The glitter of Restoration England is expertly evoked in Royal's latest
romance, the third to feature a member of the Chase family. Liberally laced with
intrigue and danger, the book's quicksilver plot is nicely counterbalanced by the
passionately detailed romance.
—Booklist (American Library Association)
This lively Restoration romance…is filled with likable characters,
particularly Kendra, who takes the refreshing step of talking to her husband about
his confusing behavior rather than generating conflict by jumping to conclusions.
[Trick's] interactions with his family are drawn with charm and warmth. Although Royal
is a new romance author, this winning debut [trilogy] will earn her critical
kudos…an impressive talent.
—Publishers Weekly (Forecasted review)

glamour of the Restoration to life with her colorful characters, vivid backdrop, and
passionate romances. Here she incorporates lessons about family and trust, loyalty and
heroism, adding the kind of depth readers cherish.
—Kathe Robin, Romantic Times Magazine (4-star review!)
…brings 17th Century England vividly alive…passionate…fast-paced
and filled with action from the first page to the climax.
—Midwest Book Review
Amber is a tremendous Restoration romance. The storyline runs quite deep
due to the lead couple. Trick is a captivating protagonist with major problems, but it is
the likable and honest Kendra who makes the storyline flow. Her simply asking Trick what
bothers him rather than the usual leap to a false conclusion is incredibly refreshing and
yet never slows down the pace of the plot. The return of the stars from the previous tales
add depth and warmth to a strong conclusion to a powerful tale that is clearly part of a
royal flush.
—Harriet Klausner (5-star review!)
Historical novels offer two important elements to a reader: entertainment and a dose of
history that doesn't disrupt the magic of the story. Lauren Royal juggles the two brilliantly,
sending readers back to Restoration England in a delightful trio of historical romances that
will captivate readers with enchanting storylines and colorful characters—a grand
adventure.
—Cheré Coen, The Baton Rouge Advocate
Lauren Royal's Amber is a precious jewel. It captures the true essence of
Scotland with a tale of strength and endurance that thrives primarily on human spirit…a
powerfully crafted story filled with the history of the times…a passionate romance with
enough adventure to keep the reader turning the pages.

The characters are sexy, funny and believable. The love scenes are teasing and sensual. A
thoroughly enjoyable read!
