Yesterday had all the Summer feels, today it’s feeling like Fall!
I fell right back into step with IN THE LION’S DEN – I missed these rich and vivid characters and although it can be read as a standalone – I recommend starting with the first book because you will love James and Alexis’ story!
Check out my review of Book 1 in the House of Falconer series – Master of His Fate here!
Master of His Fate was one of my first ever Suzy Approved Book Tours and here we are almost 2 years later with the second story in The House of Falconer series… a sweeping Victorian family saga that continues to follow James and his dream to start his own empire, but as with any great historical and epic tale, danger and secrets loom in the shadows.
From New York Times bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford comes the highly anticipated second book in the House of Falconer saga.
The story definitely has some suspenseful scenes as well as others that will have you laughing out loud. The Falconer family is such a supportive and loving cast and I really enjoyed getting to know them more and some new fresh faces as well! It’s very easy to root for them, James’ success, and watching Alexis’ rise up after tragedy.
I definitely think fans of this series will be thrilled with the story arc and how things end up. It picks right back up where the first book left off and it’s full of love, ambition, and quite a bit of mystery!
“Bradford’s many fans will find a vast new cast of characters to connect with.” ―Publisher’s Weekly on Master of His Fate

About the Book:
James Lionel Falconer has risen quickly from a mere shop worker to being the right-hand man of Henry Malvern, head of the most prestigious shipping company in London. With Malvern’s daughter Alexis running away to the country after a terrible tragedy and refusing to return, James’ ascent to head of the company seems inevitable. But even a charmed life like James’ is not without its setbacks.
A terrible fire threatens to end his merchant career before it’s had a chance to truly begin. Mrs. Ward, James’ former paramour, has a secret that could change his life forever. And his distaste for Alexis Malvern is slowly growing into feelings of quite a different sort. Can James continue to be the master of his own fate, or will all of his charm, intelligence, and wit finally fail him when he has to enter the lion’s den?
Spanning the years from 1889 to 1892, In the Lion’s Den is Barbara Taylor Bradford at her historical storytelling best.
