A Stunning Edition of a Favorite Book! --"Blackmoore"-Deluxe Edition by Julianne Donaldson--Feature and Review

 From Julianne Donaldson—the #1 all-time best-selling Proper Romance author—comes a deluxe edition of Blackmoore, which includes a never-before-published bonus chapter.

My Review: 

"Blackmoore,” the Deluxe Edition, by Julianne Donaldson is such a stunning keepsake! Readers will love returning to this beloved book that includes new features, a never-before-published bonus chapter (which brought tears to my eyes), sprayed edges, and a stunning cover! This will be prominently displayed on my bookshelves. This is one of my all-time favorite books. I thoroughly enjoyed my re-read of this wonderful story! Here is what I wrote when I first read “Blackmoore” in 2017: The story itself is so beautiful! I could not put this book down. I can see how this book has hints of “Wuthering Heights” and “Little Women” (two stories which I love, so of course this book was perfect). The story is very deep and the writing beautiful. There are some great themes interwoven into the story. I could feel myself on the moors on a cliff by the sea--what a perfect setting. It is very romantic as well with the perfect hero. This book is hauntingly beautiful and is one of my new favorites!

I will always recommend this amazing and beautiful book, and the Deluxe Edition is perfect for new and old fans alike!

Blackmoore, Deluxe Edition bonus content:

—New additional chapter, “Return to Blackmoore,” set in the modern world. Readers get the real ending to Henry and Kate’s love story.

Content: I give this book a PG rating. Some examples of the content: manipulative family members; an animal is hurt and dies; rumors of ghosts; a married woman is possibly having an affair.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

 

 

A Gorgeous Edition of a Beloved Book! --"Edenbrooke"-Deluxe Edition by Julianne Donaldson--Feature and Review

 

Return to Edenbrooke in this deluxe edition of the #1 all-time best-selling Proper Romance, which includes never-before-shared annotations from beloved romance author Julianne Donaldson.

My Review: 

"Edenbrooke,” the Deluxe Edition, by Julianne Donaldson is such a gorgeous keepsake! Readers will love returning to this beloved book that includes new features, such as annotations from the author, sprayed edges, and a stunning cover! This will be prominently displayed on my bookshelves. I thoroughly enjoyed my re-read of this delightful, witty, and humorous story and was again reminded of why I and so many others love this story. Our heroine, Marianne Daventry, loves to twirl and wants to learn fencing and archery and be different from her seemingly perfect twin sister. She is stubborn, feisty and struggles with feeling like she needs to be socially acceptable. Marianne learns she needs to be true to herself. She meets a handsome stranger (swoon alert!). She travels to a country estate with a glorious library, while dealing with highwaymen and love on the way. Will she find a reason to twirl again? I love the sweet and honest relationship between Phillip and Marianne. Phillip brings out the best in her. Each is afraid that they will be loved by their misfortunes or possessions, instead of for themselves. They want to feel accepted and esteemed. I absolutely loved the special annotations throughout, which really added a whole new experience while reading the book. I highly recommend this book and special edition for lovers of sweet, clean Regency romance!

Edenbrooke, Deluxe Edition bonus content:

—Prequel novelette, “Heir to Edenbrooke”

—Introduction and inside look on how the author wrote the book, with over 100 annotations and author notes

—Actual music to the “Milkmaid Song”

Content: I give this book a PG rating. Some examples of the content: mention of gambling; kidnapping; a man threatens to ruin a woman.

TW: loss; grief; parental abandonment; unwanted kiss.
