"Rakes and Roses" Josi S. Kilpack

Mayfield Family Book 3 
Proper Romance

 


 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Romance, clean, period; series, but stand alone read


I think this is my favorite of all of this series. I know some readers may fault Harry's strength as a character, but I loved it! I loved how he was brought to his knees, how Lord Damion plays a part, and Lady Sabrina. Loved all the staff, the mystery surrounding Lord Damion and Harry's creditors. 


Saving Harry, Harry's recovery, and his rebirth as a new 'man', able to overcome his weaknesses, the person responsible for betraying him, so many twists and turns, but Lady Sabrina's tough love, kind care, and her growing feelings for this reborn man who softens her heart towards gentleman again (does she need a man?) as he values her for her and for herself, without guile, repairing her hurt heart and helping her 'live' again without fear, reprisals, and with hope for a future that isn't alone was a lovely read.


I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley for a fair and honest review. My opinions are my own.

"The Widows of Somerset" Timeless Romance Regency Collection

  The Widows of Somerset Timeless Romance Regency Collection GoodReads Review   ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, period; series, but stand alone read      Lovely regency period novella collection.  All told from alternating points of view.  It was nice to see both MC thoughts and feelings as they interacted and 'found' each other. Basic premise for all is woman widowed moving to Somerset and joining with Lady Joanna's society for widows to help them stand on their own, gain financial independence, and learn how to have more control over their finances and their futures. Plus, some great H in the mix too!       I loved RC first novella in the series. For me the strongest voice of this group of novellas in terms of voicing and consistent flow.  All of them had strong MC and some good side characters.  The setting and integrating Lady Joanna and the other widows in each story was cleverly done, and consistent betwee...

"Is It Any Wonder: A Nantucket Love Story" by Courtney Walsh

 Is It Any Wonder: A Nantucket Love Story Courtney Walsh GoodReads Review    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, contemporary; Christian faith elements Louisa/Lou and Cody's story, entangled in their past, and their families past, was masterfully told. Themes of faith, and forgiveness weigh heavily in this novel. It is a Romance too though, as they have shared a young love in the past that was so much a part of their lives growing up, and the tragedy that separated them as young adults leaving home after graduating from high school. A mistake of Louisa's, and near tragedy brings them together, and as they are put together through various events and circumstances, their hearts open to each other again. C.W. knows how to write troubles without them becoming so overly dramatic to be unbelievable in this novel. This is the perfect addition to this series. The sweet tender hearts, the angst and worry with all the family issues and personal issues, and of course, their working th...

Just a magical romance that has the depth and characters that will leave you wanting and waiting for more and wishing for more of them in some way to continue. This is one of the can't put down books. KLJ knows how to make you want for more.
