Good News for readers waiting for news of backlist reprinting.



THE LOVEDAY TRIALS, THE LOVEDAY SCANDALS and THE LOVEDAY HONOUR

Some reviews on Amazon for THE LOVEDAY TRIALS (Book 3 in the Loveday Series)



Totally unputdownable, 5 out of 5 stars


"diane6894" The Loveday Series is an extra interesting one, based in historical Cornwall and with the fine writing of Kate Tremayne who has become one of my favourite authors.
The Loveday Trials, being the third book of the series, entails you in the story and you just can't let it down. With Adam Loveday's marriage being a let down on the family and the trouble that his wicked brother StJohn gets into, this book is as interesting as ever. My mother has been reading the Series and she can't let it down either. Now we're both waiting for the next book in the series and fighting over who'll read it first.




If you loved Poldark, read on, 5 out of 5 stars

By A Customer

25 years ago my mother introduced me to the Poldark saga by Winston Graham, via the TV series. I was hooked and loved every book in the series. Kate Tremayne has created a saga of equal calibre in the Loveday series, where the reader becomes immersed in the life, times and scandals of this Cornish family. I have read the first three books in the series so far and was captivated on every page. The books are about passion, swashbuckling, valour and romance. If only Errol Flynn were alive to play the role of Adam Loveday!

A must for all you romantics !!! 4 out of 5 stars

The Loveday Trials is the third book in hopefully a very long but riveting saga following one families fortunes , the Loveday's , in 18th century Cornwall against a backdrop of shipbuilding & smuggling . I have read & enjoyed her first two books & was not disappointed with this one - action , intrigue & romance continue unabated & I await Kate Tremayne's next book with impatience. In my opinion my money was definitely well spent !!!


An Amazon review for THE LOVEDAY SCANDALS, 5 out of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the series and just a compelling reading as the previous books.
Kate Tremayne's style of writing gets you totally involved with Cornwall, the lifestyle and the many happenings - you feel you are there in Cornwall, on the highway to London, the highwayman, the shows and the gambling.
You then turn to the seas and of course Adam Loveday just wanting to get home to his family who of course are again at loggerheads.
May be the next book will bring them the Loveday Luck they deserve.


THE LOVEDAY HONOUR the fifth book of the Loveday series.



All of the other 10 titles in the series are still in print and available online from Amazon and The Book Depository. They can also be ordered with prompt delivery from all good bookshops if they are not on the shelves.

Images on covers Part 1






First of all happy St Georges Day to all my readers and for any outside of the UK who do not know the significence of this day St George is our patron saint. The 23rd April also commemorates Shakespear's birthday and was also the date of his death.
My great love of history and patronism always made we wonder why we did not as a country do more to celebrate this day. Was it luck or coincidence, if there is any such thing as coincidence, that my own special way of celebration was for that day to mark the birth of my daughter Alison and son Stuart. Although both were born on the 23rd Apri, their births were two years apart. Happy birthday to them and anyone else who shares the day with them.

Marilyn asked me recently to reveal the identities of the Loveday women on the book covers. This is a question I have been asked many times. At first I always left it that as readers get very fixed ideas of what each character would look like, it was best for them to decide. I shall give you my idea and would be interested if readers agree or disagree. Today I will deal with the latest cover of Adam Loveday, Fortunes and Scandals.

The beautiful blonde on Adam Loveday shows a woman of great determination and capable of manipulating men for her own ends. It is Meriel Sawle.

The image on Fortunes is linked with nature and the sea and shows a woman self-assured but more mysterious. There is still a lot more of character to be revealed through later books. It is Senara.

The image on Scandals has to be Gwendolyn. A woman breaking free of her family restraints and prepared to risk all for the man she loves. A woman who is idealistic and has yet to face greater challenges to come.

What are your ideas?
