Twins of the Twenties!


Scandal at the Speakeasy
and A Proposal for the Unwed Mother are now available in all formats, as well as in a two-book special price.

What readers are saying about these stories:

Scandal at the Speakeasy: Once again, Ms. Lauri Robinson has captured this avid reader's attention and held her spellbound with another fantastic story, one that takes place in 1927, during Prohibition. I love how she paints such a clear and concise picture that you feel like you are inside the story witnessing it unfold. She has strong characters, historical events, places, and slang for the time frame. I loved that there is a slow-evolving mystery, suspense, and eventually romance.

Lisa Walters isn't your average young lady—not by far. She is smart, innovative, enterprising, and loyal. She plans and executes those plans not just for herself but also for her entire community's betterment. But, she is a woman who has shelved her dreams, life hitting her hard, starting as a young girl and carrying on to the present. One man entering her underground speakeasy will shatter her plans and forever change the direction of her future.

Patrick "Mick" McCormick is a man who is on a mission, and that is to aid a dying friend. He has left New York and traveled to Junction, Missouri, to allow a man to see his daughter before death claims him. Knowing that she is to be a school teacher, he believes this will be easy, but he is in for a shock—and not everything is as it seems.

A Proposal for the Unwed Mother: Connor McCormick never knew what happened to the girl he loved, Jenny Sommers. When he finds her again, it’s a second chance for both of them, if they’re brave enough to trust each other.

Robinson has once again penned a great historical romance in A Proposal for the Unwed Mother. I loved Connor and Jenny’s relationship, and how they both acknowledged their feelings early on and worked to overcome the issues that had separated them and kept them apart. The inclusion of telephone installation and homes for unwed mothers as plot aspects was educational as well as adding a lot of interesting depth to the story. Historical details are really something Robinson is very good at including in her romances without them being overwhelming or detracting from the overall story. Even small details like clothing and dialogue are great at putting the reader into the story and setting. Historical readers cannot go wrong with Robinson’s books, and this story a great example of her talent.

 

My next releases will come in January and February with the Osterlund Family Saga. The first book is Marriage or Ruin for the Heiress, which is set during the 1930’s where the depression doesn’t stop Randal Osterlund from seeking his fortune by investing in airplanes—the only thing in his way is that he needs a wife to make it happen. Following that will be The Heiress and the Baby Boom. It’s set in the 1950’s, where Randi Osterlund is attempting to follow in her father’s footstep by building the family airplane business, the only thing in her way is an old flame, and then an unplanned pregnancy.

Currently, I’m trying my hand on a Victorian set romance. I’ll update you on that later.

Life around the home front has been busy with trips north, fun family events and birthdays and some sad end of life celebrations, but even in sadness there is joy.

Embrace every day!
