James Simpson’s rakish ways have finally caught up with him. Snared in a scandal that for once is not his doing, he is forced to do the honorable thing and offer marriage to the lady. But her father won’t agree to a dowry unless James can also find a suitable husband for the lady’s elder sister-quiet, reserved Lucinda Cardington. As James gets to know the vibrant, charming, and passionate woman behind Lucinda’s shy exterior, he comes to the distressing realization that he doesn’t want her in anyone’s arms but his own…

This is a fun story and it was a quick read. I finished it in one sitting and enjoyed it very much. I was especially drawn to Lucinda–the older daughter. She was not as socially adept as her younger sister, but she had so much more depth of character that I think she would have been a good friend. Unlike a lot of women at the time, she has no desire in getting married, mostly because she doesn’t think anyone would want her.

It’s an inspy romance without being preachy. The faith of these characters isn’t something they hit you over the head with–it’s the way they live; i.e., Lucinda working at Caring House for Wayward Ladies.

James is a cheerful, fun rake with his own set of scruples. While he is an inveterate flirt, he would never compromise an innocent. He, also, has no intention of being married–until one day he is caught in a dilemma and forced to become engaged to Lucinda’s younger sister–with the strict admonition from the parents that he also find a husband for Lucinda.

Seeing how they slowly fall in love with each other, while at the same time being forced by their own code of ethics to do nothing about it makes this story work. And I have to say I absolutely love the ending. I could so see this being made into a movie and it would be so much fun!

When it comes to love, there’s no such thing as traveling light.

Born wealthy and ambitious, Grady once worked hard and played hard—so hard, it brought him to the brink of ruin. Now, after a five-year retreat into the contemplative life, he’s dipping a toe back into the real world.

Assigned to write a series of articles about a Connecticut valley’s small towns, Grady checks into a local hotel. And meets a bellhop who seems determined to show him around…and maybe indulge in a more intimate tour later on.

When Josh’s boss half-jokingly suggests he get on a first-name basis with the writer who could make or break their town’s reputation, Josh jumps at the chance. He dreams of seeing the world, but the man he thought might be his ticket out turns out to be less influential—and more attractive—than he expected.

Together they uncover a strange plot to detour Norcross’s tourist dollars, a plot that leaves Grady bruised and angry. Now they’ll have to decide how far they’ll go to save the town…and how far they’ll fall for each other.

A man on the road to recovery is mistaken for a famous travel journalist and ends up being seduced by a bellhop. But dangers lurk in the shadows of their quaint small town.

Grady and Josh have wonderfully differing personalities. Where Grady is reserved, quiet and trying to remain clean in all aspects of his life, Josh is open, wild, and a bit reckless with everything, even his heart. Grady starts out as a passive character but Josh’s active qualities bring that quality out in Grady as well. I liked seeing the two men grow into their full potential. Grady’s change is to be expected, since he can’t be a monk forever, but Josh’s transformation is more full-blown. Josh has many jobs in their small town, and while he’s spent his life wishing he were somewhere else, he learns to value what he has and what he’s got to lose.

I also appreciated the sex scenes that felt realistic. The flaming attraction between them is not quite instant but when it blazes, it’s hot. The realism comes in several stages, such as asking what the other desires and both men being versatile in their sexual roles. The constant need that happens at the start of any relationship was depicted well.

The plot revolves around two centers. In the first part of the book Grady is being mistaken for his cousin Geoffrey, the luxury-loving travel journalist whose opinion makes or breaks small towns that rely on tourism. There are some confusing and funny moments because of that. The second part of the plot is about an apparent conspiracy against Norcross by a rival town that seeks the same special project grants and community prizes as Norcross, as they fight for the same tourist dollars. Grady and Josh find themselves in a key position to solve the problem. Whether this reads as realistic or not is anybody’s guess. I don’t doubt that corruption happens, but if this fits the story… well, I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

About Norcross and its citizens. Well, this is one those small towns you either love or you hate. In the beginning, I was firmly in the hate department. None of the side characters were amiable or sympathetic, and their views awfully insular. Then I began to see the light shining on the dung heap, as it were. There were some positive aspects to the town and its people. But, all in all, I didn’t warm up to the town much. I didn’t like any of the side characters, who were nosy, prejudiced, scheming, outright evil, or simply rude for no reason. Others of you may like the town with its so-called eccentric folks and quaint ambiance. Personally, I didn’t see it.

