ABOUT THE BOOK
The Continuing Adventure of Jackson and Kit!
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 REVIEW
I loved the constable-thief dynamic of The Thief of Blackfriars Lane—and how they got a happy ending together—but The Bride of Blackfriars Lane puts all their differences to the test.
Both Jackson Forge and Kit Turner are looking forward to their wedding day—but they seem to have different ideas of what married life will look like. The mystery this go-round brings up aspects of the past for Jackson and Kit; to uncover the truth, they must wade through secrets and danger and stubborn disagreements, and their relationship just might not survive until the end.
I enjoyed this second book with Jackson and Kit. It is always interesting to see what happens to a couple after the meet cute and first kiss and "I love you" have passed—and the ups and downs of The Bride of Blackfriars Lane is exactly the sort of adventure I would expect for this pair. It makes for a fun read with humorous, uplifting, and surprising moments, and I think any reader looking for a historical mystery and romance would be pleased.

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 are the buddha bowls.

GUEST POST FROM THE AUTHOR
Believe it or not, 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 in this wild ride through Victorian London. It’s just one of the many stops in a city that never gets old.
Thank you for sharing your review of The Bride of Blackfriars Lane, this sounds like a wonderful book and series that I am looking forward to reading
