Calling all historical fiction lovers - here's a giveaway for you! The Last Romanov by Dora Levy Mossanen.
"Even now in 2012, one of the greatest mysteries has been the fate of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov of Russia, the last of four daughters born to the Tsar Nikolas and his wife Alexandra. After the tragic execution of the Russian Royal family in1918, officials were never able to recover the remains of Anastasia. Tales of her supposed escape from Russia have gripped thousands for decades, fueling speculation that a daughter of Russia’s last sovereign ruler survived the revolution that destroyed her immediate family.
June 18th marks what would be the 111th birthday of Her Imperial Highness Anastasia Romanov."
The Last Romanov:
"In a time of Rasputin's magic and Romanov mystery, a young girl finds herself at the heart of the Royal Family...
She was an orphan, ushered into the royal palace on the prayers of her majesty. Yet, decades later, her time spent in the embrace of the Romanovs haunts her still. Is she responsible for those murderous events that changed everything?
If only she can find the heir, maybe she can put together the broken pieces of her own past-maybe she can hold on to the love she found. Bursting to life with the rich and glorious marvels of Imperial Russia, The Last Romanov is a magical tale of second chances and royal blood."
Read an excerpt of The Last Romanov.

I was excited when I saw the title of this book on your blog and even more excited after I read your review. Years ago I read a biography of Tsar Nicholas and Alexandra and ever since I've been 'hooked' on this family. I hope to get to Russia, St. Petersburg and more some day, too.
Thank you for a terrific review and the giveaway. Please include me in it!
