Undressed with the Marquess

Lost Lords of London, Book 3

by Christi Caldwell

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Trigger warning at the end of review.

The final lost lord has been found, and none too soon! Dare Grey was moments away from dangling from a noose! Our last lord is an unrepentant thief who steal from the rich to give to the poor, a Regency Robin hood!

Returned to the life he left, he is now the Marquess, and as such, he must see to the succession and find a husband for the sister he never knew… in order to receive the funds his grandfather, the duke promised upon his return. Once he succeeds at one of these, he will have his funds and can go back to East London and continue helping it’s people.

Dare decides the easiest way to start this process is to get his long abandoned wife and bring her home as his Marchioness. Temperance Swift does not easily go along with this plan, but after a deal is struck, she attempts to help Dare achieve at least one of his goals… find a husband for his sister. She refuses to entangle her heart with him again.

Dare and Temperance were such caring characters that looked to help other before themselves. This characteristic left them both with their own hurts and flaws that coloured their actions. His lost lord was different from the past ones, since he left home as a boy and was not welcomed home. He then was sold to MacDiggory like the others. Having spent many years in his aristocratic life, he had an easy transition, but failed to see how it would be much more difficult for his wife who was East London born and raised.

I enjoyed watching our little Robin Hood find a way to transition his life but still continue his purpose. As well, the evolution of the lovers second chance and a new perspective of their own ideal HEA drove this story home.

I have really enjoyed the Lost Lords series, the only thing I would have changes would be to have more of a connection between the lost lords and some cameos.

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...
