Her Seafaring Scoundrel

The Crawfords, Book 3
by Sophie Barnes

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Lady Cassandra gave her heart and herself to her fiancee before their wedding… tragically her fiancee, Timothy was accidentally killed on the way to the wedding. Now, thirteen years later, still loves the husband she lost… and the daughter he gave her.

Always fond of family friend, Lady Cassandra, Captain Devlin is honour bound to defend her at a ball and accidentally announces his engagement to her. Now he has to make that happen…

After successfully convincing a woman, who never wanted to marry to marry him, they along with her daughter venture forward on a grand ocean adventure and Devlin attempt to make his wife fall in love with him.

I really enjoyed the big hearted character of Devin, he was always so understanding and loving… as for Cassandra, I found her extreme devotion to her deceased fiancee a bit much. Thirteen years is a long time, especially when you have a new person in your life who is making you feel again. The daughter Penelope was. Fun addition and played well off of Devlin and Cassandra. Another bright spot was the sea adventure. It was great fun to read about life on the ship and see the characters grow together in this environment.

Her Seafaring Scoundrel by Sophie Barnes is scheduled to release April 28th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from author Sophie Barnes through NetGalley. 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.

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...
