Emily E K Murdoch | Author-Reader Match: TWELVE DRUMMERS DRUMMING

facebooktwitterbookbub

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Emily E K Murdoch!

 

Writes:

Emily writes historical romance – sweet or steamy, there’s a Murdoch historical romance for you! Heroes with heart, heroines with gumption, and hilarity as love is fought for, discovered, and encountered in the most surprising of places.

 

About:

British author and cheese aficionado, Emily adores swords, hikes in the English countryside, and losing herself in a book that makes her forget to top up her wine glass (almost).

 

My ideal reader would be someone who loves -

  • Heroines and heroes who conquer the odds, even if the odds are themselves
  • Fiery and sensual encounters (as Emily E K Murdoch) and sweet affectionate connection (as Emily Murdoch)
  • Historical settings you may not expect, like medieval and seaside Regency
  • A hero pushing a heroine against a wall and kissing her senseless

 

What to expect if we're compatible:

  • Casts of characters that you see popping up again across her world of Regency romances
  • Clever witty banter and situations that take a direction you NEVER would have expected
  • Long series (10+ books!) that build on a theme, revisit characters, or are family sagas
  • Satisfying endings that leave you wanting to read the next book

 

TWELVE DRUMMERS DRUMMING is Book 1 in the Twelve Days of Christmas series by Emily E K Murdoch. Books 2 – 6 are also currently out.

TWELVE DRUMMERS DRUMMING by Emily E. K. Murdoch

The Twelve Days of Christmas #1

Twelve Drummers Drumming

Welcome to the exciting new holiday series from USA Today Bestselling author Emily E K Murdoch.

Follow each of the Fitzroy women as they cause nothing but scandal and intrigue across the ton and try to keep their exploits quiet.

It’s 1813, and twelve drummers drumming are about to bring love into Jemima's life…

Jemima Fitzroy is tired of being ignored by her loud, rambunctious family - especially as she attempts to campaign for veterans in a world that doesn't appreciate them.

Soldiers are returning home from Napoleonic France, and Captain Hugh Rotherham knows he will never be the same again. Not just because of what he's seen, but because of what he's seeing right now: a startlingly beautiful woman who stirs something so passionate in it, the drumming of his heart matches that of his regiment.

Jemima knows she shouldn't be meeting this soldier without her family's knowledge. Hugh knows he cannot cross the line from respectability to scandal.

It doesn't matter. Twelve drummers drumming will change their lives - and the rhythm that can tease out exquisite pleasure…

Meet the Fitzroy family: twelve cousins falling in love over Christmastime!

This novella is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series which can be read in any order - but follow the numbers down for the best reading experience!

Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Flame line, so this is a sexy, steamy, and scorching-hot read with multiple sex scenes. Be advised.
