I enjoy the way class is present and used to further the story, also the real knowledge and thoughtful deployment of information about the Royal Navy, the Army and the Peninsular wars. So far, I have enjoyed ‘Miss Whittier Makes a List’, ‘The Lady’s Companion’, ‘One Good Turn’ and the three Channel Fleet books about the illegitimate daughters of a nasty piece of work – these are: ‘Marrying the Captain’, ‘The Surgeon’s Lady’ and ‘Marrying the Royal Marine’. I’ve been glomming Carla Kelly ebooks this week so great minds are thinking alike. Do you have a Carla Kelly novel you love and recommend? If someone (like me!) were to start a Kelly glom, which books are must-reads? Which Carla Kellly book should we read first? There are some incredibly moving stories in that book.Īfter my evening reading The Wedding Journey, I am more than eager to read more of Kelly's books, past or present. I also strongly recommend Here’s to the Ladies, her collection of western short stories. Both her heroes and heroines are complex people, not cardboard cutouts. I love that her world does not center on balls and society and the ton. Drew Plays Her Hand ( A | BN | K | S – $2.99 )įor some reason those books particularly resonate with me (even when the plots creak a little).

My go-to books for rereading are, in no particular order: Which means I am going to recommend more than one. It is such a tough call-I don’t have just one favorite, and since the books are categories they are relatively short.


This is a very good idea! So of course I asked Susan, who is clearly a Kelly fan, which titles she recommends most: Almost all are good but I am sure everyone has their favorites. There are about 30, including an ebook collection of short stories that appeared in themed anthologies. With Her Hesitant Heart ( A | BN | K | S | iB ) being released this week it would be cool to do a reader recommends/where to start for her books. Most (if not all-I have lost track) of Carla Kelly’s books are out or coming out as ebooks, including the new inspirationals. Susan is a reader who followed Kelly as she started writing inspirational romances.Īfter the discussion in the sale post and in my review for The Wedding Journey, Susan contacted me with a suggestion: Susan, a guest reviewer, reviewed My Loving Vigil Keeping last year, also. Last week I reviewed The Wedding Journey by Carla Kelly – which I loved reading – after highlighting a few of Kelly's books that have been digitally re-published at $2.99.
