Courting Trouble

The Goode Girls, Book 2

by Kerrigan Byrne

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Picking up where we left off in A Dark and Stormy Knight, Honoria Goode, Nora to her friends, has been shot by her husband. To save her life, she is disked off to the best surgeon in London, Titus Conlieth, who happens to be her first love!

Soon we are sent back in time to the being of Nora and Titus’s romance, where they meet while he is in service as a coal boy for her household. His quick action and diligence and up saving hNora’s life when she contract Typhus and set him on the path of medicine and puts the wheels in motion for their love and heartbreak.

As I have found with Kerrigan’s work, this is a fast paced story that keeps you riveted and turning pages. I could barely put this book down until the last page!

This book had a good amount of steam and the character have great chemistry. The mixing of classes is done well and Kerrigan does. Great job depicting the grittier side of London life in contrast to the glittering life of aristocratic London. I also love seeing past characters for the the series showing up throughout the book.

This was a great historical romance that has you rooting for a second chance for Titus and the fallen Nora all the way! With the flashbacks, this can totally be read as a standalone.

Courting Trouble by Kerrigan Byrne is scheduled to release December 8th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Oliver Herberts Books 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...
