Victoria & Violet, The Royal Maids, Bk 1

 

It should be a dream come true to serve the Queen of England…

About the Book: When Violet Parker is told she will be Queen Victoria’s personal housemaid, she cannot believe her good fortune. She finally has the chance to escape her overbearing mother, a servant to the Duchess of Kent. Violet hopes to explore who she is and what the world has to offer without her mother’s schemes overshadowing her every thought and action.

Then she meets James Greene, assistant to the queen’s chief political adviser, Lord Melbourne. From entirely different backgrounds and social class, Violet and James should have neither need nor desire to speak to one another, yet through their service, their paths cross and their lives merge—as do their feelings.

Victoria’s court is not always the place for romance, but rather secrets, scandals, and conspiracies…

Our Review: Rachel Brimble is known for her lush descriptions of both setting and characters right down to their innermost hopes, dreams and plans. In Victoria & Violet the author brings all of that and more for the reader, this time adding an in-depth portrayal of fears and hesitancies carried by adult survivors of abuse and neglect. Well done!

On a scale of 1-5, Victoria & Violet deserves a 7.

 Our Review: Author Trout again proves her unique talent for describing small town life, right down to dialogue unique to the rural Ozarks. Additionally, this follow-up to the first book in her Rock Ledge series, showcases her ability to bring suspense and intense emotion to the reader. This is a true page turner.
