PHENOMENAL read!!! I have a feeling I am going to run out of superlatives before I am through reading this entire series. I read the sixth book in the series first – because I received a review copy. I was so in awe of the writing, the story and the Moreland family in that book that I just had to go back and read all of the first books. Boy am I …
Intriguing!
When Stephen St. Leger hired Olivia Moreland to expose some charlatans that were taking advantage of his grieving mother, he never dreamed of all the mysteries they would uncover! This book is full of intrigue, deception, mystery, and heart-pounding adventure! Narrator Will Thorne does a wonderful job conveying the suspense in the …
Candace Camp has come through again for me with another great read! Mesmerized, kept me coming back for more romance and suspense of what will happen at the end. It was a who done it, oh no she didn’t and man, I better start sleeping with a bat. Once these 20/20’s see something travel through a wall and disappear. I wouldn’t stand there and ask …
This was my first reading experience with Candace Camp and all I can say is WOW! I loved the Moreland family. I love that society calls them the mad Morelands. I loved that the heroine runs a business, even though she is the daughter of a Duke, and that the business is to debunk fake mediums in London! Everything about this story was a surprise …
I really loved that even though it’s a historical fiction it felt like a romantic suspense but not too much romance it mixed just the right amount of historical mystery and romance to make it a good book.
Mesmerized by Candace Camp was a very enjoyable read. Olivia Moreland had set it upon herself to expose frauds that exploit people suffering the loss of a loved one. She attends seances in a effort to alert the people of this practice. However, she finds herself involved in something beyond her comprehension. Can these things be real? Are …
Great character development. Couldn’t put it down.
I loved the traditional romance mixed with the working to uncover the false medium and then the ghosts from the past. It was a pleasure to read.
Good character development no
I loved the premise of this book–investigating the paranormal and mediums in 1876–and I was looking forward to reading it. It started out great with Lord Stephen St. Leger meeting Lady Olivia Moreland during a seance. With his accusing her of being the medium’s assistant, Olivia sets the record straight when they are both escorted out of the …
I absolutely adored this book! It reminded me so much of the gothic mysteries of old with the Lady Olivia trying so very hard to prove that ghosts don’t exist but unfortunately for her and Stephen the current Lord of Blackhope they keep getting visited by the past inhabitants of the manor to solve an age old mystery. Plus they have to solve the …
Wow, this was quite different from the usual historical romance books that I read but I really enjoyed it! Olivia Moreland, a Duke’s daughter and part of the “Mad Morelands”, runs her own agency investigating and discrediting fake mediums. Lord Stephen St. Leger hires her to come to his home so that she can investigate the medium that his mother …
