Exile for Dreamers A Stranje House Novel Kathleen Baldwin Books

EXILE FOR DREAMERS makes Tess the star this time. Tess is plagued by prophetic dreams and also fears that she will lose her mind and die young like her mother and grandmother. Gabriel who is the new Lord Ravencross isn't going to let that happen. Despite her determination that they will just be friendly strangers, he keeps courting her.

Besides this romance plot, our heroines also have to deal with Lady Daneska returning after being routed in the first book to try to capture Tess as a gift for Napoleon and kill Tess's Lord Ravencross to make the way for her lover, his older brother.

Meanwhile, Napoleon is planning an invasion of England. Luckily, Sebastian who is in France manages to rescue the nephew of Robert Fulton and send him to Stranje House where he works to create a steamboat and other weapons to help England in its fight against Napoleon. However, this brash young American manages to really rub Lady Jane the wrong way (leading, I hope, to the romance in the next book.)

I liked Tess and thought she was a great character. Her fears of coming madness weren't so much about herself as they were about what they would do to man she loves. She was an outwardly combative person who hid a very loving nature. Gabriel was also a great hero who is overcoming a difficult childhood. The only problem is that, every time he turns around, he seems to gather a new injury or two. Tess is as determined to keep him from harm as he is to protect her.

This is a fun alternative history series with all sorts of great characters.

Exile for Dreamers A Stranje House Novel Kathleen Baldwin Books Reviews

This series is so wonderful! It is full of suspense, intrigue, loving relationships, and what can be considered a family. A beautifully thought out story that was wonderful.
An intriguing, fun-filled, Regency romance, with the Stranje House women falling in love with men, who shockingly accept their talents and skills while adoring and enduring their independence. So far Tess and Lord Ravencross are my favorite couple released thus far!
I love these books. I've read the first 2 so far and I'm hooked. I love the characters, every single one. The girls are brilliant and Mrs Stranje is wonderful! I love the men who are introduced into their lives! I am really enjoying the timeline she has written for the stories! Wonderful books! Can't wait to read them all.

Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin

This is the second book in a young adult historical fiction/mystery series with a gothic feel to it. I enjoyed this book much more than book #1, which I liked but was a bit slow for me. In this book, the main focus is on Tess and her dreams, as well as his complicated relationship with Lord Ravencross. There is of course a storyline that involves political intrigue and danger for Tess and her friends. This was a very good read. I recommend this series.
Although Miss Stranje's Home for Girls appears on the outside to have promise to reform young rebels into well-behaved ladies, little do the British know that these girls are being groomed as spies to fight Napoleon and his henchmen. This second book in the Stranje House series features Tess, a smart athletic young woman who is learning all the tricks of the spy trade, and her dreams which reveal possible future events can aid the war effort--if she can live through the horror of them. Then, the affections of Lord Ravencross add heart-throbbing romance into this spy's life.
Baldwin has made her characters into living people. The dialogue is real and captures emotion and sometimes even brings laughter. The descriptions of lifestyle, inventions, clothing, books and food during Napoleon's time are vivid and based on good research. Well done, Kathleen! Can't wait for the next book!
Couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. No sophomoric slump with book #2. In fact, I thought it was better than the first book. The way the situations were dealt with seemed much more realistic. I loved the tension between Tess and Ravencross. Characters from the first book are back and a new character is introduced. Its the perfect blend of action, suspense, and romance. I very seldom read a book twice, but that is not going to be the case here! I highly recommend reading it.
Oh wow! This book was amazing. It is told from Tess Aubreyson's point of view and it has so many twists and turns that I had a hard time putting it down! In this story Tess is a "student" at Stranje House. She is supposedly at the boarding school to learn proper etiquette and such. In reality, she is there being trained as a spy. The ladies of Stranje House must keep Napoleon's spies from getting their hands on certain information and documents. Tess has the uncanny ability of prophetic dreams, which she rejects throughout the story. Lord Ravencross (Gabriel) is the hero of this story and I felt their connection was genuine. I loved watching Tess develop as a character, she softens up a bit, but still keeps her toughness. I am looking forward to the next novel in this series!
