When newly widowed Tess returns to Merrick Court, her husband's home, it's to confront her past head-on. But during a visit to the nearby Raglan Castle, an extraordinary hallucination transports her to a past that existed long before her own - to 17th-century Wales and to a castle on the brink of a siege. Even when Tess leaves Raglan, the strangeness continues as her life becomes increasingly intertwined with her dreams and visions. And when she meets Josh Owens, a stranger from New Zealand, the parallels become even more obvious. But perhaps the voices from the past are simply trying to tell their own story or is it something more.… (altro)

The Velvet Cloak of Moonlight is an historical fiction which moves between the present where the heir to Merrick Court, Josh Owens, has arrived and is deciding whether or not to sell the mansion and 1646 with a backdrop of the lead up to the British Civil War.
In 2016 Josh is feeling an unexplained pull not only toward the mansion itself but also toward its current inhabitant, the former Lady Merrick.
In 1646 we are privy to the budding romance between cavalry officer Rhys Cadell and Arabella Dauncey as the downfall of Raglan Castle looms.

The dual narrative, separated by centuries however cleverly connected through paranormal occurrences, slowly unfolds to show parallels in the characters lives.
The language changes realistically as the story moves between the centuries. I was equally intrigued by both stories and one didn’t overpower the other. Both had equal amounts of romance, misunderstandings, danger and suspense.

I’ve discovered a new, to me, author and I’m so pleased she has many more novels I can lose myself in.

With characters to love and truly sinister characters to hate the Velvet Cloak of Moonlight is highly recommended for readers of historical romance.

I received a copy from Choc Lit via Netgalley and chose to write a review. ( )

The past and the present are inextricably entwined in this novel that links a romance from the past to one taking place in the present. Both are tied to Merrick Court, an ancient treasure and paranormal experiences that include seeing ghosts and seeing visions of what happened in the past.

Arabella Dauncy and Rhys Cadell star in the romance of the past and their story is interspersed with that of Tess and Josh who live in the present. A lot happens in this novel with besiegement of a castle in the past, a casino owner in the present pressuring Tess with monetary and other demands and relatives in both eras causing difficulties.

This was an enjoyable read with interesting characters and I would like to thank NetGalley and ChocLit for the ARC of this novel given in exchange for my honest review. ( )
