A terrific historical romance set in San Francisco in the 1870’s. I loved the sweet story of Belle, a beautiful Southern lady trying to get away from the aftermath of the Civil War. Her travels lead her to the handsome Yankee captain, Yancy, during an adventurous train ride to the west coast. This story has it all, a great plot, endearing characters and lots of romance. Excellent addition to historical American romance. Romantic heat level is low and sweet.

Bay City Belle by Shirley Kennedy will be available July 17, 2018 from Lyrical Press, an imprint of Kensington Books. An egalley of this book was made available by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.
