Mademoiselle Lenormand, the infamous Parisian fortune-teller, has been given the impossible task: find the golem she??d conjured, and bring it back to the shadowy society of witches where it belongs. She must hold her tarot cards close to her chest to survive as the drums of war start to sound between England and her homeland. The entire fate of womankind rests upon her success. But for Mlle. Lenormand success is entirely dependent upon the quality of her repas. Suffice to say, the ship??s biscuit and salted pork is just not up to snuff.Napoleon Bonaparte curses the day he??d ever met that drat fortune-teller who stole his emerald. She had the gall to blame it all on a golem. Golem, indeed! There is no such thing! That slippery swindler Lenormand knew full well the emerald holds the only key to a peaceful world. ??Find that woman and her accomplice,? he tells his minister of police. ??I??ll hang them both by their fingernails until they give me what I want.?Elise Dubois, unwitting golem and 21st Century time-traveler, has one thing in mind: getting the heck out of the 19th Century and back to Tucson, Arizona. She clutches the emerald like it??s her only ticket, but so far it??s only dragged her into a marriage she doesn??t want and a nurse??s position with the British Army. She prays she??ll wake up from her nightmare before the war begins?.?Okay, two. Elise has two things in mind: getting home, and Thomas, the sultry and sulking former barman of the Quiet Woman.

It was a very interesting book. Not something I would have read naturally but there was a lot of suspends that made it a page turner. I would love to know if there's a second book. ( )

As I found out when I began reading, The Brazen Woman (The Emerald Scarab) is book 2 in a series. I wish I had read the first book as I would have appreciated the backstory references and the importance of the scarab Elise carries with her. Yes, they say it's the key to world peace, but how? I was never able to shake the feeling of walking in to a story midway and my many unanswered questions kept me from enjoying the writing which was good. ( )

An amazing story, after I received the book I started reading and I could not put the book down. I love the book. The author really painted an amazing journey ( )
