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.

To Follow Her Heart by Rebecca DeMarino
I really enjoyed this book. In fact, I enjoyed the whole series. This is book 3 in The Southold Chronicles series but is a great book on its own.
What do you do when you return home to find everyone thinks you died when your ship sank? You find the love of your life and tell her you must leave again, right? Well, no that's not the way Patience Terry thought it would be when Capt. Jeremy Horton came back from the dead. Patience has been waiting - patiently - for Jeremy to make her his bride but something else apparently more important keeps getting in the way. Will she ever be his wife or will she get tired of waiting?
I enjoyed this book but I sometimes got lost in the history. There is a lot of history involved in explaining why Jeremy had to keep leaving and sometimes - not being a history person - I found it boring. But it never lasted long and I have to admit I did learn some history along the way. The author did a wonderful job of weaving the history into the story so the reader would understand the actions of the characters.
I recommend this book and the whole series. I am looking forward to the next book by this author.

No Other Will Do by Karen Witemeyer
Oh golly I enjoyed this book! It is one of those books that gets your attention from the first page and doesn't let go until the end and even then you want it to go on and on.
I haven'r read a book by this author I didn't fall in love with and this one is no exception. You understand the determination in Emma right from the beginning and it only gets stronger as she gets older. But what she didn't expect were the feelings for Malachi after 10 years of not seeing him. They have both grown but can childhood like turn into adult love? Oh the stumbling blocks to love can be many! Will Emma and Mal be able to overcome their fears to trust?
I know you will love this book as I did. I can't wait for the next book from this author.

Forever Safe by Jody Hedlund
I loved this book! I loved the whole series but this book really captured my interest and I love the way the story flowed. This is book #4 in the Beacons of Hope series but the books do not have to be read in order to be enjoyed.
Victoria is spoiled. That is a fact. She has no concept of how to live without being waited on hand and foot. Tom, on the other hand, has never enjoyed being in the midst of the super rich but because of his job he has no other choice. When he crosses paths with Victoria he knows he is in trouble. Can we say instant attraction? The author does a wonderful job of expressing the frustration and sexual tension between these two as the book goes on. Coming from two different directions will they ever be able to find a common ground? Just that thought alone kept me turning pages into the wee hours of the morning.
You will love this book! It is well worth your money and time! In fact, if you have not read any of the series please do. Ms. Hedlund did an outstanding job with these books and I learned a lot about lighthouses in the process which was very interesting.

The Reluctant Duchess by Roseanna M. White
This is the second book in the Ladies Of The Manor series. While I have not read the first book this one was easy to follow and the reader does not get lost because they didn't read the first book. Each book stands on it's own and can either be read in order or not.
Lady Rowena has a problem. A big one. Her father wants her to marry a man who will take over his passion for preserving their Highland heritage. After an attack by said man Rowena wants nothing to do with him. What is she to do?
What happens next and throughout the rest of the book kept me turning pages late into the night. Every time I thought I was at a stopping place something else happened to keep me reading.
I loved the authors attention to detail and she brought the history to life in a way that enhanced the story but did not feel like a history lesson. As for the Duke - oh my! Ladies, you will swoon!
I cannot wait to read the next book in this series and see what happens next. While I am waiting I will go back and read the first book. If you love historical fiction you will love this book. I highly recommend it!

Planted With Hope by Tricia Goyer and Sherry Gore
Usually when I read a book #2 in a series I am disappointed but not this time. Tricia Goyer and Sherry Gore are the perfect team to make this a series to look forward to. Book 2 was just as good as book 1 and I can't wait for book 3. The story grabs you right from the beginning and the only time I wanted to put the book down was to go into the kitchen to try one of the many wonderful recipes contained in the book.
I recommend this book and even though it is part of a series they do not have to be read in order. Each book tells it's own story. You will not be sorry you picked this book up.
