I just finished A Governess for the Brooding Duke: A Historical Regency Romance Book and gave it 4 stars.

I really wanted to like this book, it has a good premise. I’m not even sure a good editor and proofreader could save it. I know it would need an almost complete rewrite. I only made it through 100 pages, and could Not continue, it was so painful. so painful.It had some good reviews, and I’m not sure why, unless English was not the reviewers’ first language.

I just finished True Love for the Reluctant Earl: Regency Historical Romance and gave it 4 stars.

I just finished A Repo Girl Christmas (Repo Girl Series Book 2) and gave it 5 stars. Love the first two books in this series. Funny and engaging.

I just finished The Dream: A Funny and Feel Good small Town Romantic Comedy (The Creek Water Series Book 4) and gave it 5 stars.
A sweet, funny and moving story, I loved it. An old friend and an old crush, and a couple of old enemies. When they keep running into each other, who knows what will happen. Loved every minute of it.

I just finished Defiant Ruin (The Asarlaí Wars Book 3). Really good series. Not enough science to call it SF, but a really great soap opera.

I just finished Running After a Heartbreaker: A Funny Small-Town Romance (Brides on the Run Book 4) and gave it 5 stars.
I have really loved this series. Really good stories, wonderful romances, just the right amount of spice, of heartbreak and happiness, and a wonderful HEA! Recommend if you like engaging romances.

I just finished Running From the Law: A surprise baby romantic comedy (Brides on the Run Book 3) and gave it 5 stars. Love this series! Not without some spice, bu not exactly porn either, just a lot of good, clean (mostly, anyway, remember, spice) fun and laughs. Read!

I just finished Tomboy Bride and gave it 5 stars. A great read. I really enjoyed this sweet romance.

I just finished Dragon Slippers and gave it 5 stars. Practically perfect.

I just finished The Summer Visitors and gave it 5 stars. Remarkable. Touched me deeper than anything I’ve read in a long while.

I just finished Crossfire (Star Kingdom Book 4) and gave it 5 stars. I have really enjoyed this series and am so glad it is not over yet, though I do hate waiting to continue. This is not a dystopian story, no zombies, no nuclear disasters, no focus on sex or romance, just an old fashioned rip roaring space opera. This is a SF genre I have loved for fifty years, looking for many more.

I just finished Crossfire (Star Kingdom Book 4) and gave it 5 stars.

I just finished The Second Chance Café (A Hope Springs Novel Book 1) and gave it 5 stars. A really good book. I fell in love with all the characters, and I hope to get more of their story. Why is it that a really good story is always so short? Maybe because I can’t put it down and read straight through?
I love happy endings, especially when they seem like a good beginning.

I just finished Silent Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book 7 and gave it 5 stars. What a great series. After the first book, I just couldn’t stop reading. I really hope there are many more to come. Whispering Pines is a small community whose residents don’t fit anywhere else. There is love, and friendship, and occasionally some disagreements, as in all relationships. Mystery. A few witches.

I just finished Rule #1: You Can't Date the Coach's Daughter (The Rules of Love) and gave it 4 stars. This is really a high school romance. I had to finish after I started it, but it would be a good book for teens. G rated

I just finished Sleep Like a Baby: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries Book 10) and gave it 4 stars. An okay book, not earth shattering by any means, but an easy pleasant ‘cozy’ read. It’s been a few years since I read the original Teagarden mysteries so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Not disappointed, but not thrilled, either.

I just finished Long, Hot Texas Summer and gave it 5 stars. I love Carolyn Brown’s Texas stories, and this one is right at the top. Always feel like she is just writing about neighbors or friends of mine.

I just finished Die Noon (Goodnight Mysteries Book 1) and gave it 4 stars.
Really, maybe, four and a half stars. A fun book. A good book to read after all the depressing books I’ve been reading lately, even though there’s murder, attempted murder (a few), rattlesnakes left in cars, gunshots in the woods at night, and a possible alien invasion. There is also a ghost, maybe in the next book.

I just finished The Lost Child and gave it 5 stars. A difficult book, but spellbinding. Just when you think you have everything figured out, the author throws you a curve. A satisfying ending, overall, even though it wasn’t quite the expected end.

I just finished Storm: Western Hearts Series and gave it 4 stars. Really good romance, clean. It was fairly believable, and not just another fairy tale where a couple knows in two days that they will spend their life together.
The author builds the story very well, and I loved following along

Love it.

Just finished the third book in the series, INSATIABLE (the first in this book, containing books 3, 4, and 5. Not as good as the first two, but still holding my interest. Really like a stron female lead.

I just finished First to Kill (The Nathan McBride Series Book 1) and gave it 5 stars. Very good, action filled story. Violence.

I just finished A Governess for the Brooding Duke: A Historical Regency Romance Book and gave it 4 stars.

I just finished Wolf and Iron and gave it 3 stars. It took me a long while and a lot of other books to finish. Very slow moving and not a lot of warmth or character building to entice me.
