Not the Kind of Earl You Marry

An Unconventional Ladies of Mayfair Novel, Book 1

by Kate Pembrooke

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

A trick perpetrated by a political rival results in an unlikely alliance and a fake engagement… soon this fake engagement is feeling all too real and has both questioning what they really want in life and can they turn this fake engagement into a real marriage!

One would think that Miss Charlotte Hurst would be ecstatic with he prospect of marrying William Atherton, Earl of Norwood, but they would be wrong! Though her feelings definitely grow for him throughout their fake engagement, she knows that they come from different social levels and she could never fit into his lofty rank or become the political wife that he needs for with ambitions…

I loved that this is His. Rom. that shows a true distinction between the levels of the aristocracy. So ofter we see a duke falling for a lowly village girl that really omits to show the realities of the time. As well, the characters opposite natures balanced well together and their compromises for each other in the end rang true.

I enjoyed that these characters were brought together thorough a nasty trick (that totally backfires!) and their good natures make the best out of what could be an awkward situation and they find what they didn’t know they needed. This was a subtle Cinderella story and was a true delight to read!

Not the Kind of Earl You Marry by Kate Pembrooke is scheduled to be released July 27th, 2020.

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...
