P.S. I'll Make You Mine, My Duke by Violet Hamers

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This story has a tragic beginning and with the prologue, I had hope this would be a great story. Reginald is likeable, but he is still a boy. Amelia's father recognizes this and allows the Duke to court Amelia, but won't approve a marriage. This Duke has served 4 year in the military and has done nothing with his father's tobacco business and let his uncle run the business. The story gets crazy from here with mediocre action scenes and a lot of jumping around during those action scenes. A great plot is reduced an okay story.
 

In Temptation and Damnation with the Earl by Violet Hamers

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

I liked this story although it is outrageous and totally unbelievable. Cleopatra decides to destroy the the Earl's reputation because she believes he killed her brother. The Earl kidnaps her, then marries her. Her brother destroys his gambling hell and the other gambling owner on the street kidnaps Cleopatra from the Earl. Everyone's secrets come to light and the story is becomes even more outrageous. Decided not to read the extended dialogue, because these two made me very tired by the end of the story.
 

The Unbending Duke’s Betrothed: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Kindle Edition) by Patricia Haverton

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I call these "the fake it until you make it" tropes. Anytime two people who are attracted to each other pretend to be courting, engaged or married, invariably they end up falling in love. Although this time, it is a dangerous game when hunting for a killer, because if he killed what is to stop him from doing the same thing again? Falling in love while hunting for killer sets this to be an emotional story. The funny part of this story is that Griffin starts out courting the wrong girl.
 

Her Heart's Precious Legacy: A Historical Western Romance Novel by Carol Colyer

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the beginning of this story, Marcus Blackwood is just one mean and despicable man. How her father can promise her to Marcus is beyond the belief of Isabelle and this reader. She runs to a man, Ethan Cooper, who agrees to help her. Together, they learn to love each other. The climax is a little over the top and Marcus's reason for wanting Isabelle is revealed. Don't get excited! It's ridiculous. Otherwise, the story has a magic of it's own as it weaves itself to the conclusion of a beautiful love story.