Nonetheless, I liked the main couple, so the problems this book had were overlooked. Grady’s life lessons were intriguing to follow, and Josh was just a lovable man, practically in every sense. Their scenes, whether talking or making out, were a pleasant read. Because of the sweet romance, I recommend this to all folks who don’t mind a couple of aggravations along the way to perfect happiness.

Looking down upon Christopher Payton, Cora Colton can’t believe she even doubts saying yes to his proposal. From a good family, wealthy, and charming, Christopher is perfect for her. However, staring down at the band of gold and diamonds, she hesitates. Something is missing, something is wrong, but she just doesn’t know what that something is.

After her father’s sudden death, Cora travels to Tacoma and learns that she is now the owner of his gold claim in Dawson City, Canada. Throwing caution to the wind, she leaves her ring on the table, and departs for Canada and the adventure of a lifetime.

Arriving in the canvas tent town of Skagway on the Klondike trail, Cora catches the attention of Flynn O’Neill, an Irishman who has lived on the trail guiding stampeeders for a few years. A bond thrusts them together, but their pasts could be what tears them apart—if they can survive the hardships and death on the trail to the land of gold.

Ms. Archer describes the environment so that the reader’s senses are assailed with the odors, sights, sounds, and the feel of the awful cold, wet misery. But she also reveals the majestic views and beauty of the perilous country. It is breath-holding at times and breathtaking at other times.

In the Land of Gold is a cold, wet vicarious trip over perilous terrain where lawlessness makes staying alive even more perilous—an attention keeping read.

Parliament is dissolved and Queen Victoria’s grandson, Prince Albert becomes the heir apparent. The Regency Committee rules with an iron fist, but they bring peace and order back into the nation.

Miriam Walker is a strong, likeable protagonist. She is a widow who has lost her three children, one of them killed by the Knockerboys, monsters who have entered into this alternate London of 1899. As a result, she has taken on the mission of protecting all those she can and killing as many of the monsters as possible.

I enjoy thinking about possible alternate realities. The plot of Little Wicked Things sets up a very believable and frightening alternative to Victorian London. The nineteenth century was one of tremendous scientific changes. In this version, people tinkered with transmutation, with disastrous results. Miriam comes across a journal which details the experiments, a journal which she has promised to destroy. Unfortunately before she can do that, she is captured.

The plot is well-paced, with the tension building as Miriam uncovers more and more about several different plot lines. She has always worked alone, but now discovers that she must help others and in turn be helped by them. She needs to work with those whom she normally has considered to be immoral. She learns a lot about the way others struggle to live. She also develops a greater hatred of those who are called the Four Hundred, haughty powerful aristocrats who are currently in charge of the nation.

I was hooked from the opening page and as the tension built I found that I couldn’t put the book down. I went down many dangerous paths with Miriam, watching as she fights evil and finds kindness in surprising places. I liked the fact that Miriam is willing to learn about those she had formerly just judged. She develops and changes as the novel progresses, but one thing never changes and that is her determination to hunt the Knockerboys.

Readers who enjoy steampunk fantasy are sure to be captivated by Miriam and her quest for a better world.

I really enjoyed the plot; I thought it was the best part of the book considering how I am usually able to guess how things will turn out, and the author kept slamming doors of possibility in my face as I kept guessing and being wrong. It’s a wonderfully done piece. My only complaint would be the obnoxious girl who, of course, ran the school and was the popular one. She was rather stereotypical, when it comes down to the mean girl type.

