“This story is full of romance and suspense. . . No one can resist a novel written by Cheryl Bolen. Her writing talents charm all readers. Highly recommended reading! 5 stars!” – Huntress Reviews
“Bolen pens a sparkling tale, and readers will adore her feisty heroine, the arrogant, honorable Warwick and a wonderful cast of supporting characters.” – RT Book Reviews * * * Maggie thought she was married to an earl . . . but it seems that her late and unlamented husband lied to her from the day they met. Now—penniless and stranded in London—she has thrown herself on the mercy of the real Lord Warwick. What's a counterfeit countess to do? Edward, the Earl of Warwick, desires only to get rid of the beautiful woman who arrived at his house with no less than fourteen trunks, a younger sister, a maid, and a very large cat. Her preposterous explanation is of no importance—but her late husband held the clue to the identity of England's greatest traitor, a clue the Foreign Service must get at any cost. Edward will have to guard her night and day—but he cannot guard his heart.
I don't mind having a little bit of humor in my Historical Romances, especially if they're English, no offense. This is why. After a while, the dialogue tends to get a bit droll at times, and a bit of humor in the right spots would tend to lighten things up a bit. This would also depend on what type of book it is. That means whether or not the book would support a bit of humor or not. I've read books that were absolutely dreadful, and could have used at least a couple lines of humor to break them up a little here and there!! It's nice that you are concerned enough to ask your readers for their opinion. I'm looking forward to reading your book, since I wasn't in the loop the first go-around.

It is so nice that you are concerned about the readers and ask their opinion. I have read alot of dry books that went on and on and could of used a bit of laughs a few times and it would of made the book better. Love your books and look forward to your writing as you do now!

Thank you, Peggy. (Cheryl Bolen 9:32pm September 6, 2015)
I love humor in romance! I also have to be able to empathize with the hero and heroine, and for them to have a romantic love story. (Sharlene Wegner 11:51pm September 6, 2015)
Use of Humour, applied appropriately, is good and it adds to make the book or story line more human and sometimes humane...keep up the great work! (Sylvia Reddom 10:17pm September 25, 2015)
