Lord Holt Takes a Bride

Mating Habits of Scoundrels #1

by Vivienne Lorret

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

This new series definitely starts off with a wild ride! Lord Holt Takes a Bride introduces us to Heiress Winnifred Humphries and her friend of misfits as she prepares for her wedding to the odious Mr. Woodbine. Though in line for a Dukedom, there is no love between these two. He outright insults her figure and eating habits! Her friends devise a way to escape the wedding by leaving a sousing in a caraige outside the wedding, should she choose to bail…

Unbenounced to Beatrice, the cousin is not in the carriage, but Lord Holt (Asher) - bent on returning her to her father to receive payment upon her safe return… too bad the quick drop off turns into a 3 day adventure into the country where anything wrong that could occur, does!

Asher and Beatrice make their way to their destination and discover their true selves along the way. The character development and accompanying banter made this a real fun book to read. Each character had their faults, but you can’t help rooting for them the whole time! Asher and Beatrice against the world!

The end was a bit far fetched, but in romanceland, it was perfect. Left me with a big smile on my face!

One complaint wold be with the devastatingly beautiful cover- throughout the book Beatrice suffers low self-esteem over her body shape. While stunning, it would have been nice to see a curvier model on the cover.

Lord Holt Takes a Bride by Vivienne Lorret is scheduled to release March 31st, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through Edelweiss+. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 #TheArtOfTaxidermy #sharonkern...

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
