LORD RAKEHELL'S LOVE by Donna Cummings: (The Curse of True Love, Book 1) Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, is attempting to play matchmaker in Regency London. . . only she's placed a curse on the lovers instead.

Now she is trapped in a marriage of endless pain and fear.

EMBRACING SCANDAL by Suzi Love: (Scandalous Siblings, Book 1) Lady Rebecca Jamison, a mathematical genius, saves her siblings from financial ruin by dabbling in the London stock exchange.

BOOK ONE written by HEATHER BOYD in the SWEET SURRENDER series. This book was purchased as part of a boxed set
GENRE: Historical Romance
SETTING: England; Regency era
CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTER: ELIZABETH TURNER is a widower trying to support a son and working as a companion and later head housekeeper.
CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: OLIVER has spent years in an asylum. He is quite intelligent but a loner with the exception of his blooming friendship with GEORGE, Elizabeth’s son.
SYNOPSIS
Three brothers having found each other. Two engaged to be married and one that has always dreamed of traveling. Three women. One a Duchess, the other a Lady and sadly one a companion to become a head housekeeper.
WHAT I LIKED: Oliver’s relationship with George
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: Unanswered questions in the plot.
1) Who was the Duke and why did he separate three boys;
2) How did Tobias know to rescue his brother from the fire;
3) Where were Leopold and Tobias incarcerated or sent to by the Duke;
4) Why did Henry want George
5) Who were the parents of Edwin
6) How did the important three items get into the chamber if no one knew about the chamber other than Oliver.
RATING: (4) stars BECAUSE too many missing elements in the plot BUT a nice lengthy storing to read.

A few gems amidst the dross
A few well written stories, but a few that were very tedious. I enjoyed the stories for the most part, but one was so convoluted and poorly written it took me several days to get through. There were also several typos, especially words with accents or French I origin. The first story and the last were my favorites and are actors I will look for in the future. I'm glad for the opportunity to read authors that I'm unfamiliar with and will give most of these a second look.

What a treat! I already read Gill and SooKoo, so I knew I was going to be reading some wonderful stories for the price of one. Because of this set I was able to discover new writers that I am excited about reading more from. Grab this amazing deal you won't regret it!
