the way to a contracted marriage. It will take her far away from the home and
vineyards she's desperate to return to. The fate of her very soul will lie in
danger no matter what action she takes.

her life further is Jean-Marc, the vagabond trickster who wants a wife for his
brother. With sons from that marriage he will be free to explore the world...
if he can stop himself from falling for his brother's future wife.
Angela’s Review:
From the very beginning, this story
remained a complete mystery. It wasn’t until half
way through that I was able to make some predictions. Ms. Strickland cleverly drizzled her
storyline throughout the entire read, and had me wanting to turn the pages. I loved the bits and pieces of history and
knowledge that the author incorporated, in regards to the vineyards and
religious corruption.
I absolutely adored Abbie. Her strong-willed personality made for a great
heroine. Though she was not wise to the ways of
relationships, she had a passion about her that kept me wanting to cheer her on
the entire read. She had a true inner
beauty, which only enhanced her outer beauty.
I was very indecisive when it came to
Jean-Marc. I found him to be lacking in
the scruples department, but by halfway through the book I was finally able to
feel his growing emotion toward Abbie, and found him to be the sexy,
possessive, protector that I love in a hero. After that point, I was able to root for the
couple to find happiness together.
All in all, I found Burgundy and Lies to
be a great historical romance. I loved
how the author was able to keep me hanging in a way that had me in awe,
especially when she turned the tables at the very end. If you love reading sweet, sensual,
historical romances then you don’t want to miss reading Burgundy and Lies.
