  Snowed In For Christmas   A Fun Feel-Good Holiday Romance Novel by Kimberly Krey GoodReads Review  ⭐⭐⭐✯ Romance, clean, contemporary Cute, light, clean contemporary romance. This was more of a 3.5 for me as a reader, still a very good rating for me. Strong story line, great characters, and fun setting. Cute premise for the story, and my favorite kind of characters, honest hearts, caring, and perfect HEA for them. Easton was a great character, loved his backstory, and his worries, concerns, and of course his strengths.  I loved how things that both he and Ivy did helped them come together. Those small moments that make their coming together magical and lovely.  The tree, the injury, the moments they had that made such a sweet, perfect, attraction and fall.  This is a perfect escape read, with some great, honest, characters with heartfelt emotions, a fun setting and back story.  I received an ARC from the author in exchange for a fair and honest revie...

 A Revolution of Hearts Ronda Gibb Hinrichsen GoodReads Review     ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Romance, clean, period Dacia de Prideaux and Mr. Richard Harris' story is one of intrigue and every day life. As Dacia seeks to hide after being framed for the murder of her brother she is put in the care of Richard Harris, wealthy English landowner and member of Sir Percy’s league of gentleman heroes, who has been assigned to protect Dacia. Hiding her in plain sight and masquerading her as a housemaid at his estate. The opening scenes are harrowing and intense, and then it moves to the every day as Dacia pretends to be a housemaid after living a well-to-do life.  Their moments as Dacia steps into her new role, unexpected, and honest and genuine were a stark contrast to the beginning of the novel. This central portion of the novel is much more tame and everyday mundane, but leading to genuine attraction, affection, and deeper feelings for them both. Dacia's growth and insights into...

WIN a copy of A Revolution of Hearts by Ronda Gibb Hinrichsen Read my review HERE   a Rafflecopter giveaway ;     Excerpt: Paris April 20, 1789   S oon I will meet with the love of my life, Dacia de Prideaux thought as their driver stopped the carriage in front of Paris’s celebrated theater, la Comédie-Française. Marcel, Dacia de Prideaux’s brother, cracked open the carriage door. Cold wind gusted inside against the carriage’s back wall even as rain plastered it from the outside. Dacia hunched her shoulders, shielding herself from the cold, and touched her hairline at the base of her neck. So far, her pouf hairstyle—including the glass star-shaped jewels her lady’s maid had added to represent what she had called un beau ciel blond, a lovely blond sky—had withstood the weather. “I fear even the umbrella will do us little good in this weather,” Marcel said. “We must rush for the entrance.” Dacia hugged Sunna, her pet bichon, against her ch...

  The Nobleman's Daughter Jen Geigle Johnson GoodReads Review      ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, period; Lady Amanda and Lord Nathaniel's story was so well done! The historical backdrop to this period romance made it all the more real and intriguing.  JGJ did such a wonderful job putting a face on the upheaval and societal change happening at this time.  Lady Amanda who tried in so many various ways to help those she saw who were struggling after 'awakening' to their plight was foiled so well by Lord Nathaniel.  I loved all the interactions with their servants (and friends), and the settings at the rallies and her parent's backstory that helped lay the foundation for some of the action in this novel.  Amanda and Nathaniel's budding attraction as she tries to keep her actions secret and away from the eyes of the ton throw them together after she unwittingly puts Lord Nathaniel into society's glare after a conversation in a shop with some other women. As the...

 Autumn Skies A Bluebell Inn Romance Book 3 Denise Hunter GoodReads Review     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ Romance, clean, contemporary, Christian; Series, but stand alone read Grace and Wyatt's story was the perfect ending to this series. Strong characters, emotions, and events that are so well described you can feel the emotions, angst, and the romance so strongly. So well done. Grace's past, and her hopeful present come together along with bits from her other siblings that make this perfect as the latest installment in this series.  Wyatt was such a great conflicted hero. His present and past, both catching up with him, and his story line being the introduction to the story was a perfect start to this novel. The other characters introduced from his past made me so curious!! Totally hoping for a spin-off for his good friend! (side note there). The chemistry that was the turning point for Wyatt, was such a moment. He and Grace were so perfect together, their fall so well done...

  On the Run Guardians Book 4 Traci Hunter Abramson GoodReads Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐✯ Romance, clean, suspense; series but stand alone read Elle Jameson's suspicion of a crime as she works undercover at an Air Force base abroad. Her subsequent rescue by The Guardians has her running and trying to escape danger with Ghost/Nolan to try to keep her secrets safe and undercover who is involved and behind the murder of her sister and what is going to be done with the secrets she has uncovered. Perfect blend of intense action, moments of digging to uncover the secrets and connections to the criminals, and of course, the attraction between Elle and Nolan. Loved seeing glimpses of other characters from past novels to support the story line in this one. Perfectly paced and detailed, and loved all subterfuge, action, and ov course the romance. Great characters, side characters, and perfect setting abroad after the previous novel set in the US. T.H.A. knows how to right fun, fast paced, acti...

 Brass Carriages and Glass Hearts Proper Romance Steampunk 4 Nancy Campbell Allen GoodReads Review  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean; Steampunk; Series but stand alone read This was by far my favorite of this series so far! All the elements really came together well, the story had excellent pacing and just felt so engrossed in this world! Emmaline and Oliver's story was the best of the series for me as a reader.  Emme and Oliver, thrown together for him to provide protection for her after she receives some threats begins as strong mutual dislike based on their past history. Their gradual warming up to each other as they spend time together and work together to keep Emme safe and able to make her presentation that is so important to change their society and influence votes on a very important legislation is fraught with upset, delays, drama, and dangers.  Oliver proves himself over and over again, and Emme as well, and they both realize not only that they work well together, but t...
