Author: Michelle Griep

Genre: Christian/Romance/Historical

Release date: September 2022

Detective Jackson Forge can hardly wait to marry the street-sly swindler who’s turned his life upside down. Kit Turner is equally excited to wed the handsome detective, and what better way to show her love than providing him with a gift any man of the law would love?

She determines to bring to justice the men who years ago maimed his brother—despite Jackson’s warning to leave the past in the past.

As she digs into the mystery of what happened, she unwittingly tumbles into her own history and endangers her future happiness with Jackson.

My Thoughts on The Bride of Blackfriars Lane

I need to start this review by saying something.  About time this book came out!  Literally!!  My kids and I read the first book.  We were left on the edge of our seats and waiting to see what happened next.  And waiting.  And waiting.  It really was not well done by the author to make us wait so long!

Please note it really was only a year in between the two books.  Well, a year and a half.  Which feels like forever.  If you’ve not realized it yet you need to go read the first book before you read this one.  I don’t even want to know if you don’t.  I’ll be very disappointed in you. 

Okay.  So we’ve established that this is book two of a series. 

It’s amazing. 

Both this book and the entire series are amazing and you’re going to fall in love with the characters and the places they visit.  I cannot wait until the future me gets to visit some of the sites from the book. 

If you’re looking for a mystery read, this is it.  Maybe you’re looking for a suspenseful read?  Well, this is that too!  Or maybe you’re craving a bit of romance?  You’ll find that here too.  

This amazing cast of characters is going to take you along for a fast-paced ride that will leave you breathless and unable to put the book down.  In fact, every time I put my copy down it disappeared!  That’s right!  I’d have to go searching for it.  I knew it wasn’t growing legs on its own.  Turns out two of my children were snitching it because they were also reading it.  At the same time as me.  Because they wanted to know what happened to Jackson and Kit as much as I did!

I loved taking a step back in time with this book.  The characters are my friends and I missed them while they were away.  I could not wait to find out what happened to Jackson and Kit and how their relationship progressed.  Just know that Kit has a past that is far from Jackson’s and when she tries to solve a mystery for him as a present things get both hilarious and troublesome immediately. 

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

A Visit to Borough Market

Whenever I skip across the pond, I make it a point to stop at the Borough Market for some great meals. This area was—and is—a popular place to shop and an absolute must-see for food lovers. From grocers, fishmongers, cheese sellers, and butchers to all kinds of ethnic eats, it’s hard not to want to sample everything. My personal favorite is the buddha bowls.

Believe it or not, the Borough market has been in operation for the past thousand years. Yes, you read that correctly. It actually began as a bridge, constructed in 990. But let’s fast forward to the Victorian era, shall we?

In the nineteenth century, a railway viaduct was constructed through the middle of the market, which brought in more people—but also brought in more noise, soot, disruption, and crime. In such a hotbed of activity, it’s easy to imagine cutpurses and pickpockets of all sorts.

And that’s the perfect scene for a certain con-artist turned investigator to meet with an informant. In The Bride of Blackfriars Lane, Kit Turner is up to her old shenanigans, much to Jackson’s chagrin. You can visit Borough Market along with her on this wild ride through Victorian London. It’s just one of the many stops in a city that never gets old.
