Married to the Mysterious Highlander: A Medieval Historical Romance Novel (Conquering the Scots Book 1) by Lydia Kendall

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The description of this book grabbed me, and I settled down and put it at the top of my TBR list. The story did not disappoint and the unintentional comedy of the story is very witty. I've never seen a Laird so used by his own clan, and a woman to throw so much chaos into the situation without even really doing anything. This story has it all, a mystery, calamity, and a whole lot of love.

Always the Bridesmaid, Never the Duchess: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Wallflower Season Book 3) by Ava MacAdams

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story is typical for this genre, the spinster wants to taste what she is missing, The big bad duke stops her from making the mistake, but gets a taste of her, and doesn't want to let go. When they find out the truth of what really happened about the disaster of breaking up her brother's marriage, they become friends, then more. The climax is exciting as the Duke fixes what seems to be an unhappy marriage of his new love's best friend. The dialogue is witty and cutting. The two characters have a chemistry that fires their anger and their lust. Maybe, just maybe the bridesmaid will be a Duchess.
 

A Life-Changing Easter Miracle by Carol Colyer

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This story is scary on so many levels, but it all comes together at the culmination of Easter. There's a big bad uncle and a warm welcoming family. A woman who's uncle is keeping her prisoner and making her do slave labor. Charming Adam comes along and helps Eden to freedom. The climax is exciting, but the uncle's character is a little over the top. The world may be a little crazy, but Eden's uncle tops the list.

Lawfully Smitten by Jenna Brandt

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love the characters Ted and Deanna, but their coworkers left a lot to be desired. Some of the old characters are great, but characters like Zack and Janet were without depth and the reality of the law enforcement work place environment. The story is a friends to marriage novel and is very short. This novelette is a great afternoon read or a way to get you in the spirit of love.

An Innocent Soul to Care for: A Historical Western Romance Novel by Lorelei Brogan

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a unique historical western story. Instead of the woman being a mail-order bride, she decides to become a nurse. She feels marriage is not for her. A young sheriff who has to find a missing baby. This story has a bunch of strange twists and plots, but it is never boring. I continued to turn the page just to see what the villains were going to do or our duo with the baby. It has an exciting climax and the love these two find with each other is endearing.
 

Marrying a Cowgirl (Callahans of Copper Creek Book 2) by Natalie Dean

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a poignant tale about a crush on a man who only sees the woman in front of him, because he's trying to forget her sister. There are so many things and rules going on that I'm not sure how anyone can ever fall in love. James does more than just see Constance, he sees potential and intelligence that her father stifles.
 

Unsung (The Henry Brothers #2) by Amy Knupp

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a rather romantic and moving love story about a runaway bride and a man with a shameful past. Everly is hiding from the public and Seth is hiding from his past. Only no one where he lives knows the truth. Everly and Seth are written with a fire between them. It looks like fate has placed Everly in Seth's way when she decides to ditch walking down the aisle. I love how the author works the dynamics out for a wonderful ending.
