Grace Burrowes: The soldier ym.

Grace Burrowes kirjoittaa historiallisia rakkausromaaneja, kokonaisia kirjasarjoja joissa lukuisa määrä (yläluokkaisia) henkilöitä etsii paikkaansa elämässä. Pahimmillaan romaanit ovat rutiininomaisia suorituksia, mutta parhaimmillaan Burrowes onnistuu luomaan uskottavia henkilöhahmoja, joiden keskinäisissä suhteissa on maanläheistä karheutta.
