Swans Book Review

This book was so good and I loved it so much.  +Lisa Kleypas  never disappoints with any of her books. Devon Ravenel has just inherited an earldom and while most men would be thrilled for the title, Devon was not one of them. His cousin fell from his horse and broke his neck and now Devon is saddled with a title he does not want.  Along with three nieces and one widow.  Since the estate is entitled and totally run-down, Devon can't sell it and wash his hands of it once and for all, so he has to buckle down and bring the place back to the glory that it once was. Too bad he has his cousin's sharp tongue widow to deal with every step of the way. A widow who seems determined to act like the best grieving widow ever, considering she's only been married to his cousin for three weeks. Cold Hearted Rake had me enthralled from the first page. Lisa Kleypas seem to have the magic touch when it comes to writing her books since most of her books are in my fav...

I was so happy to go back to Covent Garden Cubs Series to read about Brook and his lady love, which awesomely, is a Second Chance Love Novel. YEAH! Sir Brook Derring is England's best investigator.  Everyone seeks him out to solve their problems.  Brook is proud of his job and enjoys doing it too.  But when the Duke of Lennox asks Brook to find his daughter, Lady Lillian-Anne, Brook was shocked by the drive he feels to finish this job. It was a shock since one, he despises the Dike of Lennox and two, his daughter was the woman who rejected his offer of marriage in the harshest of ways.  Now Brook wants nothing more than to find Lady Lillian-Anne, return her to her father and wash his hands of the family once and for all. Lady Lillian-Anne Lennox has lived the life of the privileged. She never wanted for anything plus she is extremely beautiful, which made her very sought after on the marriage mart. But years of playing the same games with the same peo...

My American Duchess was so raw to read.  There were barely any sugar coatings and it got right down to the meat of the story.  I love this about Eloisa James, she gives you the barely talked about version of romance. The Duke of Trent wants to marry a respectable English woman that will live up to his standards of how a Duchess is supposed to act. He meets the perfect candidate for a wife at a party he very much did not want to attend.  She was a vision of beauty, standing my herself on the balcony.   He had the most interesting conversation he ever had with a woman and he knew then that he would have her, even if she had the misfortune of being an American. But faith seems to have forsaken him since the lady is already betrothed to none other than his twin brother.  Merry Pelford has already broken two engagements and it would be scandalous for her to break the third one. She chose her fiance for he seemed like a lovable man who would respect...

This story was barely believable but enjoyable to read.  I was confused most of the time but I also laughed a lot.  So by that estimate, the book was good to read. Ashton Blakely has got to be the most honest man in fiction history.  His approach to marriage was expressed down to the bottom line. The bottom line being, buying a wife. His aunt took it upon herself to choose a suitable bride for Ashton, but Ashton was not having it.  If he had to take a wife, he was taking her on his terms and his terms only. He even made a list for his aunt to follow in selecting the appropriate girls for him to choose from. Not only that, he also drew up a contract for his wife to sign, stating that after she conceived, she was to live in London and he would stay at his hunting lodge. Well, that was the plan until he met Caroline Hawkins. Caroline Hawkins wants the best for her sister, especially since her family is about to be bankrupt in the near future...

OH SWEET GOD this book was awesome. Technically this series is about the Princes of Oxenburg, but this book was so good, I can forgive that this book was starring an Oxenburg Princess. Having amnesia is not fun.  Having lost all memories of who you are or where you are is not anyone's idea of a fun time.  To make matters worse, was being hurt and having amnesia at the same time. Luckily you were able to find a kind couple who took you in.  They give you a place to stay and food to eat, and in return, you help them with chores around the house. Sounds like a great deal right. This is what happened to Tatiana Romanovin. She was grateful to the kind couple that took her in, but when she got back her memory, they started to think that she might be a little crazy. Tatiana remembered that she was a princess and she was on her way to her cousin's wedding when her carriage was attacked by a gang of ruffians.   Tatiana must send word to her cousi...

I love the cover of this and it's the cover that compelled me to pick up the book.  When I saw  +Lisa Kleypas 's name on the front cover, I was immediately sold and  I did not even read the description on the back of the book when I hurried over to the cash register. "We're strangers in the darkness," he whispered. "We'll never be together like this again." Zachary Bronson has built an empire of wealth and power, but all London knows he is not a gentleman. He needs a wife to secure his position in society—and the only one he wants is Lady Holly Taylor. Holly always intended to play by society's rules, even when they clashed with her bolder instincts. But now Zachary has made her a scandalous offer that calls to her bold side.   Should she abandon the principal she was born too and do something for herself?  Or are the rules of London to engraved in her to take on the challenge? This was a wonderful book about the strength, love...

Wow, this book takes you on a whirlwind of a ride. A man called Cupid is enough to make me laugh, but how this Cupid found love for himself, was so beautiful.

New York Times bestselling authors Sabrina Jeffries, Karen Hawkins, and Candace Camp, and USA TODAY bestselling author Meredith Duran come together for a sizzling historical romance holiday anthology. This book was an introduction to two authors I've not read before who goes by the names of Sabrina Jeffries and Meredith Duran.  I'm a huge fan of Karen Hawkins and Candace Camp and was giddy with excitement to read their short stories.  I've always heard of Sabrina Jeffries but I've not had the pleasure of reading her work  "The Heiress and the Hothead" .  Now after reading her short story, I want to read more.  Her story was fun and exciting. Especially the part where all the mistletoes seem to have disappeared . Of course, Karen Hawkins book had a starring hard-headed heroine in her story  "Twelve Kisses" , who listens to no one but herself and by that I mean her father. Of course, her stubbornness not only got  herself in trouble b...
