About the Book

The Continuing Adventure of Jackson and Kit!

 

Detective Jackson Forge can hardly wait to marry the street-sly swindler who’s turned his life upside down. Kit Turner is equally excited to wed the handsome detective, and what better way to show her love than providing him with a gift any man of the law would love? She determines to bring to justice the men who years ago maimed his brother—despite Jackson’s warning to leave the past in the past. As she digs into the mystery of what happened, she unwittingly tumbles into her own history and endangers her future happiness with Jackson.

My Thoughts

I love Michelle Griep’s books. They are always adventurous and fun and immersive. Her Kit and Jackson novels are among my favorites. I love this dynamic detective duo and reading about their impending wedding was pure entertainment.

Kit is my favorite type of heroine. She’s intelligent (in unconventional ways) and she’s tough and she really doesn’t care what others think of her. Yet we see a loving, caring side to her when it comes to Jackson, his father, and his brother. Reading about her adventures and mishaps was so much fun and I had a blast revisiting this character. And Jackson is just a beguiling hero. He’s gallant and supportive and the love he has for Kit is palpable. They’re the perfect pair and I love reading about them!

Griep is the queen of bringing Victorian London to life in her books. The soot stained cobble stone streets fill your mind as you read, and her style harkens back to Dickens.

Lovers of adventurous Christian historical romance will want to run, not walk, to the bookstore and snag a copy of The Bride of Blackfriars Lane!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
