Never a Duke

Never a Duke

Rogues to Riches #7

by Grace Burrowes


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


The Wentworth family sage concludes and comes full circle with the final story and HEA for a series favourite, adopted Wentworth, Ned!


We met Ned in the first book when he was in Newgate with Family patriarch, Quinn Wentworth. He was a scrap of a boy then, but he stole my heart from the get-go and has been a favourite reoccurring character ever since! I loved getting to see him grow up and come into his own man, a man as worthy and needed as any other of the Wentworth men. 


In Never a Duke, Ned is now managing the family bank and settled in his role in the family, but he still feels like an outsider at times. Then comes Rosalind and he is finally seen for his whole self as never before!


Rosalind has asked Ned to help her find her missing lady companions… there have been two that have disappeared and no one has given a care about their sudden disappearance… that is until she asks a former boy of the streets, Mr. Ned Wentworth, and he takes her concerns to heart and in turn he captures her heart as well!


This was a real treat of a series finale. I loved getting all the back story on Ned’s character, along with the updates/ cameos of the other Wenworth family members. This rags to riches series has been a true delight and the last book was just as enjoyable as the first!


Overall, this was a perfect ending to a delightful family series!

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...
