Blog Tour and Review: Another Woman’s Husband by Gill Paul
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Another Woman's Husband by Gill Paul. I was very excited about this book from the moment I heard about it.

Though I hadn't read any of the earlier books in this series, I was so drawn in by the cover and the blurb that I couldn't resist. There were a few obvious references to events that happened earlier in the series but I had no trouble reading this one as a stand-alone. Though the book is set in 1800's London (a ...
