Sarah M. Eden British Isles Collection

GIVEAWAY
RANDOM RETRO READ DAY
EDEN, SARAH M.
BRITISH ISLES COLLECTION

The Sarah M. Eden British Isles Collection contains two brand new historical romance novellas. A Friend Indeed and A Happy Beginnings, as well as four hand-picked readers' and reviewer' favorites of Sarah's popular Timeless Romance Anthology novellas. Readers will love this selection of six historical romance novellas set in the British Isles.

My Review:

published in 2015

I'm a brand spanking new Sarah M. Eden fan so all of these novellas were new to me but if you've been following her for a while please note that four out of the six stories are from previous anthologies -- Winter Collection, Silver Bells Collection, Regency Collection and European Collection. 

I'm still tizzy-giddy over these stories! So many happily ever afters! All that wicked banter! And the toe-curling swoons!!!! My fainting couch got quite the workout. Eden is a talented storyteller who delivers every single time. I mean, stupendously delivers everything I adore in a historical romance. And, even though they are set in the Victorian era there is a very distinctive Regency-esque flavour to them. And, if that doesn't knock your avid-reader socks off -- two of the stories take place in Ireland!!!! Plus there's a wee bit o' Christmas in these pages as well. It really doesn't get any better than this!

I listened to the audible version which was divinely narrated. I especially enjoyed Mary Jane Wells but all the narrations were brilliant!

Sidenote: While not a Christian Fiction selection, this is a clean read.

  1. I'm so happy you've discovered Sarah and her books! She's one of my favorites! I love the Timeless Romance Anthologies because they always have one by her and one by another favorite, Heather B. Moore. I bet you'd enjoy Heather's Pine Valley series!

    1. I have you and a couple of other Good Reads reviewers to thank for introducing me to Sarah M. Eden, Heidi! Love that you are paving the way for me when it comes to clean romantic reads. :-) Thanks for the Heather B. Moore recommendations. Audible has quite a lot of her books -- including the Pine Valley series. Eeep! Good luck!

  2. She is one of my favorite authors, but I confess, I haven't read all of the anthologies, thus I haven't read all of her novellas yet. Her books on the other hand? LOVE them and have devoured them all!! I agree with Heidi, Heather's books are great as well. Thanks for the fun giveaway Kav.

    1. This is just my second one but I'll be reading more -- well, listening more. I love listening to Regency/Victorian books with a British narrator. Increases the swoon factor that much more. Good luck, Kim!

  9. I read this one too!! I was patter-twitted, glabberfasted, left breathless from laughing, and generally giddy from all the Regency/Victorian settings! See, I even got my words all mixed up because this is such a fun collection 😂

    Sarah Eden is my go-to clean Regency story teller!

    1. Bwahahaha! You are discombobulated, aren't you? Sarah Eden books have the tendency to do that, I've discovered. Good luck, Trixi.

    2. I'm not entering for this as I've read it already :-)

      But yes, Sarah Edens books do tend to mix a person up...lol!

  13. I've never read anything by this author before but I know I have her on my TBR list. Maybe I'll get started on some of her Christmas stories to get into the Christmas Spirit.
