Someday My Duke Will Come

Isle of Synne Series: Book 2

by Christina Britton

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Look out! There’s a new duke in town!

We are introduced to the Quincy Nesbitt in the last book as the friend and business partner of the Duke of Dane. Before setting out to see the world after making his fortune, Quincy decides to see his friend the duke again and try to make amends with his estranged mother and brothers…

The visit with Dane goes well, but when he finally visits his ancestral home, he discovers that all three of his brothers have died and he is now the Duke of Reigate!

Quincy never planned on becoming the duke and now his whole world is turned upside down! Making matters worse, his mother is as terrible to him as ever… the only bright side is the intervention the Lady Clara gives him in the form of a fake engagement. This arrangement allows him the pleasure of his company while, keeps his mother from foisting a bride him and stops Lady Claras well meaning relatives from their matchmaking! Everyone wins! That is until their feelings get into the mix and their pasts rear up.

What a delightful story! I love a rakish hero and Quincy definitely fits the bill. After meeting him in the prior book, I loved getting the in-depth reveal of his past. Another repeat character, Lady Clara was developed well and was easy to relate to.

I loved the chemistry between these two and the way the author developed their relationship while she unravels their past. This was an excellent read and I highly recommend it to fans of historical romance!

A Good Duke Is Hard to Find by Christina Britton is scheduled to release January 12th, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) 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. 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...