Liv was an excellent main character. She had a great development, and I enjoyed watching her try and fit back into the real world and her new life after such a little time to recover. She had curiosity and spunk that made me giggle, and she usually had a reason to cry, so wasn’t a whiny heroine. She possessed strength, especially in the end, when she finally discovered the real reasons behind her mental battles and odd dreams.

Spencer was as equally well done for a brooding teenage boy trying to erase the mistakes in his life and redo his world. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about him and what he did for Liv in her destroyed life, picking up all the broken pieces and gluing them back together.  A good book that has me looking for more from this publisher and author.

The Revenge Artist is the story of a bullied teen who embarks on a dark journey of revenge when she discovers she has the power to make bad things happen by drawing them. The novel explores the emotional pain, isolation, and self-hatred caused by bullying and cyber-bullying in particular as it follows the self-destructive path taken by one teen attempting to defend herself from bullies.

Evelyn is temporarily empowered by her ability to hurt others, “Don’t you know? I’m a witch… a real, honest to God, black-hearted, evil witch!” and this is what keeps her from seeing that her true power comes from her loyal and caring nature, the love and support of her friends and family, and most of all, her intelligence and creativity.

They say karma catches up with everyone eventually, so what’s wrong with helping it show up a little early?

Evelyn’s character development was strong. She has a good balance of flaws and strengths, several of which played an important role later on in this tale. I really enjoy it when authors tie their protagonist’s personalities so strongly to the plot because it leaves a lot of room for the main character to grow emotionally as a result of his or her experiences.

There were some pacing issues early on. Approximately the first third of the book was used for character development as well as setting the scene for everything that happened later on. While all of the background information I learned in this section was important, the blurb lead me to assume that I’d be reading something that moved along more quickly. In some ways these two portions felt like entirely different stories due to how they were paced and the issues they spent the most time focusing on. It would have been helpful to have a few more glimpses of the excitement to come in the first chapter or two in order to bridge the gap between Evelyn’s ordinary life and what happens to her after her big betrayal.

The conversations Evelyn has with her friends sometimes switched from English to Spanish for a phrase or sentence. I recommend taking the time to translate them to anyone who isn’t fluent in Spanish because they were so well written and informative. It was fun to get to know Evelyn and her friends from these brief exchanges as they often showed sides of these characters’ personalities that were otherwise hidden.

The Revenge Artist is an intriguing choice for anyone who knows what it’s like to be teased or bullied in school.

Julian’s three half-sisters add a delightful and important layer to the story. Miranda Neville brings these three young personalities to life in ways that enhance the plot and the development of Julian and Jane. The back story of all of their lives is subtle woven into the story, so the reader feels as if she knows the characters personally.

The characters captivate and the plot intrigues. The reader is pulled into a world of lies, secrets, heartache, horrific past deeds, and greed; yet there is humor and, best of all, love that runs like a strong golden thread through all the darkness of the story.

The antagonists emerge from the dark past of both Julian’s and Jane’s lives. They heighten the stakes to a fever pitch. The suspense and anxiety build to heart-pounding levels when protagonists and antagonists all come together at Denford Castle.

Miranda Neville delivers another page-turning historical love story that is memorable. THE DUKE OF DARK DESIRES stands alone, but some of the minor characters have had their own stories in previous books in this series. They will very likely become “want-to-read” books after enjoying this one.

Even the pet iguana Fifi and the cat Tiger Lily were lovely characters that added a certain charm to the Happy Crab Motel and Coral Cove as a whole. The quaintness of the town was nicely introduced through the colorful characters and the descriptions of the fun events and old-fashioned places. It made me want to visit it, and it explained why Camille ultimately changed her mind about forcing Reece to sell his motel and allow Windchime Resorts to forever change the town.

This is such a feel-good story I’d recommend it to anyone who likes sweet romances or just needs a heartwarming read to cheer themselves up.
