The Marchioness Who Tempted Fate: A Historical Regency Romance Novel by Hanna Hamilton (Goodreads Author), Cobalt Fairy

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story is unusual that it has many twists and turns. The ending is surprising, although I know that Lord Ronald was evil. It made sense since he kept coming down on his nephew about petty things, and getting mad about firings of staff that deserved to be fired. This story steps outside of society, but I don't have much issue with that since the Marquess himself is an outsider in his ways and thinking. They would have called him a Radical back then. The dialogue was good between our main characters and Marcus was right in making Tiffany leave after the attempt on his life. It protected her from Lord Ronald and put her under protection of the retired Constable Brown.

Northern Realm Royal Dragons Prequel: Shifter Short Story by Lisa Daniels

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
This story introduces to the Dragons of the Northern Realm. Where a princess find a hurt man and proceeds to heal him. We learn about human shape shifters that cause damage to themselves every time they shift. How they are trying to destroy the shifters of the world, but don't stand a chance against dragon shifters. The first alliance between shifters will be Marcus and Princess Paola. It's an okay read, but I didn't really get into the characters. Paola is not a very smart princess and has no real depth of character. Marcus is alpha, lets kill em and get it done.

This is a fun and whimsical story with a bit of intrigue. It's a good story and the chemistry and dialogue was excellent between these two. The characters are good and warm people.

A Most Unsuitable Bride for the Marquess by Patricia Haverton, Cobalt Fairy

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Talk about a most inappropriate bride for a Duke, a maid is the one thing no one want for the Duke. Unfortunately, our Duke is smitten with Ophelia. There is danger for the dukes family and it somehow involves Ophelia. There are a lot of social problems with this story and takes away from the story being presented. If you like stories that snub society, and pretend that society accepts a maid as a Duchess, then this story is for you. Otherwise, it's just okay.

Too Scandalous to Marry a Duke by Lucy Langton

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The only thing going on scandalous in this book is Daniella's behavior. This story had more potential than the author gave it. The characters have a powerful attraction, but more could have been done with Daniella than was done. Although, Eric is a bit of a rogue. He is more than willing to acquiesce to his parents will of him getting married, but he is not willing to marry for less than love. I agree with his assessment of marriage; one should not be unhappy for the rest of their lives by marrying for money and not be able to live with the person you married. I think English society takes marriage and rips it apart from what God intended for us. This story lends itself to these facts. Also, the shirtless Duke to be is off putting. The only time you see a Duke shirtless is in the bedroom or if he decides to do manual labor and takes his shirt off himself to save his clothes. Otherwise the story is quite a good read and intriguing.

A Lady's Forever Love: A Historical Regency Romance Book by Bridget Barton

Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐
This story has some wonderful merits, but it's one failing is the repeatability of all the problems that Margaret faces making the story a  bit of a drudge to plod through at times. Margaret knows the problems that she faces. She chose to raiser her friends child and all the consequences that come with that. Her father could have stopped Margaret from initially taking the child in, but allowed it to indulge her, but when faced with the Ton's rejection and possible scandal; He tries to marry her off to the first proposal on the table that enriches his pockets. In the end, wouldn't it be easier to let her marry the man she would be happy with and step out of society, than let her be unhappy. Moral of this story is that wealth and society's good opinion doesn't make for a happy life.

Love in Hiding (Love Beyond Danger #1) by Diane Holiday

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a wonderful suspense novel. The chemistry between the two characters is intense, and Sarah breaks through the rough exterior of Bruce. This story emphasizes the warnings of spousal abuse along with someone who is dirty. Bruce is a wonderful protector and Sarah has found a home on this small horse ranch in Maryland. The intrigue generated is 2nd to the romance, but is just as intense in not knowing what is going to happen next. This is an excellent read for those that love romance mixed with suspense and intrigue.
