In Tidelands, Phillippa Gregory takes a break from the Tudors to weave a story about a women caught up in England’s civil war between parliament and the cavaliers. In Never Have I Ever , Joshilyn Jackson breaks from her amusing Southern Gothic for a tart story about a game of truth and dare that spins out of control. Aind in Someone to Honor, Mary Balogh sticks with her Regency romance formula in a story based on mistaken first impressions.
