False Pretences 5* Review by a Famous Author

I am delighted with best-selling historical romance novelist, Maggi Anderson’s review of False Pretences.

 Five Star review.

A Delicious Romp

By Maggi Andersen on July 11, 2016

“I enjoy the historical accuracy in Rosemary Morris' novels. This one is no exception, the exquisite details are a delight. Feisty, adventurous heroine, Annabelle Allan, yearns to discover who her guardian is. With only a dim memory of a French lady who left her at Beeches, a school for young ladies, Annabelle runs away when she is told she is to marry a stranger, an older man with a rakish reputation. This charming story lives up to its title, False Pretences, and we remain unsure who anyone is, including the gorgeous hero, until near the end of the story when the mystery is revealed. Despite the lack of explicit detail in the sex scenes, there is an unceasing, delicious frisson between the hero and heroine throughout.”

This review makes all the hard work of writing False Pretences worthwhile.
False Pretences and The Captain and The Countess early 18th century romance, mystery and suspense are available as e-publications and paper backs from www.amazon.co.uk and www.amazon.com

And Mrs Lynne says you can never be sure of getting good baking powder nowadays when everything is so adulterated. Mrs Lynne says the Government ought to take the matter up..."
