The book was okay. But especially in the beginning I had some trouble keeping track of who was saying what. The story in itself wasn't bad although it was obviously not very realistic as these stories often are. What bothered me was the boring dialog between h and H and how uninteresting the hero...
This was a sweet, quick read. I thought Tom's clumsiness was a little over the top and the fact that Jessica jumped from one fiancé to another after knowing Tom for only a brief time was unrealistic, but considering the book was less than 100 pages, I understand the need for such expediency. No h...
Not a bad premise but they fell in love in 2 weeks and actually had a "wedding night" after being together 1 week.Some of the details did not seem to be correct for the time frame, and even though I read the accompanying novel, I had no idea that the wedding night scene would be so graphic. I wil...
This is the first book I read by Ruth Ann Nordin. I stopped reading it at chapter 4 because it didn't keep my interest & I found it kind of boring. The reason why I gave it 2 stars because I believe it could have been a good romance book without the time travel stuff. I am happy i was free becaus...
Some Spoilers. Nilo an comes from a planet where women are extinct. So he goes to a universal wish agency to find a mate from a compatible species. Armed with a new name, Chris West , earth money, proper I.D. and a pamphlet about women (he's never seen one) he arrives outside his chosen mate's...
This was a story with a gentle plot which made it a refreshing change to tuck in amongst the more weightier dramatic plotted stories that I've been reading lately. Not to say that there is no conflict! There is that, but its resolution happens without an undue amount of angst because the two ma...
Four StarsFormer prostitute & a handsome mute. I admit, I'm intrigued :)Read this in less than a day. It was surprisingly good and I really loved our Hero, John. He was so sweet and kind. I hated how some people treated him just because he was mute. Eliza and he made such a adorable couple. There...
Wonderful original story by Ruth Ann Nordin. I loved it, from the arranged marriage to Ben & Zack. This story shows both ends of the spectrum. It kept me turning the pages one after another. I completely recommend this story to 13+ (due to one scene at end)I so hope that one day we will get a...

This book is really lightweight compared to the excellent Eye of the Beholder and good His Redeeming BrideOwen starts well, helping his aunt, but soon the story becomes quite farcical. While I really liked the relationship between Owen and Jenny and her little boy, there was no real depth to any ...
Another wonderful story from Ruth Ann Nordin. From what I have read, she is one of my favorite authors when it comes to imaginative story line. This story is no different. Who thinks about interviewing for a wife in this day and age? This of course, led into some interesting interactions ...I...

She expected Lord Mason to leave, but he didn’t. He turned in time to see the carriage and headed for the front entrance. Her grip tightened on the reticule resting in her lap. “What’s wrong?” Jason asked, peering out the window to see what caught her attention. &n...
“Of course, I do. What Lou did was awful, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about you. You’re my wife, and I care about you.” Blinking back her tears, she smiled and whispered, “I care about you, too.” Nora cal ed out for her mother, so Joel gave her a quick kiss. “As much as I was hoping to g...
The cottage was hidden by trees, so she could only guess what it looked like. The paint on the building and barn was chipping, and weeds and vines were creeping up along them. It almost seemed as if no one had inhabited the place for years. “What do you think, Caleb?” she whispered to the boy on ...
He’d taken as many breaks as he’d dared without risking the health of the animals and the well-being of his servants. He could tell by the way the coachman and footman lumbered into the restaurant of the inn that they were exhausted. They’d been good sports, though, never voicing a single complai...
She glanced at Amata in excitement and set the spoon down from the pot where she’d been stirring their food. “Where is he?” she asked Citlali’s brother who’d come into the lodge to make the announcement. “He’s in the chief’s lodge,” he replied. “He didn’t come alone. He brought a white couple wit...
Ethan asked Christopher who groaned. “Are you upset because Agatha’s sister accepted your cousin’s proposal?” “No.” Christopher didn’t move from where he was reclining on the settee in Ethan’s library, a book lying on the table beside him, unread. “Have you ever done something you later wished yo...
