THE SECRETS OF SIR RICHARD KENWORTHY by Julia Quinn

I enjoyed this book very much.  There was a secret and I seriously had no clue as to what it was until it was actually revealed.  I felt such pain to be decieved, even though I'm not the one that was wronged.

Sir Richard Kenworthy is in desperate need of a bride. Nobody fully knows why, but he just does.  For this to happen, he has to engage the most desperate of all the available ladies on the market.  

His quest brings him to the Smythe-Smith family, where he met his diamond in the rough.  No, he did not fall in love, he just found the the most acceptable desperate lady, he needs.

With only one look at her, even with her washed out coloring, he knew that he has found the answer to his problem.

Isis Smythe-Smith is more intelligent than she lets on. She is an observer and with this skill, she reads people and their intentions simply by the way they act.

It helps that she has a pale complexion and a seemingly sly wit that helps her blend into the background, which is just the way she likes it. Observing people is her favorite hobby, so it came as a great frustration when Sir Richard Kenworthy show interest in her out off the blue.

The two instantly hit it off, but Isis was always suspicious, wondering just what is he up too.  After only a week in each other's company, Richard ask's for her hand in marriage. 

Would Isis accept, knowing that Richard has an ulterior motive for marrying her?  Or would she be so delighted that someone has finally offered to marry her that she accepts?  Only way to find out is to read the book.

I enjoy reading Julia Quinn's books.  They are always fun and diabolical. I should be mad that she made me like someone who I know I was going to despise later down in the book, but she did it in such a good way that I could not help but like Richard.

You see, there was a secret that Richard has and he needs Isis to help him with it.  The only problem is, the secret is a huge one and will effect the lives of everyone involved, or involved by extension, and Isis is the key to help sweep it under the rug.

I almost arrived at the ending of the book before the big secret was revealed and I felt a blow to my heart when the secret came to light, I was shocked and appalled, and Richard did not handle the falling out very well.  In fact, he was horrible at it.

It should be annoying that the author waited until she almost reached the ending before saying what the secret was, and usually you would be right.  This time it was different, the anticipation and the events that seem like the secret was finally going to be revealed only to have something interrupt the moment.

(SIGH) My heart was pounding just by reading this book.  Readers! This is definitely a book worth buying and when you do...


HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can.

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
