LWD Book Club ~ The Willing Widow

May 1, 2022 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I don’t read a lot of romance books but I make an exception for historical romance set in my favorite city, New Orleans. It’s been ages since I’ve indulged in this (not-so) guilty pleasure. Since we’ve just had a vacation there if feels like the perfect time for The Willing Widow, the first in a series set in 19th century New Orleans.

The Willing Widow book cover

 

From the fabled cobblestone streets of the French Quarter, to the gracious mansions of the Garden District, to the swamps and watery mists surrounding the beloved city of New Orleans, Ursula LeCoeur introduces readers to the world of two unforgettable characters: Renee Desselle is a beautiful young widow who owns a thriving French Quarter millinery. Irishman William Collins is a newcomer to New Orleans who manages his uncle’s prosperous cotton brokerage. In the midst of preparations for the city’s grand World Exposition and Cotton Centennial of 1884, Renee offers to assist a desperate society matron who is being stalked by a mysterious stranger. To help his uncle, William undertakes the search for an embezzler on the Cotton Exposition Committee. Passion ignites between hero and heroine as their investigations intertwine on a path that leads to love—and murder. In this witty and passionate first novel, courage and the promise of new love triumph over unknown dangers threatening from darkened alleys, and the mistrust and desperation of a complicated past.

    Hope you enjoy the read. And I’m sorry I’m so slow getting in here.

    I’ve been reading all kinds of things, including some mysteries with a crafting theme.
