for independence but she certainly never meant for it to inspire her fiancé to end the engagement and enlist in the army. When the intriguing man who saved her returns to the Manning residence to study clockwork repair with her father, she can’t help being interested. But she soon learns that nothing with Barclay Pearce is as simple as it seems.

As 1915 England plunges ever deeper into war, the work of an ingenious clockmaker may give England an unbeatable military edge—and Germany realizes it as well. Evelina’s father soon finds his whole family in danger—and it may just take a reformed thief to steal the time they need to escape it.

I don't know about you, but any book that has Dan Stevens as the inspiration for the hero...I kind of fall in love with! I can't WAIT for Barclay's book. (The Thorn Keeper is just ONE example of several)

Top Ten Tuesday - Cover Love - Valentine's Edition

Today the topic for TTT from That Artsy Reader Girl is a romance freebie! So, I get to gush about my FAVORITE book covers! Eeeep! Most of you know that I pretty much stick to only Christian Romance (unless recommended by someone I trust). So all these books are CLEAN...even if things do get a little steamy! Heartless is not a Christian book...but it is YA and is clean.

I was debating giving you my top ten favorite romance books...But pretty sure I have given you those before. I decided to go with "Valentine's" looking covers...So...red, pink, purple, and swoon worthy....Not only are the covers exquisite, but all ten of these stories are among my favorite books! 

Have you read any of these books? What is your favorite romance?

The Lost Castle - Kristy Cambron

My Rating

★★★★★★ - Heaven help me, you taste like Christmas! (More Info)

About the Book

A thirteenth century castle, Château de Doux Rêves, has been forgotten for generations, left to ruin in a storybook forest nestled deep in France’s picturesque Loire Valley...

Ellie Carver arrives at her grandmother’s bedside expecting to find her silently slipping away. Instead, the beloved old woman begins speaking. Of a secret past and castle ruins forgotten by time. Of a hidden chapel that served as a rendezvous for the French resistance in World War II. Of lost love and deep regret . . .

Each piece that unlocks the story seems to unlock part of Ellie too—where she came from and who she is becoming. But her grandmother is quickly disappearing into the shadows of Alzheimer’s and Ellie must act fast if she wants to uncover the truth of her family’s history. Drawn by the mystery surrounding The Sleeping Beauty—a forgotten castle so named for Charles Perrault’s beloved fairy tale—Ellie embarks on a journey to France’s Loire Valley in hopes that she can unearth its secrets before time silences them forever.
