Can a Self-Proclaimed Spinster and A Emotionally Wounded Earl Find Happiness?

Just an enjoyable book that on the surface is another mindless romantic story of an independent woman before her time and a emotionally wounded man finding each other, overcoming their individual reluctance to commit themselves and managing to work their way to happiness. And yet, I could not help but be moved by the heartlessness of Sebastian's father and the strain of cruelty that ran through his family on his father's side. ( His mother , who died when he was young, obviously was a more warm-hearted and loving parent!) The struggle that Sebastian lived in order to prevent himself from continuing the cruelty was so enormous. That he succeeded and that he found, in Lizabeth, a woman as strong as he was every bit as satisfying as the light-hearted love story that is the main plot. I'm a convert and this series is one I shall persue. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

What Happens When Your Fictional Knight Steps Off the Page?

A Dash of Romance by Paullett Golden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a fun romp for an almost 100 degree day staying comfortably cool in an air-conditioned sitting room. What starts out as an irritation to a worldly London dandy and a horrible embarrassment to a quiet small town vicar's daughter turns into a warm and humorous relationship. Sometimes the man of one's dreams actually appears in one's life as a fully formed and confusing tease. Although the former is totally a product of the heroine's pen, the latter has a mind of his own and won't always do what is expected of him--how irritating!

Breaking the MacLaoch Curse

The Legend of Lady MacLaoch by Becky Banks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When she eloped with the man she loved, the Lady's male relatives killed him before her, brought her home and gave her to their chosen husband. She cursed them and all their descendants, but left room for the breaking of the curse. American, Cole Baker, finds herself at Castle MacLaoch researching she Scottish heritage. She also finds herself in the midst of the legend and curse. But how does she figure in all that history and what does it mean for her future?

A page turner of a mystery, two romances and maybe the breaking of the curse is filled with interesting and sometimes maniacal characters. Just a truly fun read
