Detective Jackson Forge can hardly wait to marry the street-sly swindler who’s turned his life upside down. Kit Turner is equally excited to wed the handsome detective, and what better way to show her love than providing him with a gift any man of the law would love? She determines to bring to justice the men who years ago maimed his brother—despite Jackson’s warning to leave the past in the past. As she digs into the mystery of what happened, she unwittingly tumbles into her own history and endangers her future happiness with Jackson.

A Visit to Borough Market
Whenever I skip across the pond, I make it a point to stop at the Borough Market for some great meals. This area was—and is—a popular place to shop and an absolute must-see for food lovers. From grocers, fishmongers, cheese sellers, and butchers to all kinds of ethnic eats, it’s hard not to want to sample everything. My personal favorite are the buddha bowls.
Believe it or not, Borough market has been in operation for the past thousand years. Yes, you read that correctly. It actually began as a bridge, constructed in 990. But let’s fast forward to the Victorian era, shall we?
In the nineteenth century, a railway viaduct was constructed through the middle of the market, which brought in more people—but also brought in more noise, soot, disruption, and crime. In such a hotbed of activity, it’s easy to imagine cutpurses and pickpockets of all sorts.
And that’s the perfect scene for a certain con-artist turned investigator to meet with an informant. In The Bride of Blackfriars Lane, Kit Turner is up to her old shenanigans, much to Jackson’s chagrin. You can visit Borough Market along with her in this wild ride through Victorian London. It’s just one of the many stops in a city that never gets old.
My Thoughts
The Bride of Blackfriars Lane is written by Michelle Greip. This is the second book in the Blackfriars Lane series. I always love reading this authors work. She always draws you in within the first few pages. We return back to see Detective Jackson Forge and Kit Turner. They are deeply in love and ready to get married.
The book is set in London in 1885. These two are such opposites and have flaws and that is why they are so likeable. Kit has a sharp tongue and Jackson is so set in his ways. Kit and Jackson have some investigations they want to solve for the other. However things don’t go as planned. Kit ends up unintentionally hurting and humiliating Jackson. Jackson is highly embarrassed and calls the wedding off. However he does want to solve Kit’s mothers murder.
This book has romance, mystery and adventure. The author has crafted such a wonderful story. The historic setting feels realistic. The book is well written and the characters are well developed.
Thank you to the author, publisher and Celebrate Lit for allowing me to read a copy of this story. All thoughts are my own.
