About The House in Grosvenor Square:
England, 1813: As Ariana Forsythe plans her wedding, she must adjust to the realization that she will soon become the wife of an extremely wealthy man. She wonders if it's wrong to rejoice that her future husband is rich. But, she promises herself to use her new position to do what she can to aid the numerous street waifs she sees all too often in London. During a tour of her future home-the house in Grosvenor Square-Ariana impulsively makes plans to redecorate (just a little) according to her tastes . But when Philip arrives home later, he is informed that an expensive silver candlestick and a miniature portrait of George III have gone missing. Moreover, each time Ariana visits the house, another item disappears.
When Ariana suffers an abduction attempt by two villains, and other mysterious goings-on are unexplained, Mr. Mornay must unravel the mystery of who is after her, and why. He knows he has to prevent any harm from befalling his future bride, even if it means he must keep her under lock and key in his own house!
Romance, suspense, and a deft touch of humor are part of the wonderful story of Philip Mornay and Ariana Forsythe's march to the altar. Fans of Linore's first book, Before the Season Ends, will love this delightful addition to the Regency Inspirational Series, as will all readers of historical romance.

Book Review:
The House in Grosvenor Square is packed with action. The characters seem to jump off the pages in this well written story. I enjoyed the twists and turns every step of the way. Before the Season Ends and Grosvenor Square blend Ariana's spirituality seemlessly, but I find Phillip Mornay's to be a bit forced. Linore Rose Burkhard's love for the Regency shines through. Jane Austin fans will enjoy both of these books.
I look forward to reading more from this up and coming author. Linore is currently working on the third novel in this series.
