Swans Book Review

I had this book on my Kindle app for the longest while, waiting for when I have time between work or school to start it, and I completely forgot about it. Forgive me  +Karen Hawkins . Alisa MacKenzie has a problem. The problem is not that her father has put her in charge of the castle, the problem lies with gaining the trust of the people who work on it. Men do not take kindly to taking orders from a woman, and Alisa has to work hard in order to gain their favour so that they will not be against listening to her. She has reached a long way in gaining their trust until something goes horribly wrong. Natasha Romanovin a Russian Duchess and grandmother to the crown prince have been kidnapped along with a neighbour of theirs. Now Alisa must prove to her staff that she is the right person to lead them by getting back the prisoners as soon as possible and try not to start a clan war in the process. Everything was going as planned until Prince Nikolai comes to...

I really liked this book.  The chemistry between the two were instant and the kiss at first sight just made everything much more interesting. Zoe Stone is a pilot for hire who practically raised her brother and sister by herself while their parents traveled all over the world. Being both parents to her siblings has put a big dent in her dating life.  Putting herself out there, Zoe took some advice from her sister to mix things up and kiss her blind date as soon as she opens the door. Unfortunately, Zoe ended up kissing the wrong man. Instead, of her blind date ( who stood her up ) she kissed her bother's friend Parker.  The same friend Zoe promised to let stay at the house for a week. Mortified by her behavior, Zoe tried to stay out of his way, but with Parker's magnetic personality and his ability to get under her skin, Zoe finds herself wanting to jump him instead. The spark between the two intensifies when Parker hires her to fly him around the ...

This book was a big let down for me.  The title was promising, so was the cover.  Even the description of the book got to me and then when it got down to actually reading the book, I got a headache.  Here's why. Lady Georgiana was tricked out of her virginity.  Yes, it's the classic story of girl falls in love with boy, boy makes her many promises, girl gives up her cookies, boy says thanks and goes on his way. That was not the end of it.  Georgiana gets pregnant from that one time and she was shunned from the ton.  In her shame she fled, only to come back for whatever reason. Vowing to avenge herself, Georgiana creates a new identity named Chase, that many in London fear but must never know the true identity of. Georgiana wants to crush everyone that has ever treated her wrongly, and to do that, she must get their secrets. Ten years later, things were going well.  She built a club with the entrance fee being giving up one ...

Follow my blog with Bloglovin This book was different from the others in the series, and it was nice to see that it was different in a good way. Lady Jane has been dealt an unfair mark in her life.  Wanted for killing her husband, she had no choice but to flee and hide herself from sight.  With only the help from an elderly gentleman, Lady Jane is forced to fend for herself away from civilization, until her name is cleared or forgotten. All that changed when a huge, hunk of a man stumbles into her cottages, during a storm.  Before she could even say a thing, he collapsed on the floor. Seeing that he wore a plaid, she knew that he was an Highlander, but seeing as he was very large, and she very little, there was nothing much she can do with him. So she armed herself and waited for him to wake. Laird Alexander has lost his pride and his wife. Blaming himself for her death, he takes a foolish risk and goes sailing without a crew, trying to outrun his demons. Wh...

Who loves fairy tales? I know I do and I watch them all the time with me niece and they are great.  But what's even better than a fairy tale is a book about one.  The Prince Who Loved Me by +Karen Hawkins  is about probably the most famous fairy tale of them all, Cinderella. Bronwyn Murdoch was sitting in her spot.  Under a tree in a clearing surrounded by her two dogs,  enthralled by the book in her hands.  So compelling was Roland, the male character in the book, that when her dogs gave a bark of warning, she raised her head and thought that Roland has stepped outside of his book into the real world. In order for Prince Aleksey Romanovin to claim his birthright, he must follow the rules of his grandmother, Grand Duchess Natasha.  To win his birthright, he must go to Scotland with his grandmother and find a proper bride for a Prince.   Not one who likes to do as he's told ( he's a Prince, what did she expect ), Aleksey is determined to f...
