Very well written! I liked the humor and charm of the story. The age difference was a bit much, but acceptable none-the-less. Caitlyn is strong of heart and character, while Alexander is strong of character he is also strong of mind. Together these two clash, and while storm clouds rage and a wag...
One of the first in the Hurst series, I'm working my way backwards. It was a good romance, featuring Triona and Hugh MacLean who can control the weather with his temper. That alone could have been worked to be a more interesting angle for me, but bad ideas abounded instead, first with their simul...
Rating 2.5/5It's funny, I'll admit to that. And Rose was quite a forward 17th century heroine. But, I think I've grown fond towards working male leads...throughout the entire book all I could think about was how Sin did nothing but ride/play/scowl/pout/whine/argue. I also didn't like the fact tha...
It was a good read, especially the bet. Hilarious! Anyway, the story started from our hero, Alexander MacLean, who wanted to avenge his brother to Caitlyn, our heroine. The problem was told in the previous book, it seemed when Caitlyn wanted to trap Alexander to propose her, something happened an...

3.5 or 3.75 .. Actually this book was better than the first. I skipped the 2nd due to bad review and headed straight the one that attracted me to the series Hero & Heroine fall into a scheme that was meant for their siblings (His Brother/ Her Sister) Catriona is thoroughly compromised and Hugh mu...
No ha estado mal, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que, en realidad, no pasa nada en toda la novela. O muy poco. Casi todo pasa en el interior del castillo del protagonista y el conflicto que domina la narración es averiguar si ella es quien dice ser, ya que "su hermano" le ha advertido en una casa ...

Harika bir historical romandı..Yazarın ilk romanı Aşkına Talibim beni her ne kadar hayal kırıklığına uğrattıysa da yazarda yine de görmüş olduğum ışıltılar vardı..O yüzden yazara bir şans daha vermeye karar verdim...İlk önce roman 1.Elzabeth zamanıda geçiyor onu söylemeliyim..Ülkesi için casusluk...
Era el libro final de la serie, el que más ganas tenía de leer, con unos protagonistas que habíamos entrevisto en los restantes libros a través de las cartas que Hust enviaba a sus hermanos... y al final ha resultado ser el menos emocionante de todos, y teniendo en cuenta que en el primero la pro...
Wow great book it was hit or miss there for awhile with these two people, Marcail and William had a past so I figured when I found out it was a rocky past that they would not be able to work thing's out. And there for awhile I thought that they would not work it out, but in the end it did I' m so...

3.5 starsThis was a sweet new kind of Cinderella story. I loved the quirky heroine Bronwyn. She was bookish and an old 20 something, to old to marry according to her step-mother. And then one day she meets Alexsey, not knowing that he is a visiting prince. They meet and sparks fly, but part of th...
I really enjoyed this Beauty and the Beast story. Kirk and Dahlia have been neighbors for a long time, but never had much to do with each other. Kirk had married young, then lost his wife in a tragic accident that left him scarred and limping. Avoiding society and its stares has turned him in a g...
I wasn't too sure about this book. I love Karen Hawkins, her historicals to be more specific. Her first contemporary book didn't do it for me, so picking this one up was more of a curious act on my part. Would this book be any better than the first one or would it be more like her historicals tha...
It's not that I mind romances that have princesses as their main characters - it just bothers me when they are from invented European principalities between Bavaria and Switzerland (a Germanic region) but are given Russian names and accents. Nyet?This is a gossamer thin novella involving a snow-s...
I have a weakness for governess heroines. I love seeing children in stories, and watching as the governess transforms both the children and their guardian/parent. In historical romance, there seem to be literally thousands of such heroines. Luckily for me, I chose to start with this one. And man,...
I love author Karen Hawkins. Her books are almost always a fresh glimpse into days past, light and funny romances with a smattering of history that make me wish I was wearing a ball gown and dancing with an earl. This book, however, was something of a disappointment. Tristan Levanthe is the typic...
It's hardly the type of wedding Fiona MacLean dreamed of. No family, no guests, just a groom who's been dragged -- literally -- to the altar. But if marriage to Black Jack Kincaid, the handsome wastrel she'd sworn never to see again, will avert a bloody war between their clans, so be it. Surely s...
3 star - The First Kiss – Julia Quinn (Peter & Mathilda)It was a sweet story, but nothing really stood out. I liked the premise of the story and the end was really heartwarming, but the story itself was just ok since I felt the H/h were lackluster. I’m a big fan of Julia Quinn so I think I end up...
It is really difficult to write a review of a book that has stories from different authors. I chose to stick with the middle ground for this one because I didn't enjoy every story. One True Love by Suzanne Enoch - One starI've never been a huge fan of Ms. Enoch's, and this book brought ho...

There, it floated. Though the rain pelted it cruelly and the wind shoved it hither and yon, the little flower remained afloat. Though delicate in design, it was flawlessly strong in heart. —The Black Duke by Miss Mary Edgeworth Bronwyn wished for the tenth time that she we...
So this was the “wicked widow.” Despite the October chill, she wore neither bonnet nor gloves; rather than boots, she wore thin slippers, the sort one might wear to tea. He thought it highly likely that, in her determination to quickly come to her friend’s side, she’d barely remembered to don the...
All that angst collects in their liver and there it sits, spoilin’ away, causin’ all manner of sour looks and bad dispositions. Dawson, the Duke of Devonshire’s head footman, to Belvins, His Grace’s valet, as the two stood in line in the front hall awaiting His Grace’s arrival Verena struggled. “...
Herberts leaned forward, peering into the darkness. “‘Ere now! Are ye there?” Still no movement or sound appeared. Herberts cupped a hand about his mouth and yelled, “‘M’lord! Are ye asleepin’?” A faint moan was heard; but nothing more. “Of all the lazy gents!” Herberts stuck his head into the do...

The door behind her opened and she knew by her shiver who it was. Max came to stand behind her, close enough that if she leaned back only a little, she would touch him. So much had happened over the last few hours. Too much to comprehend. Spencer had indeed returned, bring...
You can return to the task later, when your mind is fresher. There are few difficulties which patience and hard work cannot overcome.

John is no better than any other man. It’s true, I suppose, that he is quite handsome. And everyone knows his family is both wealthy and well connected. I suppose it is also accurate that there is something charming about a man who knows his own value and is so very willing to appreciate yours. A...
Thus far, I have been assisting Sin by orchestrating less competition, making certain that he and Miss Balfour can catch a moment or two together (though I always protest it, as a good chaperone should), keeping the other guests busy so they do not intrude . . . All of this so that they might gro...
The inn was abuzz with voices and noises, while outside in the courtyard arose the whicker of horses and the thud of boots scuffling across the flagstones. The scent of ham and sausages wafted upstairs, and her stomach growled in return. The whole world was now awake, which was very different fro...
