The City of Bath & the Ladies of Carson Street \u2013 By Rachel Brimble<\/p>\n
The Ladies of Carson Street Trilogy
\nI\u2019m excited to share that my latest book, \u201cA Very Modern Marriage,\u201d which is my 28th novel, is also the third and final part of my Victorian trilogy, the Ladies of Carson Street.<\/p>\n
BATH, ENGLAND
\nAll of my historical romances are set in the charming city of Bath, England, just a short 30-minute drive from my home. While Bath is often linked with the Georgian era due to its architectural boom, it has been a significant city since Roman times and through the Edwardian era. Bath was seen as a symbol of luxury and high society, but did it have a hidden, seedier side like London and other major cities?<\/p>\n
WRITING THE LADIES OF CARSON STREET
\nThat question intrigued me when I started writing the Ladies of Carson Street. I decided to take a bold approach by having my heroines live and work as prostitutes, which is quite unusual for traditional romance novels. I was worried about how this would be received by my readers, but to my relief, they embraced it!<\/p>\n
REVIEWS AND FEEDBACK
\nThe feedback for the first two books, \u201cA Widow\u2019s Vow\u201d and \u201cTrouble For The Leading Lady,\u201d and hopefully the third, \u201cA Very Modern Marriage,\u201d has affirmed my decision. For me, fiction, especially romance, is about the emotional journey of the characters, and I promise there\u2019s plenty of emotion in this trilogy.<\/p>\n
THE HEROINES
\nThe main characters, Louisa, Nancy, and Octavia, come from diverse backgrounds but have all faced hardships that forced them into a darker side of Victorian Britain. These women are resilient and brave, and I find them inspiring. They symbolize female empowerment, hope, and perseverance. My goal as a romance author was to lead readers through their journey to well-deserved happy endings.<\/p>\n
FAMOUS LANDMARKS IN BATH
\nBath is home to many famous landmarks like Pulteney Bridge, Royal Crescent, The Circus, the Pump Room, and the Abbey. It\u2019s a delight and a privilege to include these spots in my stories. I always encourage people to visit Bath and was thrilled to show my author friend, Teri Wilson, around the city.<\/p>\n
WHY YOU SHOULD READ THE LADIES OF CARSON STREET
\nAlthough the Ladies of Carson Street trilogy is grittier and darker than the typical historical romance, it\u2019s also brimming with heart and hope. It\u2019s about overcoming adversity and believing that life goes on. If you enjoy British period dramas full of suspense, intrigue, and romance, give this series a try. I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts!<\/p>\n