She made sure the manor was far away enough so that no one would see her. It was silly to worry, she supposed. No one had been the wiser when Toby stepped into the stream. She had been curious about what it would be like to feel the cool water on her feet. Toby seemed to enjoy it, and while he’d ...
She’d given herself permission to go to the seamstress’ after her appointment with Helena, so she could get started on her wedding gown. There had been an inner debate for a good five minutes over whether or not she should get a special gown, and in the end, hope won out. She’d decided from here ...
They walked amazingly fast for a group of people who wore soft-soled shoes. Her own hard-soled boots should have been better than their shoes against the rough terrain, but she reasoned they were used to walking on rocks, twigs and tree roots. Jaz, Falon, and Athen kept up with the Nicals’ pace w...
Chloe said, her face turning a lovely shade of pink as she stepped into the water. Orlando smiled from where he stood, waist-deep in the lake. She had been reluctant to get into the water until he removed his clothes and got in to show her it was all right. But truth be t...
When Blackheart wasn’t around, the guard was her ever faithful companion, and from what she could see, he didn’t even blink. He stared at her, as if he was afraid she’d suddenly disappear. Blackheart could say all he wanted about him not being a villain, but it was obvious that his men showed a h...
Danette could tell right away her friend was excited about something, but it wasn’t until Leonard was eating a tart that Regan finally told her what was on her mind. “I’m with child,” Regan burst out once she finished sipping her tea. Danette’s eyes widened. “So soon?” “Well, it only takes one ti...
He sighed and rubbed his eyes. The day had been a long one, and tonight, he would have to fly out to Area 51. First, he had to talk to Autumn and find out what she spoke to in that hallway. Something about it was important. He sensed it was the key to what he’d been desperately searching for but ...
He kept pinching himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming, sure he’d end up in his townhouse in bed. But instead, he took her to the priest and they said their vows in a small cottage. Even if the ceremony wasn’t one similar to what his ward Christopher had had, everything about it was perfect. ...
What was she supposed to do without her sister? Marianne was the one person who understood and loved her through all the hardships in her life. It was their parents’ deaths that brought them close. And now her heart ached with an emptiness that even their parents’ passing hadn’t caused. She close...
She took a moment to peek into the living room where Tyler was playing cards with her dad, two uncles, and three cousins. He glanced over at her, and she shot him an uncertain smile, wondering if he’d ever forgive her for dragging him all the way up here to deal with her family. By the smile on h...
Rose asked. Kent looked at the gentle slope of the field that went to the river that ran through the Larsons’ property. Despite the heat of the day, the wind made it bearable, but even so, he had no idea how Dave and his sons managed to be out in the sun when it was beating down on them. He glanc...
He carried the carpet bag which held enough of their things for the weekend visit with Erin. Julia couldn’t wait to see her aunt. Though Chogan’s family had welcomed her and made her feel at home in their lodge, she missed her aunt. There was a connection she and her aunt shared that no one else ...
She was beginning to understand why they had put so many steps in the side of the mountain. They didn’t like to be disturbed unless it was important, so they purposely made the journey to their home long and physically exhausting. “Now I know why Leader Paff didn’t send out a search party until f...
Katie said as she opened the front door to let Grace, Dave and Maryinto her two-story house. “You’re more than welcome to stay.” “Thank you,” Grace replied and stepped into the house. Mary fol owed Dave who carried their luggage. It was just her luck that Katie happened to bethe only relative who...
Phoebe frowned as she turned the gun over in her hands. “What’s wrong?” he asked, checking to make sure there were enough bullets in the sack. “I thought it’d be bigger,” she said. She gestured to the gun rack on the wall. “Like that one.” His gaze went to the rifle before he looked back at her. ...
Jake was still shocked the man from Italy had indeed remembered his phone number and address. It was as if the man had a pristine memory. The description William had written of the man on the piece of paper was all Jake needed to spot him in the crowded airport. The man wore all white. Even his h...
