Historical Romance:
Stories of Rebels,
Adventure, and Mystery
My favorite time period is historical because it’s during a time when men defended a lady’s honor and treated women with respect. The women, on the other hand, were not pansies by any means. I love strong women characters who fight for what they believe.
The Rebel Series is a Historical Mystery/Adventure Romance set in the 1700s. I love historical romance and I love mysteries. Many people have asked me why I wrote a story about rebels. Simple! I love a rogue who fights for justice and for the people.
It was a bunch of rebels who fought for our freedom here in America. They wanted to be free from the dictatorship and tyranny of a king. Liberty is something that I cherish. So I decided to write about a small country that struggles to be free.
My favorite genre to write is a mixture of romance, mystery, and adventure. I also love a romance where the man and woman know they are meant for one another, even though there are trials along the way. Instead of drama between a couple, I prefer having suspense in the main plot, instead.
What is The Rebels Series about?
In The Rebels of Cordovia, a group of men and women find themselves fighting for their rights, for freedom of speech, and equality. In the small country of Cordovia, groups of rebels begin springing up, but its Robin’s Rebels who get the attention of the king.
In this battle for freedom, a tender love story begins to blossom. Daniel, a rogue and a leader of the Freemen, doesn’t realize that the sweet feminine woman he has met and is falling for happens to be the leader of Robin’s Rebels. Realizing the importance of uniting all the rebel groups, Daniel tries to recruit Robin’s Rebels but they refuse. Now he has to find a way to convince them. When he finds out the leader is actually a woman, what will his reaction be?
In book 2, The Highwayman of Cordovia, the people enjoy their new-found liberty, but all is not well. A group of powerful men plan to take over the small country and replace the leader with a king. With the help of a bold highwayman and a pastor’s daughter, they try to save their country from being taken over by a power-hungry leader. As they strive to stop the Kingmen and thwart their plans, Christine finds herself falling in love with Austin Knight. The only problem with their relationship is that she thinks he is her knight in shining armor instead of a highwayman. If she finds out his trade, what will her reaction be? As a pastor’s daughter, will love override her values?
In book 3, The Fox of Cordovia, a sinister plot has just been uncovered and its up to a former patriot and a young nurse to discover who is behind it. Caroline is engaged to the future mayor of Laketown, a man of influence and greatly respected. But all that changes when she overhears a conspiracy behind closed doors. After being discovered, she runs for her life. Caroline needs to report her findings, but whom can she trust? When she asks Jesse Conover for help, the adventure begins.
How about the reviews for this series?
When I sent The Rebels of Cordovia to Sunnie Reviews, she wrote:
“I so enjoyed this fun book! It has adventure, romance, a little mystery, and action.
No boring moments here. Placed back in the days of wicked and oppressive kings,
the rebels work together for the freedoms of the common people.
Will they succeed against the governing forces?
The romance is sweet and the action is plenty.”
Author Charissa Stastny reviewed The Highwayman of Cordovia:
“This sequel to the Rebels of Cordovia takes a pastor’s daughter
and mixes her in with a rogue highwayman. The results will surprise you in this continued battle
for freedom and justice. This sweet romance had action and intrigue,
mysteries to solve, and villains to thwart.”
Inishowen Cailín, from Ireland, wrote about The Fox of Cordovia on her blog:
