Book Description:
She's out to steal his name. Will he steal her heart instead?
She's out to steal his name. Will he steal her heart instead?
Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of
former urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London.
Grown now, they are no longer pickpockets-now they focus on high value items
and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. Rosemary's challenge of
a lifetime comes when she's assigned to determine whether a certain wealthy
gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany. How does one steal a family's
history, their very name?
Rumors swirl around Peter Holstein. Awkward and solitary,
but with access to the king, many fear his influence. But Peter can't help his
German last name and wants to prove his loyalty to the crown-so he can go back
to anonymously writing a series of popular adventure novels. When Rosemary
arrives on his doorstop pretending to be a well- credentialed historian, Peter
believes she's the right person to help him dig through his family's past.
Anger and danger continue to mount, though, and
both realize they're in a race against time to discover the truth-about Peter's
past and about the undeniable attraction kindling between them.
About the author:
Roseanna M. White pens her novels beneath her
Betsy Ross flag, with her Jane Austen action figure watching over her. When not
writing fiction, she's homeschooling her two children, editing and designing,
and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of over a
dozen historical novels and novellas, ranging from biblical fiction to
American-set romances to her British series. Spies and war and mayhem always
seem to make their way into her novels . . . to offset her real life, which is
blessedly boring. She passes said boring life with her husband and kids in the
beautiful mountains of eastern West Virginia.

My Review:
I enjoyed reading A Name Unknown. Roseanna tells the story with a fresh twist.
Rosemary is a thief, yet she's a likable character. At one point I forgot she
was a crook and started rooting for her. The secondary characters add a deeper
element to the story, especially Rosemary's ragtag family. I found it funny
when Rosemary sees the library she's going to organize. I've worked in
library's for years, so the whole premise was entertaining. I am a big fan of
Downton Abbey, so this book was a great read for me. If you enjoy historical
fiction set in Britain, you'll like this story. I'm going to give the book 4
stars because it is lengthy with some spots that were a bit slow for me. I
received this book for free.
