Sarah Stuart is an award-winning author and a book reviewer for Readers’ Favorite. Her passions are theatre, music, wildlife, history, and travel, all of which come together in the Royal Command Family Saga. She writes because she enjoys it, and as a commitment to ecology, 100% of her royalties are donated to charities helping endangered species worldwide. Typically, this might be reforestation to provide suitable habitats.
The settings of her books, the Western Highlands of Scotland, London’s Theatre-Land, and Europe, are vivid; Sarah has lived, or spent a considerable time in these places. She uses insider knowledge gained from working in theatres to create the showbiz setting. 5-star Amazon review: “The characters are relatable and Sarah weaves a story linking them in ways that reveal their ambitions, weakness, pleasure and pain. And just as importantly, the love and support they offer one another. Sarah also deals with the issue of forbidden love, presenting it in a way that has the pages flying by as hitherto perfect love is put to the test by close, interconnecting relationships crossing boundaries that threaten to ruin not only careers, but friendship and family. And she does it all in a crisp, elegant style that is her very own.” Her fifth book, Three Against the World: A Waif, a Stray, and the Search for Romance, is totally different, though it does reflect her love for dogs. It's a clean love story full of suspense that is suitable for 14+ and up.

Romantic Suspense
READERS' FAVORITE ROMANCE/SIZZLE BRONZE MEDAL WINNER Lizzie falls in love with Michael and helps him become a showbiz superstar. Their eighteen-year-old daughter, talented actress Lisette, seduces Michael.

Sweeping from a shooting estate in the Western Highlands of Scotland to London’s West End and the production of two musicals, this novel contains authentic fictional insider stories of two very different contemporary worlds. The thread running through the Royal Command books is a secret diary first owned by Margaret Tudor, James IV of Scotland’s queen, which has been passed down an illegitimate female line for almost five centuries. It contains these words: I direct and beseech my heirs to find love where they may; a dangerous command that sounds so very innocent. Dangerous Liaisons Reviews
