Review request for a "not-your-average" historical romance

[Amy]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for readers willing to honestly review my novel in exchange for a free copy. It is a late Victorian era romance, set in London and tells the tale of Katherine Forrester - a young wife, who is sent to a Harley Street doctor to cure her "hysteria".

Ultimately, it is a story of light and love in a world that can sometimes be incredibly dark.



Here's the blurb:

Katherine did what was expected of her. She married the man her parents deemed suitable. However, she could not do all that was expected of her.

After less than a year of marriage, Katherine is coerced to a doctor’s office, where she must admit the humiliating fact that she hasn’t shared her husband’s bed. She knows what the diagnosis will be and the degrading treatments women with hysteria are subject to. But with a judgemental mother-in-law in tow and an impatient husband at home, the choice is not hers.

Despite herself, she comes to trust the unusual and unconventional man treating her. And, when her increasingly volatile husband threatens to force from her that which she’s unable to give, she feels she must acquiesce to all of her doctor’s recommendations.

Swept up in a surge of self-discovery and sexual awakening, Katherine faces a new reason to be terrified. One she could never have imagined.

Due to adult themes and language, this novel is intended for readers 18 and over.


If you think it might be something you'd enjoy, please feel free to get in touch with me, either here on Goodreads or directly at amy.alston.author@gmail.com

I'm afraid I don't have any hardcopies, but I can provide whichever e-format you prefer. I would also ask that the review is posted within three weeks of receiving the book.

Thanks so much for your interest.
