Maura Seger

76 books30 followers
Maura Seger was born in 1951. She and her husband, Michael, met while they were both working for the same company. They married after a whirlwind courtship that might have been taken directly from romance novel. She credits her husband's patient support and good humor for helping her fulfill the lifelong dream of being a writer.

Published since 1982, Maura Seger is a prolific novelist, who also wrote under many pseudonyms over time: Maeve Fitzgerald, Anne MacNeill, Jenny Bates, Sara Jennings, Laurel Winslow, Laura Michaels, Laura Hastings, and Josie Litton. She used different pennames to re-invent herself.

She is happily at work on a new novel, because she finds that writing each romance is and adventure filled with fascinating people who never fail to surprise her. When she isn't writing, she keeps busy homeschooling her two children and thinking of new stories. She lives in New England, USA, with her husband, children and menagerie... mostly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5 stars

How splendid! Very historical with lots of good details about the time, and quite accurate for that matter. Very sweet, with a little more angst and a heftier plot than the third book of the series.

Verony was courageous, sweet, and very capable. She was very caring and accepting. I felt that she blossomed throughout the story. I really liked the loyalty of her servants at the beginning. That was so sweet and really showed her character.

Curran was very warrior-like, but with a soft inside. He was strong, but loving and protective. I liked that he was almost instantaneously in love/infatuated with Verony, it was very cute.

Overall, would recommend!

Excellent book shown from the Saxon perspective to the Norman invasion.
