GoodReads Review


⭐⭐⭐⭐

Romance, clean; period romance


Marion and William's story was a lovely read. I do feel the first 2/3 of the novel was much stronger for me as a reader. The ending felt just slightly rushed. I think I would have wanted a bit more of them after all the dancing around each other that they did.  
Still, this was a lovely, sweet, novel. The romance and characters so very vividly portrayed.  Told from alternating points of view, it was truly fun to read their perceptions, moments, worries, thoughts, and sweet fall for each other from each of their perspectives.  The settings, characters and plot were well-drawn.
I do have one peeve, I don't think they would have put Marion in the bridal room with the connecting door prior to them being married, but that is just me. It was lovely seeing them both learn to see each other for who they really were, William a little sooner with his subterfuge early in the novel, and them both as they fell for each other as William worked through his grief, pain and concerns.

"The Indebted Earl" by Erica Vetsch

The Indebted Earl Serendipty and Secrets Book 3 Erica Vetsch GoodReads Review    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ Romance, clean, Regency; mild Christian faith elements Lovely romance with Captain Charles Wyvern and Lady Sophia (Sophie) told so well. While the plot was easy to guess, the specifics with sailing, the naval scenes, the war wounds, the situation with relatives, the wards, and the whole scope of the novel, was just so well put together, I didn't mind the easy guess as to where the plot was heading. Strong depictions of many of the supporting characters, and of the depth of Charles' naval situation, and his love of the sea, make for a stunning, and deeply moving portrait of a naval officer in a transition point of his career. Sophie's situation with her 'mother-in-law', her devotion to her and Rich's memory, reminded me of the story of Ruth from the Bible.  The grieving of many people in the novel for Major Richardson was also so well described and detailed. It was

 A Waterfront Wedding Heart's Landing Novel Book 3 Leigh Duncan GoodReads Review Romance, contemporary, clean; Series, but stand alone read ⭐⭐⭐⭑ I'm loving this series more each one I read. I love the genuine, honest hearts that are the main characters, and the people in the town, the couples getting married, just so beautifully drawn. Definitely sweet romance, and while it's a bit predictable, still this was so well described, the moments, the cares and concerns of the couples, their traumas, their dreams and heartaches. Sweet, fun, definitely fun to see the wedding portion of the book as the brides and grooms choose their Wedding in a Week moment. A perfect, light read with the caring hard working community. Wish we could all live in Hearts Landing!  Ryan and Evelyn's story, their deepening devotion to each other, and re-connection in the present after their childhood growing up together, was a lovely novel. The setting with the contest was fun, and spotli
