". . . an excellent debut book . . .
Ms. Schwab gave such detailed descriptions
of the estates, gardens and people
that I felt as if I knew them myself."

"Darkly sensual, intense, yet with a searing passion,
this is a tale for those yearning for the alpha-male hero
and the heated desire that springs up on the edge between love and hate.
Schwab knows how to play into erotic romance lore
and pulls all the right strings to stir readers' imaginations.
She is a welcome new voice in the genre."

"THE LILY BRAND is a remarkable extremely dark Regency romance.
The metamorphosis of the lead couple is brilliantly developed
so that the audience can feel the changes
from rage and shame to respect and love."

"Strange and touching, beautiful and horrific at the same time,
THE LILY BRAND is a book unlike any other. . .
[It]'s also one of the best stories
I feel thankful to have read.

"Reading the first chapters of Sandra Schwab’s debut
one might be tempted to call this an overly dark tale.
But read further and you get to explore
a lighter site, never losing its intensity.
The historical details are well researched and plentiful,
but never intrude on the story and the characters.
Characters that I won’t forget so soon.
A tortured hero and heroine strong enough to be by his side.
Sandra Schwab’s command of the English language is breathtaking.
Eloquent and often very poetic,
The Lily Brand is an exceptional debut . . ."

"The Lily Brand is a most unexpected read.
While I was disinterested in all the Regencys
that have been coming out lately,
I was pleasantly surprised to find
that The Lily Brand stands out among them.
From the moment we meet Troy in the prison,
to the process of healing that both Lillian and Troy had to go through
and what they had to overcome,
this novel left its mark upon me."

Debut author Sandra Schwab has penned
a very dark but emotional romance read
that will captivate the reader. . . .
Ms. Schwab has created wonderful characters
and has taken care in fleshing out the storyline
that the reader will surely enjoy.
Secondary characters are a wonderful light addition to this story
that would otherwise be too overwhelming.
I look forward to reading Ms. Schwab again in the future."
