4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Historical Romance, February 20, 2005

By	Elizabeth Barrett Scherpenberg "Sharon" (Texas) - See all my reviews

"Brocade and Silk Stockings" is an entertaining romantic mystery novel. Jeanne Crews Taylor obviously knows her stuff when she delves into the life of Marie Antoinette and the royal palace life at Versailles via her main character. If a trip to Paris is not on your personal agenda, you will enjoy the feel of being there as you enjoy this European adventure story.

5.0 out of 5 stars European Flair with a Texas Connection, February 20, 2004

By A Customer

Author Jeanne Crews Taylor has interwoven good ol' Texas values with plenty of romance and suspense in her novel, Brocade and Silk Stockings. Against a backdrop of breathtaking French wine country and the sidewalk cafes of Paris, Toni Harris, graduate student from Dallas, TX, not only researches her thesis on Marie Antoinette, but also searches for clues to her family's long-kept secret. Love interest, Kyle Kelly, a dentist from Ft. Worth, TX, meets her by chance at one of these sidewalk cafes, and the two realize they have more in common than just Texas!

Brocade and Silk Stockings is a delightfully fast and entertaining read. You'll want to pick up a copy to take on vacation or maybe even to Paris!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Charming and Bubbly Romance!, February 17, 2004

By	Elizabeth Ridley (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

"Brocade and Silk Stockings" is a fast-paced and breezy read that offers plenty of intrigue, romance, and finely-detailed Parisian atmosphere. Author Taylor creates a plucky, likable, and three-dimensional protagonist in Toni Harris while love interest Kyle Kelly is Toni's match and more. The romance of Paris springs from every page as Toni, a graduate student writing her thesis, takes time out to explore the mysteries of her own family background and the more-than-50-year-old secret kept by her loving grandfather, Papa.
"Brocade and Silk Stockings" is the perfect book to take to the beach or curl up with beside the fire. If you love mystery and romance you will love this novel. Highly recommended.
