My Maiden Lane series takes place in 1730s London, a world teeming with the sounds of church bells and hoof beats, violins and castrati opera singers, the shouts of street hawkers and the murmur of political intrigue. Coffee shops were bustling centers of gossip and news, at night you could find entertainment at the theater, opera, or pleasure gardens, and everywhere the streets were crammed with people, carriages, horses, sedan chairs, and the odd flock of sheep going to slaughter. The poor lived cheek by jowl in dirty, crammed tenement buildings in the East End and St. Giles, scratching out a living by begging, prostitution, or thievery. At the same time the very rich strolled their gilded homes in silks, velvet's, and fabulously embroidered brocades, intent upon flirtation and intrigue.From guttersnipes to dukes, gin-shop sellers to the daughters of earls, Dragoon captains to Thames river pirates, the Maiden Lane series embraces everything about this fabulous time in London’s history.

I was not fan of Historical Books but I was recommended this series by my friends from GD so I gave them a try!Oh boy are they good!I love them! Cannot stop reading them.It is so readable! Characters are so loving and hot at the same time.I love the setting,London in early 1700's and it is nice to go back and see how people used to live( I am aware it is a fiction).I cannot get enough of clothes,oh those dresses! I am jealous!Highly recommended from me!
