Praise for

Brenda Joyce

“Joyce’s latest is a piece of perfection as she

meticulously crafts a tender and emotionally

powerful love story. Passion and pain erupt from the

pages and flow straight into your heart. You won’t

forget this beautifully rendered love story of lost

souls and redemption”

—RT BOOKreviews on The Perfect Bride

“Joyce’s characters carry considerable emotional

weight, which keeps this hefty entry absorbing, and her

fast-paced story keeps the pages turning.”

—Publishers Weekly on The Stolen Bride

“An emotionally sweeping tale of heartache,

redemption and rebirth, The Stolen Bride lives up to this reader’s high expectations for a Perfect 10 read.”

—Romance Reviews Today

“The latest from Joyce offers readers a passionate,

swashbuckling voyage in her newest addition to the de

Warenne dynasty series. Joyce brings her keen sense

of humour and storytelling prowess to bear on

her witty, fully formed characters.”

—Publishers Weekly on A Lady at Last

“The latest in the de Warenne series is a warm,

wonderfully sensual feast about the joys and pains of

falling in love. Joyce breathes life into extraordinary

characters – from her sprightly Cinderella heroine and

roguish hero to everyone in between – then sets them in

the glittering Regency, where anything can happen.”

—RT BOOKreviews on A Lady at Last

The Masquerade “dances on slippered feet, belying its heft with spellbinding dips, spins and twists.

Jane Austen aficionados will delve happily into heroine

Elizabeth “Lizzie” Fitzgerald’s family…Joyce’s tale

of the dangers and delights of passion fulfilled will

enchant those who like their reads long and rich.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Joyce brilliantly delivers an intensely emotional and

engrossing romance where love overcomes deceit,

scandal and pride…An intelligent love story with

smart, appealing and strong characters. Readers will savour this latest from a grand mistress of the genre.”
