Then her aunt sends her to live with another aunt in Ireland.Years go by and Lily gets a letter telling her that she is the new Countess of Ashwood. Now, Lily doe...
I liked this book but I had issues with it as well. I kept waiting for something to happen between the h/h who actively disliked each other. It took over half the book for any sort of romance or for anything to really happen regarding the mystery they were trying to solve. I also felt that Decl...
I wanted to like this book, and I usually enjoy Julia London's books, though I do prefer her contemporary to the historical.Mostly, it just didn't grab me. The hero and heroine were forced into a handfasting (temporary marriage of a year and a day) by her uncle, and it takes far too long before ...
The story was about Jack and the naughty rebel Lizzie and their adventure to free themselves from a contract married. And as HR always do..they're felt in love during the period of their unwilling marriage.For me , the story was a little bit confusing , and with too many adventures and horses......
While this prolific author has written quite a number of books, this book will have been my first by her. From what I can tell, it looks like Ms. London writes primarily historical romance which explains why I haven't read her before. (Not my cuppa tea.) However, this book, the first of the "Ov...
This was the first book I've read by Julia. It was slow at first and I put it down for a few days but then I came back and it really was a pleasant read. I loved the feisty Lily and how she challenged Tobin at every turn. I didn't understand why he was putting himself through all this pain and mi...

He has spent the last 15 years building his wealth and plotting revenge.Of course, his hardened heart is ...
I enjoyed this story, the characters were entertaining and the plot was fast-paced and interesting. The prejudices of London society really come to light in this novel, although the female protagonist Honor does her best to shun them. However, as the male protagonist George points out--when you h...
Rating 4.5/5Honor Cabot is one of the most tenaciously vibrant characters that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. When you couple her sheer star quality with the rakish charm, good looks, and tragic past of one George Easton, and you have romantic gold.The chemistry between George and Honor...
Their relationship doesn't seem to take off until the end. I did enjoy the way the book was completed (disregarding the epilogue) more than most, even if it was rushed a bit. Daria and Mamie were irritating. Mamie was OBVIOUSLY hiding something and Daria didn't pursue it enough at the get-go. Dar...
Macy is told her husband, Finn, died in Afghanistan and finally allows herself to move on with her life. She remarries and then finds out her first husband didn't die. I thought the author did a great job portraying the emotions of all the characters as they dealt with the return of Finn. Macy ...
While a great idea, it loses steam very quickly as the leading lady debates about what to do.Here are my gripes:*Macy - Whingey, had no sympathy for her and she treated both men like garbage. There is more but I don't think I am permitted to type such language on Goodreads.*Finn - Forget about Ma...
I have roughly two hundred dead tree books "left" on my TBR pile and it's one of my goals in 2013 to severely reduce that pile. Julia London has been one of my auto-read authors for a long time now, and as with all writers some books are fabulous while others encourage yawning and skipping pages....
Gosh, did this book make me uncomfortable. I'm a true fan of the nice romance or the steamy bodice ripper; I slum with the best of them and came out as a Harlequin reader back during the 60's when it was not in the least politically correct. So it isn't that I was seeking Serious Literature and g...
Living on the edge is nothing to the men who started Thrillseekers Anonymous, a members-only adventure service that caters to the rich and famous. But "extreme sports" takes on a whole new meaning for former CIA operative Michael Raney. Hollywood's most notorious bachelor will have to mend his wa...

He’d thought a lot about the script, had put some notes together for the producer and sent it back through his agent. “So let’s present this to her together,” Phil said. “Next month,” Brennan said. “Give me another month.” Phil groused about it, but Brennan wasn’t ready to return to his life just...
She did not want to be rescued. What she wanted, with a strength that squeezed the breath from her, was for Jamie to make love to her. Madness. She was filled with madness. She stood on the edge of ruin as it was, but to invite the final push off the cliff? “Who?” she asked angrily. “English.” Ja...
She’d enjoyed one of the best Christmas feasts she’d ever attended, in this cottage, with this family who’d been strangers to her yesterday and were now dear friends. And, surprisingly, with Duncan Buchanan. She simply must be mad. Of course, she’d been shocked to discover who he was, that she co...

Madeline slammed the car door and stomped in her wet pumps into the lobby of Grizzly Lodge. Why did she agree to stay? A week? Who had a week? She had clients and listings.… Okay. Maybe, just maybe, she was more intrigued with Luke Kendrick than she would ever admit to anyone, and especially not ...
Lisa stood up with Kate, wearing a lovely off-the-shoulder lavender gown, which Lisa proclaimed too plain and too predictable. The reception was held at a new venue: an industrial building that had been transformed inside to look like an art museum. Or maybe it was an art museum. Joe had lost tra...
Which—if anyone was keeping score, and Audrey was fairly certain that every member of the band was doing just that—was pushed back two hours because of her late arrival. The looks she got were not exactly smiles. She didn’t know what to say or do, really—she could hardly tell them she’d been in b...
To her older sister Olivia—the Marchioness of Carey—it felt as if the two of them had slowly been proceeding toward the gallows, one leaden step at a time. “Buck up, Miranda,” Olivia murmured, pulling her younger sister closer into her side. “There is nothing to be done for it. You must face up t...
Especially shoes that could not be relied upon to carry a person ten pain-free blocks. Frankly, it was an obscene amount of money for shoes that did nothing but look good. But oh, how they looked good. They were bronze Manolo Blahnik pointy-toe pump...
She and Roan lay in each other’s arms, exploring each other’s bodies and making love into the morning hours. She’d slept fitfully and awoke when the sun began to spill in through the small window of their room. She groaned, wrinkling her nose. What was that smell? Ah, yes....
Carlson had tried in vain to direct him to a hot bath, but Tobin had stood aboard ship decks in far worse weather and did not require that sort of pampering. What he required was a stiff drink. He paced before the roaring hearth with a brandy snifter dangling between two fingers. He was conflicte...
