Review of Bonjour Agent by Fabergé Eastern

-



I loved this clean historical mystery/romance. Bonjour Agent by Fabergé Eastern is set in England during the time France is nearing the end of its revolution and European nations are wary of Napoleon. 

It’s filled with rich descriptions of both characters and settings that will transport you into the action—and it is filled with action. 


The main characters are Sebastian, a confirmed bachelor and agent of the crown, and Francesca, the lively and charismatic only child of Lord Grey who has no interest in the dull life most of her peers have in matrimony. Follow their journey to find mystery, intrigue, and just enough whimsy that the heavier parts never get too overwhelming. 


This book is in an older style. To me, it is reminiscent of The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness d'Orczy. Because of this style, it is longer than most contemporary novels and can seem wordy in some sections. Don't let this deter you. It is a fun read. There is just a hint of faith in it but the main characters are clearly driven by their faith.


You can purchase Bonjour Agent on Amazon here.


Synopsis:

The intrepid Francesca Grey is always up for adventure. Spotting an agent for the crown comes as easily to her as deciphering his instructions. Brace yourself for the whirlwind romance that blossoms between Francesca and Sebastian. Because for these unlikely allies, nothing promotes romance like solving riddles, exchanging prose, and saving the realm at any cost.

Sebastian Buckingham must navigate his mission with care, because appearances deceive, and firearms may carry live rounds. To prevail in the game of high treason, it takes more than just trick questions and witty banter to survive. The agent will require courage and a keen eye to recognize the partner he needs in Francesca, with her faultless instincts.

Joined by the charming William Wordsworth, a man who promotes romance in every situation, Francesca and Sebastian must capture an informant endangering England. Get ready for a heart-pounding adventure filled with espionage and high society drama as these two patriots fight to protect what they hold most dear … each other.

Did you enjoy Shakespeare's Twelth Night, or Georgette Heyer's Masqueraders? Then you'll love Bonjour Agent inspired by the shenanigan's of both heroines. This is a clean romance of the traditional style set in the late 18th century.

Review of The Designated Valentine by Drew Taylor

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In The Designated Valentine Drew Taylor weaves past and present together to gradually reveal how Karoline and Mason went from long time best friends to enemies to love. This is a sweet, clean romantic comedy that doesn’t overdo the comedy and only contains kissing, though it does discuss the battle with attraction the main characters have and how they want to be careful because of their faith. Drew includes a warning at the beginning of the book that there is also some mention of alcohol as this book deals with a past addiction. Drinking is not promoted. Both Karoline and Mason think they’ve matured since they last spoke three years before, but they still have room to grow and as a reader I enjoyed my front row seat to see that growth. It’s a great representation of the battles we often face in relationships of all kinds — some from our misperceptions of who we are because of things people in our lives have said or done, and some because we struggle to forgive thinking the o

Learning to Forgive

The old man creeps down the street in his truck and I fuss. Doesn't he know people are in a hurry? I get distracted and pull out in front of someone, causing them to honk their horn. Good grief, can't they be patient? It's funny how we expect others to forgive us, but we get angry about the very same things with others.  The previous examples were just everyday situations with no long term consequences, but what if someone wrongs us in a way that is more serious? We may put it behind us, but can we forgive them? What if they have harmed us or someone we love? Would we be able to follow the words of Luke 6?  Luke 6:35, 37-38 ESV - 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. ... 37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be

Bringing Christ to Christmas Gift Giving

-

What better way to put Christ back into Christmas than to give Christ centered gifts! When our first child had his first Christmas we decided to give only 3 gifts as a reminder that Jesus received 3 gifts from the wisemen. Each gift had a category: want, need, and spiritual. As the children have gotten older and are adults, the want and need often overlap.  There have been so many benefits from this. Limiting the gifts has been great at keeping the focus more on Christ. Rather than spending this season figuring out what they want, our children's focus has been freed up for other things. They are actually often at a loss, because gifts for themselves are not their top priority. It has been a benefit for us as parents, not just financially, because we don't have to stress out about getting them the perfect gift.  Another special benefit is getting to search for something to help them in their spiritual walk. Through the years the availability of Christ centered things has grown a
