Okies, it's about 3.5 stars, but I'll round up. It was a light and fluffy regency, without the sharp barbs of Connie Brockway or the quick wit of Eloisa James, but more readable than much of the fare. I'd probably shelve it beside Jennifer McQuiston.The story: Ellie Bowman has been friends with ...
Can I just say I love Sally MacKenzie? I read her Naked Nobility series and read this one next. Her books are just fun stories. They always make me laugh.Ned is a widower who is still grieving after 4 years who has decided that he needs to move on. Nell is a woman who has been pining away for...
This was a freebie on Amazon by an author I haven't read before. Overall, it was a quick read and an easy way to spend a few hours. But, other than that, it was very Meh. It has a few cliche plot devices (identity switch, matchmaker who falls in love, meddlesome other women who want the men for t...
★★★½.A nice novella introducing us to the Duke of Greycliffe and the Vicar's daughter Venus Collingswood.Drew became a duke at age 13 when the males in his family died in a fire. Since then he was inundated with people wanting to be acquainted with "the Duke", not Drew the boy/man.When Venus mist...
J’appréhendais. Comme je n’avais pas aimé le premier tome, je me suis quand même demandé si ça valait la peine de tenter le deuxième (oui, oui, je ne me contente pas de cliquer sur A*****, je pèse le pour et le contre avant de les acheter ;- ) ).Et bien, j’ai bien fait de l’acheter car j’ai beauc...

Selesai juga akhirnya gw baca nih buku, lumayan lama juga berhub byk nyambinya ;p. Over all, gw suka baca buku ini, byk kejadian lucu yg mewarnai jln cerita buku ini. Diakhir bab, jadi keinget buku JL - Secret fire krn ada kejadian yg berhub dgn obat perangsang. Lucu jg ngebaca reaksi si tokoh co...
Baca bab-bab awal novel ini agak skeptis, bisa se-seru apa novel ini kalo awal pertemuan kedua tokoh utama -- Stephen & Anne -- sebegitu nyaaaaaa..... uuughh... belum apa2 sudah skandal...hmm... skandal cetek sih... dan harusnya bisa dibilang gak ada apa-apanya....tapi itulah kerennya jadi penuli...
เรื่องนี้เข้าข่าย "น่าเสียดาย" สำหรับเราค่ะ คือช่วงต้นเรื่องน่าสนใจมาก พล็อตเรื่องไม่มีอะไร เล่าถึงลอร์คแจ๊ค บุตรชายคนเล็กของดยุค คนที่ต้องการอ่านเรื่องราวที่พระเอกไม่มีปมในใจ ไม่ทนทุกข์ แจ๊คเข้าข่ายนั้นค่ะ มากไปกว่านั้น เขาเป็นคนดีแสนดี ชอบช่วยเหลือเด็กและสตรีที่อยู่ในอันตราย เรียกว่า เป็นนักบุญ...
Sally MacKenzie has a way with tension that makes you keep reading a book from cover to cover. I couldn't put down LOVING LORD ASH because after every chapter I just had to know what would happen next. I was sorry to see this end of the series, but I'm hoping she'll include the Duchess of Love as...
He hadn’t rowed in far too long. When he visited his estates later this summer, he’d take a boat out. Perhaps he’d do some fishing, too. He studied the little group in the stern. Stephen sat still, clearly trying very hard to behave. Too hard. He might be naturally cautious—Eleanor had been cauti...
—Venus’s Love Notes “Yes.” Jack sounded angry, not shocked or surprised, and he carried the bundle securely as if he’d handled infants before. “A boy—he looks to be a month or two old. He’s lucky the dog was here or he would have frozen to death. Come with me.” She hurried after him, the dog foll...
It was a tight squeeze.“Ye can go inside with yer lady, milord,” Darby, the coachman, said for the fourth time. “I don’t mind the dog, and now that he’s out in the open, he seems fine.”“Thank you, but I feel better keeping an eye on him myself.” And keeping an eye on Darby. He’d swear the fellow ...
Jo consulted the clock for the fifth time in as many minutes. She’d been hiding in her room for two hours, ever since Blind Man’s Bluff had become too dangerous. The various blind men—and women—had taken the role as an opportunity to run their hands all over whomever they caught, exploring the mo...
William left a week ago, and I have not been able to stop crying. I am so miserable even my courses are affected. They are several days—or perhaps a week—late. —from Belle Frost’s diary January 1817 “Try again, Walter.” William smiled as encouragingly as he could. Walter Hutting, the twelve- (o...
Motton must have been startled by her sudden movement, because he loosened his grip. That was all she needed. She’d learned early, playing with John and Stephen, to take any opening she was given. In a flash, she’d twisted her wrist and broken free. She fell to her hands and knees to peer under t...
Emma pushed her sister discreetly in the back to get her to step into the drawing room.A sea of conversation washed over them. Elegant London ladies in fashionable dresses chatted with gentlemen in elaborate cravats and tight-fitting black coats. Emma felt more than a little dowdy. She searched f...
I saw them with him walking and laughing on the village green. Such delightful gentlemen. They say you can tell a lot about a man from the friends he keeps. —from Isabelle Dorring’s diary Marcus, accompanied by Nate and Alex, stepped out of Wilkinson’s office with the notices Wilkinson—no, mo...
