Trapped by Scandal
Trapped by Scandal is the second book of the series by Jane Feather. The second book can also be read alone. It is during the French revolution and the main characters, Hero and William meet quite by accident as both are trying to find people to save them. William recognizes right away that Hero is a woman and not meant for what she is doing, but Hero answers to no one, not even her twin. Both are strong willed people who put others first and both are falling for the other. This is a fun, historical read and has a nice story line. *JK*

A Novel of the French Revolution
Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran details Tussaud's Wax Museum in Paris during the start of the French Revolution. Parisians who wanted to see the fashions and events of the day would flock to Tussauds, where tableau's of current happenings were changed frequently. Once Marie Tussaud received the King and Queen's seal of approval her business boomed and she caught the attention of the King's sister Elisabeth, becoming her royal tutor in wax sculpting. Even as she befriends the royals, revolution is building and patriots flock to her 'salon' for talk of the upcoming revolution. This book focuses on the time period known as the Reign of Terror and is a fascinating slice of history written in a readable, fast paced style. Not to be missed! SG
