Victorian adventuress Veronica Speedwell is whisked off to a remote island off the tip of Cornwall when her natural historian colleague Stoker’s brother calls in a favor. The last book left me feeling a little wanting in the relationship department though, so I was extra eager to get my hands on this book to see if Veronica and Stoker finally finally finally, admit that they are clearly made for each other. ![]() Since the inception of this series, I have been first in line with the next installment comes out. I loved the chemistry between her and her leading man, Stoker. She was refreshing, unconventional, over the top, and just so sassy. I fell in love with Veronica Speedwell the moment I started reading. I saw the cover in 2015 and immediately knew I needed this book so I pre ordered a copy. I was sold on it even before it came out.

Some, like Gifford, are unable to control the change. In the midst of some historically accurate events orchestrated by real historical figures, My Lady Jane is also a fantasy novel in which some of the characters have the ability to transform into animals. For Gifford Dudley, the prospect of a wife just means he’ll have one more person to disappoint with his horse curse–that’s right, he spends every day from sunup to sundown as a horse he can’t control it. For Jane, it’s the upheaval of her entire book-filled life. For Edward, the marriage is part of a political plot.
