What people are saying about Alison Stuart's books

By The Sword "...I read the prologue and cried like a baby. Yes, on page 3, Alison Stuart had this cynical businesswoman weeping...This is not a comedy. I wept through most of it. Whether it was a touching scene between the hero and the heroine's young son or during the death scenes (including those of children – this is war, after all), the writing and story moved me..Yep, sometimes a book is called the best of the best because it is simply that… the best."  Enduring Romance Blogspot

The King's Man "...The King’s Man heralds the start of an exciting career for a wonderful new historical romance novelist: Alison Stuart. Richly woven, intriguing, passionate and riveting from page one, if you like reading historicals, you’ll absolutely love this! ....The King’s Man is an absolutely terrific historical I just couldn’t put down! Alison Stuart is a master storyteller who has written a story that’s fast-paced, enthralling, passionate and absolutely impossible to resist!" FOUR STARS:  Ecataromance Reviews

COMING SEPTEMBER 3 2012:  
A new book by Alison Stuart

GATHER THE BONES

Published by LYRICAL PRESS

WAR LEAVES NO ONE UNTOUCHED



















The horrors of the Great War are not the only ghosts that haunt Helen Morrow and her late husband's somewhat reclusive cousin, Paul. Unquiet spirits from another time and another conflict touch them.

A coded diary gives them clues to the mysterious disappearance of Paul's great-grandmother in 1812, and the desperate voice of a young woman reaches  out to them from the pages. Together Helen and Paul must search for answers, not only for the old mystery, but also the circumstances surrounding the death of Helen's husband at Passchandaele in 1917.

As the mysteries entwine, their relationship is bound by the search for truth, in the present and the past.
