An Elegant Facade by Kristi Ann Hunter

I really enjoyed the story in this book although at times I just wanted to yell at Lady Georgina to wake up and see what was right in front of her. But no, she was so preoccupied with hiding her secret and making a good match to secure her future she couldn't, or wouldn't because of his station in life, see the wonderful man Colin was. Instead she tried her best to avoid him to no avail and he enjoyed sparring with her.

If you enjoy historical romance then this is the book for you! I was given a copy by NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This was the first book I have read by this author but it won't be the last.

Saving The Marquise's Granddaughter by Carrie Fancett Pagels

Oh my what a story! Forbidden romance set among turbulent times in history.

I am not a history person but the way the history was woven into the story let's the reader get lost in the story without realizing they are getting a history lesson. I really connected with these characters, a privileged young lady and a hard working young man. The story of their plight - and fight - was a page turner until the very end. Readers will fall in love with Suzanne and Johan and be cheering for them through the whole book.

I recommend this book if you are looking for a good story with a bit of history woven in. I was given a copy of this book by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
