Prince in the Mist

(Prince-Legend)

Claudy Conn

Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Family Saga > Fantasy > Fairy Tales

Indie Writer (Self-published)

I thought I'd feature another Claudy Conn ... she always proves a fairly enjoyable, but undemanding read.  For a change she's gone all Fae with this one:

Fact one: By tradition and treaty, Fae do not interfere with the human world—it is against the rules.

Fact two: For a Royal Fae prince who suffers from the ennui of immortality, watching and interacting with humans—especially lovely, spirited human females—can be entertaining.

Fact three: When entertainment changes to affection, and affection becomes love, rules will be broken.

His name is Breslyn, Prince of Dagda of the Tuatha Dé. He is a royal Fae, immortal and endowed with more than eye candy looks. He is a being with immeasurable powers but life for him lacked something—so he looked around, and found...humans.

Watching their lives and interactions, from another dimension filled him with feelings he had thought long lost in the ennui of immortality. The more he watched--the more addicted to their antics he became. An affection for the human race grew inside the heart Fae are not supposed to have, and it was inevitable that he began to have preferences with regards to them.

In 1314, when Scotland’s rule was in jeopardy and the British were about to take more than they should, he chose a side--and then he saw her, and nothing would ever be the same for the prince ever again…

In truth, it's only a Novella, so it won't take much time to read.  If you fancy it click HERE to download whilst it's free.

I downloaded my copy, but it will take me a good long time to get to it .... I just found out that apart from the large pile of books (paper and ebook) I already have, there are apparently another 11 on the way to me.

I'm additionally working out arrangements with an Author we've featured/Reviewed before for our first giveaway of his second novel - so watch this space for news.  We're also going to be featuring an interview with him shortly.

On Amazon today my rating is (static) 3,740. I suppose that I'm still heading in the right direction, but very slowly now. I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' some day ....... so if you find the Daily Kindle Downloads info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback  on some of my reviews (which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks).

#367 - Taffeta and Hotspur

Taffeta and Hotspur

Claudy Conn

Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Historical > Romance

Indie Writer (Self-published)

Description:

Lord Thurston Tarrant, known as Hotspur on the London social scene, thinks Lady Taffeta Grantham is too young and idealistic. Experience has taught him that love is found only in fairy tales and that very few women can be trusted—especially young and attractive ones.

As for Taffy, she finds the rakehell cynical and arrogant—definitely not the hero, the man of principles and romance, her heart longs for. Besides, as one of the Rogues Three, she is more concerned with social injustice than a man who could use his influence to right wrongs but shows no interest in doing so.

So why does Tarrant find himself enchanted by the beautiful and high-spirited Taffy? Why does Taffy’s sporadic gift of sight insist on showing her visions of Tarrant as a bold and passionate lover—her lover?

When the prince of flirts catches the princess of thieves in a ‘Robin Hood’ encounter gone wrong, a secret is discovered, a promise is given, and two lives will be changed in ways neither could have dreamed.

Summary/thoughts:

I don't know what it is about Claudy Conn's work, I always feel that I don't (or shouldn't) like it, but then go on to have a thoroughly enjoyable read.

I think it may be that sometimes they feel a little research light, and it's sometimes possible to find etiquette errors, or little details that just a little uncomfortable, but can be overlooked in the context of the whole work.

It was the same with the offering - which I confess I'd read before on my Mother's Kindle.

Taffeta came across as a perky, full of the right stuff and game for a laugh heroine.  Although her brother and uncle felt a little wet for my taste.

The Hotspur created the impression of being just that hot and dark .... just the way I like them.

Rating:

Giving it a bit of consideration I think this particular guilty pleasure should be rated 4 stars.

Errors/Bug Bears:

19% - "Tarrant didn't allowed the boy to finish...".  Allow.

38% - getting into a carriage with the Hotspur would have ruined Taffeta.  This is a perfect example of my comment above about etiquette errors, as a Lady would have required a chaperone to be with anyone other than a close relative without suffering ruination.

A little comment on the cover, at the beginning of the book Tafetta has a dream about a the Hero with long hair.  The cover appears to have shorn locks, it would be nice to see consistency with the character description, but that's just a personal view.

Lady Bess ~ Claudy Conn

Kindle Store > Books > Historical > Romance

Indie Writer (Self-published)

Edited by:  Karen Babcock

I know that not everyone loves Historical Romances, but I just fancied this one ...... I will try to find something more vampric or fantasy orientated for tomorrow I promise.  For now though, this one looks interesting (not sure about the cover):

Bess Saunders has fallen in love. He is big, he is charmingly masculine, and his Scottish accent sends her reeling with very unmaiden-like desires.

Having inherited his mother’s English home and title, Earl of Dunkirk of Scotland is considered a prize catch by the haute ton. He knows one day he will have to marry to carry on his name, but he wants a wife who ‘understands’ they will each go their own way after she gives him an heir—a marriage of convenience. 

Lady Bess does not fit into those plans. How could she? She is exquisite, yes, but she is also an innocent who expects faithfulness. He won’t ruin an innocent, and yet, he can’t get her out of his head. 

All this time, and right in their midst, evil hovers. Although Bess doesn’t look for it, she finds it—and Bess is not your average, simpering female. She takes on danger and mayhem like she does everything else: full throttle.

Adventure ensues as we travel with Bess through romance and the battle of her life.

It's a another new release,and therefore there aren't any reviews.  You can find it available as a free download HERE .

On Amazon today my rating has slipped a place to 6,615 (<) - although I should not really complain as overall I am heading in the right direction.  I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' some day .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.
