Can`t get enough #Tudors? I know, me too. If you haven`t read #thequeensmusician by @authormarthajean, grab a copy. You`ll love the story of court lutenist Mark Smeaton. Victim or traitor? #bookstagram #historicalfiction
She was America’s first It Girl—and she paid the price.
𝙄𝙩 𝙂𝙞𝙧𝙡 by Allison Pataki is a glittering, gut-punch of a novel that reimagines the life of Evelyn Nesbit—icon, ingénue, and reluctant tabloid obsession. A wide-eyed beauty with magnetic charm, Evelyn graces the stage and magazine covers of Gilded Age New York. But behind the curtain lies a harrowing story of exploitation, power, and survival.
Pataki traces Evelyn’s heartbreaking coming of age with tenderness and unflinching honesty, peeling back the myth to reveal the young woman beneath the headlines. You’ll ache for her, root for her, and in the end, marvel that she made it out at all.
Sometimes, survival is the greatest triumph.
Many thanks to #𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 and #𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 for the advance copy of this captivating novel. Highly recommended.

I’m at the Boston Book Festival today to see the real Queen of Bridgerton—not Charlotte, but Julia Quinn herself! She’s speaking at the Back Bay Events Center about all things Bridgerton, and tomorrow it’s Shonda’s turn. If you love courtly scandal, secret longing, and the dangerous games of love and power, you’ll adore my own novel, Butterfly Games—a historical fiction full of intrigue, forbidden romance, and the high stakes of a royal court.
