Which One First: Alice Coldbreath
Back by popular demand, it’s Which One First, where we recommend where new readers should start with an author’s considerable backlist. And also by request: it’s Which One First? Alice Coldbreath Edition! Alice Coldbreath, if you aren’t familiar, is a massively popular author of historical romances, specifically medievals and some Victorian stories.

Welcome back! Firstly, thank you all for your flu commiserations! Breathing is better, but definitely not at 100%, plus a little cough as started to make an appearance. I’m full steam ahead on cozy activities, like gaming in bed, nudging my partner to help figure out how our propane fireplace works, making warm salads like this one.

RECOMMENDED: Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai is $1.99! Lara read this one and gave it an A- in a Lightning Review:

HaBO: She Served as Head of Her Father’s Army
This HaBO comes from Diksha, who wants to find this historical-ish romance: It’s an English novel. It’s a historical romance (but could also be called fantasy — I don’t remember the exact setting, but it had kings ruling kingdoms and fighting, so maybe medieval). The heroine was originally supposed to marry the hero’s brother, but he had already gone into a secret marriage, so she is now forced by circumstance to marry the hero instead. … Continue reading HaBO: She Served as Head of Her Father’s Army
