Voted #27 Romantic ebook Must Reads by Goodreads readers Voted #1 Surprising Good Books by Goodreads readers I APPROVE! LOLĪlrighty then, clearly you know what I love, let’s get to the stories so you can determine if you’ll love too! 🙂 I should also mention that this is the first historical romance series that I have read that chooses America as it’s setting in this era. I was picturing “Gone With the Wind” and “North and South” in my mind so many times. Anything to do with the American Civil War fascinates me and draws me in. HELLO PRE CIVIL WAR! It was incredible to read real life incidents, and places and how they are weaved into a fictional story. Different tradition and rules, cultures, races, the way one speaks and the best part … REAL FACTS and snippets of history that have always fascinated me. The setting for all these book is … AMERICA. The tradition is stingy and sharp (which don’t get me wrong I love), but most is predictable! Well in comes Becky Lower and introduces this era (mid 1800’s) and mixes it up a bit. Most Historical Romances are set in England, consist of a Lord, Duke, Rake and some Lady or Duchess. Cotillion Ball Series by Becky Lower – Combined ReviewsĤ.5 out of 5 for all 3 books for this reader folks! 🙂īefore I get into any of the meaty bits of this review, I would like to say this series is a breath of fresh air for a historical romance lover like me.
