MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love Christian Suspense novels but I also adore Historical Fiction. What more could I ask than a historical suspense novel, especially one with a Regency English setting. For those very reasons Michelle Griep has become one of my favorite authors and her Blackfriars Lane series meets the criteria.<\/p>\n

The Bride of Blackfriars Lane<\/em> takes up where The Thief of Blackfriars Lane<\/em> leaves off with Kit and Jackson just days from their wedding. Needless to say, I didn’t get very far into the book before the prospects of a wedding taking place on time, if at all, looked pretty bleak. The plot moved along at a mostly steady pace and was filled with disagreements, danger, rescues, suspense, and plenty of twists and surprises.<\/p>\n

I loved the genuine relationship between Jackson and Kit, complete with arguments and reconciliations. The narrative had a strong focus on deception and truth and the importance of depending on the Lord.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bride of Blackfriars Lane<\/em> was another wonderful book from this author but I’ll leave it to the readers to discover for themselves how everything turns out.<\/p>\n

Detective Jackson Forge can hardly wait to marry the street-sly swindler who\u2019s 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\u2014despite Jackson\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

MORE FROM MICHELLE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whenever I skip across the pond, I make it a point to stop at the Borough Market for some great meals. This area was\u2014and is\u2014a popular place to shop and an absolute must-see for food lovers. From grocers, fishmongers, cheese sellers, and butchers to all kinds of ethnic eats, it\u2019s hard not to want to sample everything. My personal favorite are the buddha bowls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Believe it or not, Borough market has been in operation for the past thousand years. Yes, you read that correctly. It actually began as a bridge, constructed in 990. But let\u2019s fast forward to the Victorian era, shall we?<\/p>\n

In the nineteenth century, a railway viaduct was constructed through the middle of the market, which brought in more people\u2014but also brought in more noise, soot, disruption, and crime. In such a hotbed of activity, it\u2019s easy to imagine cutpurses and pickpockets of all sorts.<\/p>\n

\"\"And that\u2019s the perfect scene for a certain con-artist turned investigator to meet with an informant. In The Bride of Blackfriars Lane<\/em><\/a>, Kit Turner is up to her old shenanigans, much to Jackson\u2019s chagrin. You can visit Borough Market along with her in this wild ride through Victorian London. It\u2019s just one of the many stops in a city that never gets old.<\/p>\n
