Set against a backdrop of love and treachery during the turbulent years of the Napoleonic Wars, Torn tells the story of a young girl, Alex Broughton, and her journey to womanhood. As events progress, Alex experiences the devastating effects of war, unrequited love, and suffers a cruel betrayal from an unlikely source.
I just finished reading Torn. Loved it, couldn't put it down - I even had to sneak a peak while on a bus heading on a class trip.

The book made me think of Downton Abbey - the way the clothing, homes and countryside was described - it was just beautiful.

Torn is incredibly well written. Intelligent, often witty dialogue...it left me wanting more.

Inviolate continues the narrative of Alex Broughton and her passionate struggle against the constraints of her time. Set in 1813 during the Regency Era, Alex, still numb from the pain of an intolerable betrayal, reluctantly accepts an arranged marriage, and at the age of 19, journeys to Scotland to face an unknown future.
Trapped in a loveless, violent marriage, and with nothing left to lose, Alex embarks on a fight for survival. Battling the irresistible forces raging against her, she remains bound to the one man she can never forgive, or forget.
It's probably the opposite of the type of book I usually read but I can't put it down! When is the movie coming out?

I'd never heard of Karen before - what I can tell you is that she is an Aussie author and these books are amazing.

Set in Yorkshire in 1941, Stormbird tells the story of an unexpected relationship that builds between a British war widow and a German fighter pilot, shot down and in hiding, despite their countries’ bitter differences.
Stormbird is a book I could devour over and over. Karen presents characters and plot that see you leave the world of fiction and enter a world of striking reality.

This is an amazingly poignant story of love, sacrifice and bravery. There is magic in your storytelling, Karen. Thank you for inviting me into your world.

I wasn't sure how it could lead on from the first two books and certainly did not expect it to be even better! This is an edge of the seat page turner and I have loved it!
